Very disappointing. A very rundown park, with a lot of withered plants, dead leaves, and fountains with no splash and rotten water. Full review by Karin1947

Would one hour be enough to see the gardens? There are a few other places that we want to visit so we do not have a lot of time. If one hour is not enough, maybe we should skip it. Opinions welcome.

I think it is a place where you can spend long time and relax but you'll have a good experience even if you're there for a little time. The entrance fee is around 10 rand if you're not Stellenbosch university related but it's still worth it. There is an herbs garden, cactus area, bonsai exposition and for me the highlight, a little pond with water lylys! There is also a greenhouse full of interesting stuff but if you don't have so long you can skip it. Definitely one of the must does if you're in Stellenbosch!

Apologies for the very late response. Probably to late for you but hopefully it might still help someone else. There are trains from Cape Town directly to Stellenbosch. The station is however a few blocks away from the Botanical Garden but definitely within walking distance. Besides this and taxi's there are not any other public transport options.
