The Green Cathedral of South Africa

Soekershof, Private Mazes & Botanical Gardens in South Africa, is everything a garden should be; a place of calmness, relaxation, contemplation and education.

Not a 'botanical garden' with the banter of coffee corners, restaurants and craftshops.

Soekershof is a rare combination of aesthetics, cultural discoveries and ecological balance.

The description "mazes & botanical gardens' is a simplified one. There is more. It's all a personal experience and a huge exercise for body, mind and spirit.
Nothing is what it seems but The Green Cathedral of South Africa is!!!

And once taken the step; visitors are becoming regular visitors wether they are from South Africa, Switzerland, Australia or the USA.

Soekershof is not designated for mass tourism. Owners and staff value personalised hospitality. This is also unusual in a time that tourist attractions are going for the numbers.

Soekershof is certified by Fair Trade in Tourism in South Africa.

Take your time.
