ABOUT BRENTHURST GARDENS

Brenthurst Estate has been the traditional home of the Oppenheimer family since 1920. First Sir Ernest, then Harry and now Nicky and Strilli Oppenheimer call this 16 hectare estate home.

The gardens of Brenthurst are quite unique and extremely diverse. Rated as one of the finest gardens in South Africa and one of the great gardens of the world, Brenthurst is inspired by its African surroundings. Filled with indigenous and endemic plants and completely organically sustained, Brenthurst lives in true harmony with nature.

Today it is a haven for birds and small mammals, while insect life is prolific too. Rodents, frogs, reptiles and raptors all live there in natural balance.

Brenthurst comprises a number of unique and individual gardens, which have been designed to be part of a harmonious whole.

  • Fragrant Bell Garden
  • Highveld Grass Garden
  • Renoir Terrace
  • Shade Terrace
