Breathe deeply, let the natural surroundings ground you, and reconnect with what truly matters.
Stretching across eight acres, The Vineyardβs gardens are curated but never constrained. Wander riverside trails, pause in hidden nooks, and let the ever-changing flora remind you to slow down and take it all in.
And donβt be surprised if a tortoise ambles by mid-thought; they know a thing or two about moving with intention.
First envisioned in the 1980s by pioneering landscape architect Anne Sutton, the Vineyardβs gardens are a decades-long collaboration between human craft and natural rhythm.
Working with the flow of the Liesbeek River, Sutton embraced diversity and ecological purpose, introducing indigenous vegetation, meditative spaces, and water features that ripple with tranquillity.
As a result, each rock and pathway tells a story shaped by intention, not accident.
Lace up your running shoes or hiking boots and explore scenic routes winding through Newlands Forest, up the slopes of Table Mountain, and along the tranquil Liesbeek River Trail.
Whether you’re chasing a sunrise run, tackling rugged mountain paths, or enjoying a peaceful walk beneath towering trees, these trails offer the perfect escape for nature lovers and fitness enthusiasts alike.
