About Harold Porter National Botanical Garden
Harold Porter is the coastal fynbos garden of the national network, at Betty's Bay on the Whale Coast, laid out between the mountains and the sea. It is small and easy: a couple of hours of paths through proteas, ericas and restios, a forested kloof with a waterfall, and a good chance of orange-breasted sunbirds and Cape sugarbirds on the flowers. The penguin colony at Stony Point is five minutes away, and the whales pass this coast in winter. Betty's Bay, Pringle Bay and Kleinmond have the accommodation, all within a short drive.
