During
the development of Cape St. Francis, Irma Booysen
persuaded her husband, the original owner of the farm
Ongegunde Vryheid, to set land aside to protect the
fynbos of the area. The Reserve lies within 200m of the
Cape St. Francis Resort. A walk through the reserve is
a must-do for all lovers of nature and indigenous flora
such as this fynbos. Maps and plant guides are
available at the Resort's reception office
