Brahman Hills Gardens

About the garden

Brahman Hills Gardens boasts a formal layout with repeating geometric motifs in circles and rectangles of hard landscaping, softened and beautifully contrasted by abundant flowers and plants. Interspersed throughout are oases of water – fountains, ponds, formal pools and the lake beside the Lake House.

The garden was designed by Tim Steyn as a series of 26 garden rooms of varying sizes and compositions. The unifying thread is a palette of moody hues and a sweeping combination of grasses and perennials that now line winding walkways and open lawns, envelope circular water features and fringe wide, low garden stairs.

The garden features an extensive kitchen garden, which supplements the Brahman Hills kitchen; shady pergolas dotted along the structured pathways; tiered terraces and multi-level flower beds, which provide enchanting backdrops for photoshoots.
