About this place
A cluster of four larger self-catering cottages at Rocherpan on the Cape West Coast, each named for the reserve’s birds and sleeping up to 6, a short walk from the bird hides, vlei and beach.
This CapeNature accommodation is in Rocherpan Nature Reserve, a coastal reserve north of Velddrif on the Cape West Coast, built around a birdrich seasonal vlei with an unspoilt beach. Bookable through Spekboom as part of the CapeNature travel-trade programme.
159 birds recorded here or nearby, including 14 regional endemics and 7 of conservation concern. Tap a bird for stays where it has been recorded and its field notes.
Nothing is hidden, in-season birds simply move to the front. Months come from national records, not from this garden.












These are records, not promises. Wild birds and animals move, so sightings are never guaranteed.
