Mandalay

Mandalay is situated in a peaceful area of Bedford at 23 Stockholm Street and overlooks the beautiful golf course and the mountain. Espaliered fruit trees count among the 12 different varieties of fruit and nut trees that (along with veggies in raised beds) help fulfil the dream of self-sufficiency in this gracious space with its stunning outlook.

Solar installations and water harvesting mean Bruce and Janine Pitt are 90% off-grid. Roses and fragrant climbers perfume the air while structure and iron work provide interesting focal points. There is something to inspire all in this ever-changing town garden.

Mandalay Garden is open from 8.30am to 10pm Friday and Saturday during Bedford Country Gardens. The garden lighting makes evening pleasure in the magical night garden a must. Feel free to stop by with your own cooler box and stay a while under the stars or book a picnic basket.

* Picnic baskets are available at R190 per person, please order these in advance.
* Tea and brownies are available throughout the day.
