Visit Bird Island, an internationally famous breeding site for the Cape gannet colony. This is the only breeding site of its kind (of only 6 sites worldwide) that is easily accessible to the public.

Other bird species such as White breasted cormorants, Common terns, Cape cormorants, Hartlaub's gulls and Kelp gulls, as well as Cape fur seals can be seen.
Visit the art gallery on Steenbokfontein historical farm right next to Grootvlei Guest Farm.
