Although the Piquetberg Nature Reserve is zoned agricultural, it is a private conservancy situated 25 minutes from the town of Piketberg and 90 minutes drive from Cape Town. This 240 ha property rises above the Swartland farmlands at over 800 feet above sea level. The highest point, Aasvoelskop, stands as a natural sentinel at the south west corner of the reserve. Average rainfall is 1 000 mm per annum. To the south, the view can stretch as far as Table Mountain, one hundred and twenty kilometers away, while to the west the conservancy adjoined by neighbouring wilderness provides most spectacular sunsets.
