Rondevlei is the 290-hectare section of False Bay Nature Reserve at the corner of Perth Road and Fisherman’s Walk, Grassy Park / Zeekoevlei. Official City hours: daily 07:30–17:00; weekends December–February only 07:30–19:00; closed Christmas Day. The City lists a museum, footpaths, viewing towers, bird hides and picnic areas. Entrance fees sit on the Nature Conservation tariff downloads on that page — we do not invent a rand amount from a third-party birding site. Phone 021 400 9593. This is not Table Mountain National Park and not Zeekoevlei’s water-sports section.
