National citation:
With its stunning natural backdrop of mountainous vistas, Bosjes rejuvenates a working farm property near Cape Town into a world-class agri-tourism destination with a difference. Offering a broad range of programs and spatial experiences, the project constitutes a series of distinctive micro-destinations linked by quiet moments of exploration through narrow meandering paths and strategically sited to capture the serenity of the surrounding mountain ranges. The jury was impressed by the project’s approach to resilience in a challenging environment prone to weather extremes, flood and drought. We appreciated the thorough suite of ecological initiatives to remediate the site, preserve endangered flora and fauna, and establish habitat. The project has also provided opportunities for local engagement with schools and communities through working programs on environmental rehabilitation and horticulture.

This event is proudly supported by AILA's newest National Partner, Trailworx.
