Little ones love interacting with our precious farm animals.  Bring them along to meet the farm family!

In addition to the numerous birds within our collection, the vast and varied surrounding habitat around Crocworld also invites substantial wild bird life to the centre. Today, over 200 bird species can be encountered at Crocworld. Iconic species include the Palm Nut Vulture, as well as the African White Pelican being some of the rarer sightings.

Our Reptile House displays a number of snakes species.

Our team of pastry chefs are whipping up a storm in the Rose Terrace kitchen. If you fancy a delectable cake creation for your next event or party, we have you covered!

To enquire about our cake selection and to order, please email functions@vergelegen.co.za. 

Try our Sunday Celebrations, sharing generous tables laden with plentiful platters. Families and friends gather around as they would at home but embracing other like-minded diners who have also come to delight in nature’s abundance and sip, if old enough, on fresh, elegant wines that express their lime-rich soils and proximity to the sea. We call it merroir – a blend of mer/sea and terroir.
