Situated around a man-made lake, Gillooly's Farm is a superb place to go bird watching. A lot of the birds, especially the waterfowl, at the farm are tame and it is possible to walk right up to them.
With over 50 bird species, the sanctuary spreads over an area of 44 hectares. Prime attractions include the white-breasted cormorant, reed cormorant, African darter, grey heron, cattle egret, white stork, Egyptian goose, yellow-billed duck, house sparrow, and Cape wagtail.
The farm is open everyday from Monday to Sunday and entrance is free.
It is an ideal place to relax after walking. Braai and picnicking facilities are available all around the lake. There is also a restaurant with seating both indoors and outdoors.
