Bottelary Hills Conservancy MTB Trails

Great trials with so many options to pit together either short or long one

The Bottelary Hills have great trails - from jeeptracks to mountain singletracks. Quite a bit of hills to work the legs. Gorgeous scenery and views. Most of the entry farms sells day permits. A ride can become quite long on Bottelary Hills and best to plan your route well.

Awesome trails all is good condition. Very well marked. Magnificent views from every angle!

Huge amount of options to ride, well market and lots of expansion done during 2021. Some of the best trails on our doorstep in Cape Town

Nice flowing trail with beautiful views of Cape Town.

Great trails, well maintained, good climbs and single-track, good relationship with the surrounding nature and conservation thereof!

The best entry level to expert trails both for family and friends

Great trail for all fitness levels, well marked & easy to navigate.

Tokai Mountain Bikers do an enormous amount of work in building, maintaining and upgrading the trails. Just a pity that our mountains are so rocky!!!

Very nice routes in very beautiful area. You'll have a 360 view of the cape peninsula including table mountain. There is no specific trailhead but you can park at Zevenwacht or Hazendal

Loved the trail, missed Ribbok. Love the views and challenge here and there.

This trail caters for all riders of various skill levels; It is my weekly goto trail and I have started out as a beginner on this trail 2 years ago. It can be access from a number of farms and have exit routes Kuilsriver to Stellenbosch and anywhere in between. New sections have been added recently and the trails are always maintained.

Something for everyone with the most amazing views. Technically challenged you and you will love every moment. Ps pack climbing legs

I am really surprised to find one of my favourite routes this far down the ranking. It IS a bit of an undiscovered, hidden gem. But once you have discovered the beauty of the Renosterveld-area with insane singletrack running through forests and along dams and vineyards, you will return weekly if you live in the area. They also offer (free) guided rides to introduce and familiarize riders with the different route options. In Winter these trails drains better than most of the surrounding trails as it has beach type soil. The trails run over working farms and have views of Table Mountain and all the Stellenbosch mountains. Use the Trailforks App to further familiarize yourself with the area/trails. I give it a solid 9/10.

The trails is well maintained, scenic and always evolving! Having a diversity of MTB terrains on a route + close to home is awesome to me!

Only started seriously cycling the Bottelary Trails this year, takes a while to get used to it all but once you get the hang of it all comes together. Beautiful scenery, smooth single tracks and solid climbs. Will give it a solid 8/10. The signs and maps on the trails do need some updating even though you can’t really get lost. All comes together very nicely, Hope this helps

Brilliant single tracks, well maintained lots of routes to choose from.

Brilliant single tracks,well maitained lots of routes to choose from.

Great network of trails with a good drainage system. Doing fantastic work conserving the environment and enriching the local community. Highly recommend

One of the Boland’s hidden gems. Pristine Renosterveld and views for days.

Well maintained trails that can be ridden by beginners. You can get some distance in as it takes some climbing to get to some of the single track. As a beginner I liked the fact that the single track was manageable and not too technical. Stunning views across the Peninsula and a fun place to ride. The riders here also seem more friendly than others I have encountered

Awesome trail for all round training

Huge expansion this year on all trails and massive variety for numerous fitness levels

Right on our doorstep and awesome variety

Great trails, within 5km from my house.

Amazing trails, well marked and maintained. Something for everyone, from beginner to more advanced. End-less trails and amazing views. Definitely my favorite trails in Stellenbosch.

This is some of the best trails around. The single tracks a awesome and well maintained. This is absolute value for money. The trail builders adds new sections of trails frequently. .The maintenance is tops.

Fantastic trails, beautiful scenery and easy to navigate. A big range of difficulty and skill level trails, you could take anyone from a complete beginner to an expert and give anyone a good time. There are so many entry and exit points that you can really just make what you like of it.
