Assegaaibosch Nature Reserve, Nature reserve in Jonkershoek Valley, South Africa.

The 204-hectare reserve extends along the Eerste River at the northeastern slope of Stellenbosch Mountain within the Boland Mountain Complex.

The land became a settlement area in 1692 when Simon van der Stel granted it to settlers, leading to agricultural development in the valley.

The Cape Dutch homestead from 1792 and the trout hatchery building from 1893 reflect the architectural and industrial heritage of Western Cape.

The reserve allows 60 visitors per day to access the picnic areas, requiring early arrival as no advance bookings are accepted.

Numerous oak trees planted by Wouter Eduard Wium in 1817 remain standing near the homestead, creating a distinct landscape within the reserve.

Location: Western Cape

Part of: Boland Mountain Complex
