Gillooly’s Gardens: A Reimagined Oasis in Bedfordview

Bedfordview’s beloved Gillooly’s Farm is embarking on an exciting transformation, emerging as Gillooly’s Gardens. The revitalization aims to enhance the 44-hectare space, providing a safer and more inviting environment centered on nature, food, family, and community.

For over 80 years, this iconic landmark has been a haven for locals, and the new project is set to preserve its charm while introducing fresh attractions. A dedicated team with extensive experience in hospitality and cultural events is committed to maintaining the park's open space, ensuring it remains accessible and enjoyable for all.

A Culinary Focus with Gather

At the heart of the new initiative is the family-friendly restaurant Gather, curated by the well-known duo Coco & J. This restaurant promises a relaxed dining experience amidst the park's natural beauty, catering to families and friends looking to enjoy good food and hospitality.

Beyond the restaurant, Gillooly’s Gardens will feature the Good Stuff Market, alongside various community events and family activities. The park will continue to host its existing gardens, walking trails, and amphitheater, all while integrating live entertainment in the upcoming months.

Community and Sustainability at the Core

Gillooly’s Gardens is not merely a new commercial venture; rather, it embodies a commitment to restoration and long-term stewardship. The development will prioritize community connection and environmental sustainability, ensuring that the natural landscape remains central to the experience.

Coco & J, recognized for their contributions to food, lifestyle, and entertainment, expressed their vision: “We want to create a space that brings people together. A space that celebrates good food, good people, community, and connection. A space that feels like home.”

The broader team brings over 25 years of expertise in hospitality and live experiences, with plans for more projects in Cape Town in the coming years. As Gillooly’s Gardens prepares for its grand unveiling, residents can look forward to a revitalized space that celebrates the essence of community and nature.
