Directly translated from dutch it's Sugar Bush Fountain and its one of the awesome places I have been to these holidays.
The Sugar Bush is the colloquial name for members of the Protea family of trees.
The name is derived from the fact that Proteas often produce large quantities of nectar in their large flamboyant flowers.
This pic below gives a view of the spreading tree/bush like structure with its dark bark, long stiff leaves and large flowers

Aside from birds and bees, even ants frequent these flowers for their nectar. These large ants are half an inch long.

...at Suikerboschfontein the Proteas are encountered in large thickets found on certain slopes facing certain directions. This is where the micro-climate created by the slope aspect is most ideal for them to flourish.
