Exotic Animal World - Prime Eco-Tourism Destination with Expansion Potential
Where wildlife meets wonder, and opportunity meets location.
Since 1996, Exotic Animal World—formerly known as Butterfly World—has enchanted generations with its jungle-like walk-through greenhouse filled with birds, lemurs, reptiles, and more. Spanning over 17,000 m² at the strategic intersection of the N1 and R44, this property is more than a tourist attraction; it’s a living legacy and a commercial opportunity rolled into one. Currently zoned “Open Space II,” the site is ideal for eco-tourism, conservation, outdoor entertainment, and educational ventures. Investors seeking even greater potential will be pleased to know that a rezoning application could unlock mixed-use, hospitality, or boutique residential development possibilities—subject to municipal approval.
The existing infrastructure supports a diversified revenue model: a fully equipped restaurant with a liquor license, 14 guest toilets, educational lapa for workshops and events, a reptile and animal care centre, office and retail space, and multiple storerooms.
• Greenhouse - approximately 1,100 m²
• Main building - approximately 640 m²
• Animal Care Centre - approximately 240 m²
The lush, tropical grounds are sustained by three boreholes, rainwater tanks, and a rented solar system (GoSolar) that covers 70–80% of energy needs. Eskom three-phase electricity and a private sewer system ensure off-grid resilience, while a natural stream flowing through the property adds a tranquil backdrop for visitors and future developments.
Positioned within a thriving tourism and residential corridor—minutes from the Heineken plant, Medicenter Paarl, Val de Vie, and the soon-to-be Winelands International Airport—this is one of the last true eco-commercial gems in the region. Two purchasing options offer flexibility: either acquire the land and buildings (VAT applicable) or purchase the going concern (potential zero-rated VAT).
Whether you want to preserve its legacy or take it in a bold new direction, Exotic Animal World is ready for its next chapter—and yours.
