Newlands is on the verdant eastern side of Table Mountain and has a genteel ambiance with its abundance of trees and rippling streams. Partly rural and partly a sophisticated extension of the Mother City, it’s virtually free of the South Easter wind and boasts Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens on its doorstep where the Liesbeek River originates. Visit Montebello Design Centre which has a craft shop, sculpture garden, studios, a restaurant and the first contemporary Bushman (San) Gallery. Enjoy walks in the forest, coffee bars and restaurants, elite designer shops, English pubs, international rugby and cricket sporting facilities as well as walking distance to Rhodes Memorial and the University of Cape Town.
