    Everything was spot on. Rooms were spacious, clean, and stocked with the essentials required. Beds were comfy and well made. Shower pressure was fantastic. Staff were welcoming. Overall, nothing more you could have asked for. Also perfect location...

    The location is excellent - in the middle of Newlands and particularly good if you like cricket! Staff were extremely helpful and friendly. It's great to have a pool. Secure convenient parking.

Our passion is supplying guests with comfortable accommodation where they can enjoy their stay. The staff at the property are all trained to ensure this.
Newlands is an upmarket suburb of Cape Town, South Africa. It is located at the foot of Table Mountain in the Southern Suburbs of Cape Town, and is the wettest suburb in South Africa due to its high winter rainfall.[2] It is home to a number of schools, including the oldest school in the country, South African College Schools (SACS) Junior and High Schools as well as Groote Schuur High School and Sans Souci Girls' High School. The neighborhood is also the location of a number of notable parks such as Newlands Forest and Kirstenbosch National Botanical Gardens. It is best known for Newlands Cricket Ground and Newlands Stadium, a rugby union and football venue. It is also the original home of Ohlsson's Cape Breweries, which is still located next to the rugby grounds. The original Ohlsson's Anneberg Brewery site is now location of the SACS schoolgrounds. The only remainder of the original brewery is the Josephine Mill, which used a water wheel to grind the grain for the brewery. This is now a historic monument. The pipeline from the Table Mountain spring which supplies the Newlands Brewery runs under the historic Cardiff Castle Building which is located in Newlands Village.
