Kirstenbosch, Newlands and the Southern
Suburbs hotels are the perfect accommodation choice for
sports and nature lovers. Newlands, in
the heart of the leafy Southern Suburbs, is home to two of the world’s
most famous cricket and rugby stadiums
that have seen South Africa's sports teams perform their greatest triumphs
- and disasters!
Either way, South African fans are a patriotic bunch and
if you stay in the Southern Suburbs and visit a nearby pub,
their enthusiasm, and the taste of South African beer, will grow on you.
For serious beer enthusiasts, South African Breweries are
also situated in Newlands and they offer regular tours around the premises.
The more refined visitor can enjoy afternoon teas at Rhodes Memorial
on the slopes of Devil’s Peak, while
admiring the traditional beauty and splendour of the adjacent University
of Cape Town campus. If you're staying in any one of the Kirstenbosch
Hotels, a good idea is to pack a picnic basket and head to the Kirstenbosch
Botanical Gardens where the kids can run wild on the spacious lawns. |
