This beautiful cottage is tucked away in leafy Newlands, with its beautiful old-world Burmese teak windows/doors, oak floors on top and checker tiles downstairs. Great Coffee machine, Gas stove, uninterrupted Wifi, flat screen TV, awesome Fireplace for winter & Roof Fan for summer. Lovely private outside patio area and secure garage. It is truly a sanctuary for many of our guests: easy to live in, not too overwhelming and so perfect, that you'll totally fall in love and will be sad to leave ;-) The space Sparkling clean and fresh. White walls, neat space and relaxing area. Comfy and cosy, yet spacious. Split level, so bedroom on top; living area, kitchen and bathroom at the bottom. Guest access It is a lovely private and safe space. Secure garage to park your car. Other things to note TV is a smart TV, so you'll need your own Netflix, Disney or Prime account. In terms of restaurants: I can recommend Forrester Arms Pub - one of the oldest pubs in Cape Town, about 8 minutes walking distance from us. Dean street (7 minutes walking) also have really nice restaurants: a Greek, a Thai, a Korean (at the bottom in Main road), a Chinese, 2x coffee places, 2x ice cream places, a cocktail bar, a steakhouse, a woolies and a pharmacy. And then there is always Uber Eats.

I’m a marketer, renovator, wife and mom of three teenagers. My husband and I met almost 30 years ago in London ;-), have traveled a fair bit in our youth, lived in Johannesburg for 14 years and moved back to Cape Town in 2015. We absolutely love being here and feel that this is where we want to grow old. Looking forward to meeting you, and we hope you will enjoy Cape Town as much as we do.

Newlands is a wonderful family friendly, active and safe neighbourhood. You’ll always find runners running up and down Newlands avenue and dog loving neighbours, walking their dogs in the streets. Newlands forest is walking/running distance from the house, and you can go for afternoon walks in the forest, hike to the block house, or mountain bike on the many Table Mountain routes. The area is near to some of the greatest Cape Town schools including South African College Schools (SACS), Westerford High School, Rustenburg Girls Schools, The Grove Primary School, with Herschel Girls School, Bishops and Rondebosch Boys Schools also not too far away either. Newlands Cricket Ground, Newlands Rugby Stadium and SAB Newlands Brewery are also well-known attractions. Even though our kitchen is fully kitted out, you don’t need to make your own food if you don’t feel like it, as we have fantastic restaurants in our area. The famous Forrester’s Arms pub is a great for family dining, but you could also walk to Dean Street to The Creamery (ice cream parlour), Patina (French cuisine), Furleys (family steakhouse), Harvest Café (healthy wraps and juices), Vida Cafe (great coffee), Tai Ping Chinese Restaurant or Thaiyashi (both Asian cuisine) and Bootleggers. A bit further on in Newlands on the corner of Main street and Kildare Road, you’ll find more great eating and coffee places like Barristers Grill (my personal favourite), Italo's Deli and Hans & Lloyd Coffee Co. (both have great coffee), Kirsten's Kick-Ass Ice Cream, Basilico and Café du Cap. Lastly, the nearest shopping centre is the beloved Cavendish Mall which is 1.3 km away.
