Kelvin Holmwood
A spacious “home away from home” in leafy Upper Newlands with great indoor and outdoor facilities allowing guests to comfortably keep to themselves, or if wanting some company, to have some fun with other guests. Located on the slopes of Table Mountain in a safe and quiet neighbourhood just up the road from Forrester’s Arms (Forries,) a must visit local pub & restaurant. Within easy walking distance to Newlands Forest, University of Cape Town, several top restaurants and Newlands Cricket & Rugby Stadiums. Central location. A 5 minute drive to Kirstenbosch Gardens and upmarket shopping at Cavendish Square; 15 minutes to the City, V&A Waterfront, Table Mountain and CT International; 20 – 30 minutes to False Bay, Hout Bay and the Atlantic Seaboard. Breakfast is included.
