The neighbourhood is called 'Gardens' and it derives it's name from the 'Company Gardens' when Cape Town was a British Colony and provided vegetables and trade to passing ships. There is a wonderful park just two blocks up called De Waal, which is perfect for guests with young children. The property is situated near Kloof Street, Cape Town Medi Clinic. This home is very central and within easy walking distance of a MyCiti bus stop, Kloof Street, Manna Epicure, Cafe Paradiso, the German butcher etc.
If you’re looking for quiet seclusion in a charming setting then this cottage is the perfect choice for a Cape Town escape that is still close to the heart of the city.
