Southern Suburbs

For the most part, the Southern Suburbs lie at the base of Table Mountain National Park, a mountainous backbone that stretches all the way from Signal Hill to Cape Point, creating an impressive backdrop that infuses the southern suburbs with a natural leafiness, in most part due to the frequent blanket of clouds that tend to hang over the mountains, and relative shelter from the wind.

The southern suburbs are predominantly residential, and most of them incredibly pretty with a variety of older-style homes that range from cottage-style semis in Mowbray, Claremont and Wynberg, to more ornate and certainly far larger homes in Constantia, Newlands and Bishopscourt.

Extensive gardens, shopping areas, the cosmopolitan high street of Observatory, and attractions like Kirstenbosch Gardens, Mostert’s Mill, the Baxter Theatre and the Irma Stern Museum, make this part of Cape Town rather attractive.

It is also the home of the University of Cape Town, an array of prestigious private and public schools with some of the best sporting facilities and clubs. You will also find popular private and government medical facilities available, making it a desirable location for young families and students alike.

The Southern Suburbs areas are made up of Westlake, Kirstenhof, Steenberg, Tokai, Constantia, Kreupelbosch, Retreat, Heathfield, Southfield, Diep River, Bergvliet, Plumstead, Grassy Park, Lotus River, Ndabeni, Wynberg, Meadowridge, Bishopscourt, Claremont, Kenilworth, Harfield Village, Kenwyn, Wetton, Lansdowne, Newlands, Rondebosch, Rondebosch East, Rosebank, Mowbray, and Observatory
