As a child I used to come here a lot with my mum. It has been revamped recently. Still lovely to sit amongst the trees and nature so close to the penthouse. Don't forget to get some pea nuts to feed the squirrels.

Drinks & Nightlife

Well, it is really a Saloon. I Love this place! One of my favourite hidden places in Cape Town. I love the music and the locals. Depending on the day and the person walking in, it could be a bit intimidating but soon you will find it to be the friendliest place in town. The coldest beers in the Cape. Candle lit every night apart from Mondays when it is closed. The local water hole dressed as a timeless Western Saloon with swinging doors and all. Wayne, the owner and bar man is a busy funny friend of mine. Please let him know I recommended it. He might be kinder to me next time. :)

Nothing really beats a cocktail at this very graceful Planet Bar! The famous Mount Nelson Hotel has the most exquisite garden to walk through. A definite favourite.

Arts & Culture

This is very upsetting. This area used to be inhabited by people and they have been evacuated and killed and bulldozed out of their community. Whole areas of perfectly fine Victorian architecture were bulldozed. The documented pictures or the people and the place which is now mainly vacant can be found here.

This was the park that I sometimes skipped school to go to. Eeeek. Did i just say that? Anyway, It is stunning to sit by the stream or walk a bit further up the stream to take a good look up the mountain. It is above the houses on the edge of Table Mountain.

Shopping

A small mall. It is a small enough mall not to get lost in to simply get your groceries done and move along. Well, of course there is also the temptation to shop shop shop. :)
