The beautiful suburb of Newlands in the southern suburbs of Cape Town is bordered by the Kirstenbosch National Botanical Gardens, and the University of Cape Town, which stretches up to the slopes of Table Mountain.
Newlands is often frequented by sports fans attending international sporting events at the rugby and cricket stadiums in the suburb. It is also home to big business; the SABMiller Newlands Brewery and the internationally famous Sports Science Institute are located here.

They are usually well situated with shops and places of interest nearby.
