Visiting Cape Town - how about Gardens?

Gardens is a suburb which is part of Cape Town's famous City Bowl. A beautiful, leafy area with wonderful Table Mountain and sea views, within very easy walking distance of the city centre and the popular V&A Waterfront.

If you want to be close to everything, but in a more quiet environment, you can't go wrong with Gardens!

All Cape Accommodation has recently updated a selection of lovely, mostly Victorian, bed & breakfasts in Gardens, all well worth a visit for comfort and delicious breakfasts, in relaxed and informal surroundings.

The newest additions to the family are the following:

15 Welgemeend Street - a bed and breakfast with a beautiful vista of Table Mountain! 
This lovely bed & breakfast is nestled quite literally at the foot of Table Mountain, only minutes from the Cape Town city centre. It is also central to some of Cape Town's major attractions, including the V&A Waterfront, Table Mountain cable car, many shops, restaurants and lovely beaches.

And this is the view you get from the garden of Villa Zeezicht, another lovely bed & breakfast on the slopes of Table Mountain.
This beautiful bed & breakfast is a historic, gabled villa, situated in an upmarket area of Cape Town. The house is set in an attractive garden right at the foot of Table Mountain, with views of Lions Head and the sea. 

Situated just outside the Cape Town city center in a quiet and peaceful area, but within minutes of the V&A Waterfront, city centre shops and restaurants, and the cableway to the top of Table Mountain. The popular Clifton and Camps Bay beaches are just a short drive away.

So for your next trip to Cape Town, consider the Cape Town city bowl - be close to everything, but in a serene and green area!
