About Newlands Forest:
Newlands Forest is well loved by locals. This green, peaceful space in Cape Town is all that remains of former dense, indigenous forest covering much of the eastern slopes of Table Mountain. Back then the forest served as part of the migratory path of the Khoisan people. Today it’s where people meet to walk their dogs, stroll or trail run the myriad paths on the mountainside.
From its majestic Josephine Mill Museum and Brewery Tours that take you back in time, to its trendy Dean Street corridor, Newlands will satisfy anyone from hipsters to history buffs.
Although it’s tucked away in a quiet pocket between Rondebosch and Claremont, the largely-residential suburb of Newlands in Cape Town, is hardly sleepy. Newlands is famous for many things besides its quaint Victorian cottages and winding back lanes: renowned sports stadia, landmark hotels, excellent restaurants, superlative schools such as SACS and Westerford, gourmet food shops, significant national monuments, a design centre, and a natural spring.
Here are some of the not-to-be-missed aspects of Newlands:
The Montebello Design Centre on Newlands Avenue is another must-visit destination for lovers of creativity. This collection of painters’ studios, potter’s workshops and craft shops – huddled together in a fine example of period architecture - is a beacon for devotees of art, craft and design. The charming Gardener’s Cottage restaurant hunkers down below giant trees and overlooks a verdant nursery that spreads out around a historic Greenhouse.
The Cricket Stadium:
As for sport, why watch on the big screen when you can see your team play live at Newlands Cricket Stadium? The PPC Newlands Cricket Stadium is said to have the loveliest batting pitch in the world, thanks to the majestic backdrop of Newlands Ravine and Kirstenbosch.
The Newlands Brewery:
One of the oldest commercial beer breweries in South Africa. Take a tour through all things malt and hops. Compare old favourites with new-fangled craft brews.
The Josephine Mill Museum is open to visitors by appointment, but you don’t need to go inside the museum to appreciate the building. Astonishing for its industrial revolution architecture and a water wheel that still functions, the on-site restaurant is set on the banks of the gently burbling Liesbeek River.
The artisanal ice-cream parlours:
A mecca for foodies, Newlands can brag that is has not one but four artisanal ice-cream parlours. The Creamery’, Gelato Mania , Le Delizie, Kirsten's Kick-ass Ice Cream.
Dean Street and surrounds are peppered with a score of upmarket eateries and a trendy smattering of smoothie bars and the Botanical Gin bar!
