Our read

Newlands is the 162-room hotel at 7 Main Road, beside the cricket ground and a short way from Kirstenbosch. The beach is a drive. Come if the southern suburbs are the Cape Town you want. Skip it if you needed the Waterfront at the door.

Come here for

  • Kirstenbosch and the Newlands grounds, as the page places them
  • Bihari for North Indian food
  • A 25-metre heated pool, which the page also describes as a short walk

Skip it if

  • You wanted the V&A outside. That is a different Cape Town hotel.
  • You assumed the pool is outside the room. The page also says the 25-metre pool is a short walk away.

We’d rather send you somewhere else than send you somewhere that doesn’t suit you.

Southern Sun Newlands is at 7 Main Road in Newlands. The page counts 162 rooms, from standard rooms to suites, and places the hotel near Kirstenbosch, Newlands Forest, and the rugby and cricket grounds, about 10 minutes from the city centre. Bihari is the Indian restaurant. Newlands Cafe is the all-day room. The page describes a 25-metre outdoor heated pool, and also says guests have complimentary access to a gym and a 25-metre pool a short walk away. Nine venues hold up to 160 people. Parking is complimentary, covered and open. Breakfast is included only on a bed-and-breakfast rate. The beach is a drive. The phone is +27 21 683 6562. This is not Strand Street and it is not the Waterfront. The reason to stay here is the ground and the garden, not the sand. Ask where the pool actually is before you treat it as outside your room. The page does not print a fixed nightly rate. Reserve with the hotel. MindReach does not take the booking.
