Vanessa Wium
Rondebosch is best known for its history as the place where the first Dutch settlers were given land to farm along the banks of the Liesbeek river. The historic beauty of the Cape Dutch style homes and buildings and tree lined streets adds to its old world charm.
When the weather's good, I like to walk, cycle or run in the mountains above Rhodes Memorial or picnic in the parks while watching the squirrels collect acorns. When the weather’s bad, I like to go see a show at the Baxter Theatre. To relax and restore my soul, I like to potter around the craft markets and Pottery Markets held on Saturdays in Rondebosch Park.
Sandown Lodge is central and safe, located directly opposite Rondebosch Park. Newlands Cricket and Rugby Stadiums and the University of Cape Town are within walking distance. The Jamie shuttle bus to and from UCT has a pick up point outside our Lodge. For holiday makers, popular tourist attractions including Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens, Cavendish Square, Restaurants and the Baxter Theatre are a mere 10 minutes drive away. For business persons and academics, Groote Schuur Hospital, the centre of town and the International Convention Centre are 10 to 15 minutes drive away.
