Area Guide
Observatory
This residential area is named after the SA Astronomical Observatory and lies east of the city centre between the Liesbeeck and Black Rivers. The area is very close to UCT and as a result there are lots of students who choose to live in the neighbourhood. There's also a healthy population of backpackers and young professionals in the area.
The area has many cafés, pubs and live music venues making it a popular spot foe a night out. Our properties in Observatory are relatively close to Main Road and the station, making it easy to catch public transport if you don't plan to have a car. The bars and shops are also walking distance.

Gardens
Gardens is an inner-city suburb of Cape Town located just to the south of the city centre. It's located in the Cty Bowl, directly beneath Table Mountain. It is an affluent neighbourhood populated mostly by young professionals and contains numerous chic restaurants, trendy bars and shops.
Being located here puts you in cab distance of the best night life that the city has to offer but if you don't have a car it's not as conveniently located as Observatory with regards to public transport.
