This tranquil garden was created in 1650 by the Dutch settlers who set up an aid station at the Cape and boasts the oldest pear tree in South Africa (1652). Come here for some peace and quiet and to feed the squirrels.

Grab a six pack from Roeland liquors, around the corner from the apartment, and head up here for a sundower with fantastic views of the city and Atlantic Ocean. (drive towards the cable car and go past it, find a spot, enjoy the view)
