The read
- What it feels like
- Gardens sits right below Table Mountain with Kloof Street as its spine. Good restaurants, easy access to hiking trails, and a central location. It's where you stay if you want to be close to everything.
- Who is around
- Young professionals, tourists heading up Table Mountain, and Kloof Street regulars cycling between restaurants.
- On foot
- Hilly but walkable. The Company's Garden and Kloof Street restaurant strip are the main anchors, connected by a 10-minute uphill walk.
- After dark
- Kloof Street has a concentration of restaurants, cocktail bars, and late-night spots that make it one of Cape Town's main evening destinations. Well-lit and busy.
