Kirstenhof
The city of Cape Town is known for its elegant laidback ambience and stunning natural beauty. This is very much epitomised in the suburb of Kirstenhof found in the Southern Suburbs of the city. Kirstenhof is dripping in greenery and boasts a peaceful atmosphere; the streets are lined with trees and the views of Constantiaberg Mountain as well as Castle Rock are nothing short of majestic. Tucked away in the south of the southern suburbs, Kirstenhof is away from any congestion and crowds that some of the other areas in Cape Town are afflicted by. Additionally, the suburb is home to many convenient amenities such schools, a post office, police station, and shops. The pleasant Blue Route shopping centre is a mere 5 minutes away from Kirstenhof and is home to a few of the big chain stores, a cinema complex, fast food outlets, and other amenities.
While Kirstenhof provides refuge away from any noise pollution, it also boasts a very convenient geographic location with many of Cape Town’s top attractions in easy reach. The major M3 highway is not far from Kirstenhof and this takes travellers through suburbs such as Constantia, Bishop’s Court, Wynberg, and Newlands as well as past the University of Cape Town and Newlands Rugby and Cricket Stadiums en route to the inner city centre. The likes of the Constantia Wine Route, Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens, and Westlake Golf Course are all within reasonable distance, while the magnificent beaches of False Bay are literally minutes away with Muizenberg and St. James being the closest. Kirstenhof’s natural beauty coupled with its fantastic location makes it one of Cape Town’s loveliest residential enclaves.
