DHL Newlands (Closed) is a stadium on Boundary Road in Newlands, the wettest and greenest suburb of the Southern Suburbs, about twenty minutes south of the city centre under the eastern buttress of Table Mountain. The stadium stood for over a century and was long the home of rugby in this part of the city; with it closed, the landmark remains a familiar pin on the map for visitors booking rooms in the streets around it. The suburb itself is why people stay: oaks planted more than a century ago along Dean Street, Palmboom Road and Newlands Avenue, forest trails up the back of Table Mountain, and a brewery on Boundary Road scenting the air. It is residential to its bones, so guests come for gardens, quiet and the mountain rather than late-night streets. Newlands Forest starts a five-minute drive up the M3, Kirstenbosch is ten minutes up Rhodes Drive, and Rondebosch and Claremont supply the supermarkets, cinemas and pharmacies the suburb does not build. Hikers, cricket people and families with small children fit the place best.
