Wynberg, Constantia Valley
Only 10 kilometres from the centre of Cape Town, Wynberg is high on visitors’ lists mainly because of the Old Wynberg Village, declared an urban conservation area and home to one of the biggest collections of historic properties in a declared conservation area in and around Cape Town, if not the country.
A lot of these historic cottages are now commercially owned and house galleries, picture framers and antique shops, but drive around the village of Wynberg, and the little streets delight with quaint cottages, tangled trees and bushes that create wonderful little havens away from the bustle of the city.
A number of walks with self-help guides and maps are available from the Muizenberg Cape Town Tourism offices that take one through the older parts of Wynberg, the old buildings, churches and parks.
Wynberg is close to the Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens, Rhodes Memorial and the Maynardville Park and Open Air theatre, where from December to February you can take in the annual Shakespeare production - picnic baskets and blankets a pre-requisite.
And one has very easy access from Wynberg to the city centre and to the beaches of False Bay.

I love Wynberg, especially the area around Maynardville. The shops and restaurants are chic and boutique! The open air theatre experience is great or you can just enjoy a picnic in the park! There is a fantastic new jungle gym for kiddies and it is often buzzing with families.

I love Wolf Street in Wynberg for it's interior shops. Definitely worth a visit if you like shopping for your home. It's so nice to walk from boutique to boutique, rather than spend a day in a mall and Chelsea Village is really charming. Maynardville is a great night out with a difference if you live in Cape Town - particularly enjoy Shakespeare in the park. Do yourself a favour and arrive early with a picnic basket and a group of friends.
