The Company’s Garden is situated in Queen Victoria Street, at the top of Adderley Street, and adjacent to the South African Parliament. It takes its name from the Dutch East India Company who first started the garden in 1652 for the victualing of their ships that plied the spice trade route between Europe and the East Indies, via The Cape of Good Hope. The Company’s Garden is abutted by numerous important landmarks, including the lodge house for the slaves who built large parts of the historic city, the present day Houses of Parliament, the Iziko South African Museum and Planetarium, St George's Cathedral (which is the seat of the Anglican church in South Africa), the National Library of Sou

Steampunk is the theme here, and it touches every element of the space. The restaurant is built around Colossus, a working, vintage Probat coffee roaster. Quirky metal machinery is found at every turn, and staff are dressed to the nines in Victorian-style ensembles, complete with top hats, tails and covetable leather accessories. This coffee shop has been voted the best in the world. YES, the World! So a visit is a must when you are visiting Cape Town. The food is amazing as well and don’t forget to bring your camera. It is an amateur photographer’s dream!

Sightseeing

A visit to Cape Town would be incomplete without a trip up the famous Table Mountain which reaches a height of 1085m at its highest point and had a broad flat surface allowing it to appear as a 'table' from certain angles, inspiring its name. The glorious views over the Mother City starts the minute you step into the state of the art cableway (one of only three in the world). The floor of the 65 passenger cablecar rotates 360 degrees on the ascent/descent which takes 5-10 minutes to reach the summit/base travelling at a speed of up to 10m per second. Undeniably the best views over the Cape are to be taken in from this natural landmark mountain which allows all parts of Cape Town to be seen
