About About the place

Company's Gardens is a historic green space located in the heart of Cape Town, providing a peaceful retreat from the city's energy. Originally established as a vegetable garden for the Dutch East India Company in the 17th century, it has evolved into a beautifully maintained public garden featuring a diverse collection of plants, including ancient trees. The gardens are a popular destination for locals and tourists alike, offering a space for relaxation, picnics, and leisurely strolls. Surrounded by significant landmarks such as Parliament and various museums, it blends natural beauty with historical and cultural significance. A café provides refreshments, and the gardens are known for their remarkably tame squirrel population.

This was a beautiful park which has pretty scenery and lush greenery. It has walking pathways with proper trails lined with pretty trees and there are also plenty of benches to sit there for the people. The musical fountain was the highlight and it was amazing.

It is a great place to stay and gives you much luxury and comfort at a great price. The service is great and the management was very prompt and was very helpful and assisted us with everything. The rooms were big and spacious, well maintained and the views from the window of the city skyline was just stunning. Loved my experience here!. This park is amazing and has beautiful scenery. It is a perfect spot to take a good walk or even go for a run. There is a dedicated trail, well managed in the park. The trees by the trail are just beautiful and provide a lot of good air. There are also benches in the park where you can sit and relax.

This city is so beautiful and has so many ancient buildings that to witness its real beauty, you need to go for a free walking tour which covers all the iconic places and its history is told by the guide. You can check out the cute little cafes along the way and enjoy the street food. Little tip - wear comfortable shoes.

It is the most beautiful building I witnessed which is architecturally detailed. The building structure was royal and the building exhibits a regal vibe to it. Visiting this place was an amazing experience and the place is truly a stunning place.
