At 7 Main Road, Newlands, Southern Sun Newlands sits at the foot of Table Mountain in one of Cape Town's leafier suburbs — wettest postcode in South Africa, in fact, courtesy of orographic winter rainfall — and within walking distance of Newlands Rugby Stadium and the Vineyard precinct. The hotel runs nine adaptable conference and event venues with capacity to 160 delegates; the Protea 1 and Protea 2 rooms anchor the offering at around 80 and 60 cinema respectively. The 4.4-star property includes 162 rooms, an on-site restaurant and parking, and trades on the Newlands setting — Kirstenbosch botanical garden, Constantia wine estates and the Cape Town CBD are each under 15 minutes away. As part of Tsogo Sun Hotels, the venue is wired into the group's frequent-guest programme and conference-and-stay packages — both useful when sourcing larger national events that combine multiple Tsogo properties.
