Situated in Newlands/Rondebosch on the corner of Keurboom and Palmyra roads, Abbadale B and B occupies a gracious double-storeyed house which was built in 1904 for the secretary to Cecil John Rhodes. Our physical address is 1 Keurboom Road, Newlands (GPS: use Rondebosch. Co-ordinates S33.9721 E18.4733)
The high ceilings, wooden floors and shuttered cottage windows are typical of the architecture of the time. The rooms are large, bright and airy with views of the mountain, pool or garden. Oak trees dominate the large grounds, and there is plenty of secure parking. Squirrels and birds add their charm to this restful Cape garden.
Yet Abbadale is literally only a stone's throw from Kelvin Grove Club (120 paces) and Newlands cricket and rugby grounds, and very close to the schools, clubs, hospitals and businesses of the bustling Claremont and Rondebosch shopping centres. Major routes lead to the airport (15 minutes), the City (10 minutes), the coast and the Boland and wine routes.
