Things to Do and Places to Visit in the Southern Suburbs:
What makes the Southern Suburbs special is how they sit in nature’s pocket – nestled between Table Mountain and False Bay. Tree-lined streets where historic Victorian homes sit comfortably next to modern apartments, and where every corner seems to have either a cozy café or a hidden gem of a restaurant. Here’s a friendly guide to some Southern Suburbs gems:
For Nature Lovers
- Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens is an absolute must-visit! Pack a picnic basket and catch one of their famous summer concerts on the lawn, or take a stroll on the “Boomslang” – a treetop walkway that gives you incredible views of the gardens and mountains. In spring, the protea gardens are simply spectacular.
- The Constantia Green Belt offers beautiful walking trails that wind through forests and alongside streams. Perfect for walking your dog, trail running, or just enjoying a peaceful morning walk. It’s a local favorite and much less touristy than other Cape Town hiking spots.
- Chart Farm in Wynberg is a hidden delight where you can pick your own roses and enjoy incredible city views from their cafe.
Food & Drink Adventures
- The Vineyard Hotel‘s garden is a gorgeous spot for afternoon tea – keep an eye out for the resident tortoise who often makes an appearance!
- Pop into Jonkershuis at Groot Constantia for traditional Cape Malay dishes with a view of the oldest wine cellar in South Africa. Their bobotie is legendary.
- The Gardener’s Cottage in Newlands Forest is a charming little breakfast spot hidden among the trees. Perfect after a morning walk.
- Don’t miss the Neighbourgoods Market at the Old Biscuit Mill in Woodstock (technically not Southern Suburbs but right on the edge!) – it’s a Saturday morning institution for foodies.
Historical Gems
- Take a walk through Groot Constantia, the oldest wine farm in South Africa. The history tour is fascinating, and yes, there’s wine tasting too!
- The Newlands Brewery offers tours that tell the story of Cape Town’s oldest beer brewery.
- Rhodes Memorial sits on the slopes of Devil’s Peak and offers spectacular views over the city. The restaurant there serves a mean breakfast.
For Families
- The Constantia Valley has several wine estates that are surprisingly kid-friendly. Eagles’ Nest has a great jungle gym, and Beau Constantia has space for kids to run around while parents enjoy wine tasting.
- Green Point Park isn’t technically in the Southern Suburbs, but it’s worth the short drive – it has an amazing outdoor gym, kids’ play areas, and picnic spots.
- Science Centre in Observatory (again, just on the edge) is perfect for curious minds of all ages.

Southern Suburbs Removals: Frequently Asked Questions
Which areas of the Southern Suburbs do you cover?
We move households across the whole Southern Suburbs, from Claremont, Newlands and Rondebosch to Constantia, Wynberg, Kenilworth and Tokai. See our local Claremont movers page for area detail.
Our teams know the area’s quirks — the narrow lanes off Main Road, the leafy estate driveways in Constantia, and the walk-ups near the university belt. Because we work here every week, we can plan around school-run traffic, body-corporate rules and lift bookings without any fuss. If your street or complex has tight parking, just let us know and we’ll match the truck size and crew to suit. Wherever you are between the mountain and the railway line, we’ve almost certainly moved someone on your road before.
How much does a move in the Southern Suburbs cost?
A local 2-bedroom move within the Southern Suburbs starts at around R3 150, depending on volume, access and your dates. For a small load, a mini removal is often more affordable.
The biggest things that shift the price are how much you’re taking, how easy it is to reach your front door, and whether you’re moving over a weekend or at month-end — the busiest, priciest slots. Stairs, long carries and lift-only buildings all add time, so flagging them upfront keeps your quote accurate with no surprises on the day. Mid-week, mid-month moves are usually the kindest on the wallet. We’re happy to walk you through a written quote line by line so you can see exactly what you’re paying for.
Do you handle small or part-load moves?
Yes. If you’re moving just a few items or a single room, our mini removals service lets you pay for the space you use instead of a whole truck.
It’s ideal for students moving in and out of the Rondebosch and Rosebank digs, a single bedroom suite, or that one couch that simply won’t fit in a hatchback. You share the truck space — and the cost — rather than paying for a whole vehicle to run half-empty. We still wrap and secure everything the same way we would on a full house move: small load, same care. Tell us roughly what you’re moving and we’ll let you know if a mini removal is the smarter option for you.
Can you move me from the Southern Suburbs to another city or province?
We can. Our long-distance removals run regularly between Cape Town and Johannesburg, Durban and beyond, on a shared-load basis to keep costs down.
On a shared load your furniture travels alongside other consignments heading the same way, so you only pay for the space you use rather than an entire long-haul truck. We give you a collection window and an estimated delivery window upfront, and keep you posted along the route. Everything is wrapped and inventoried before it leaves, so it arrives in the same condition it left. If your dates are flexible, shared-load timing usually works out even friendlier on price.
Is my furniture insured during the move?
Goods-in-transit cover is included on every move, and additional moving insurance is available for extra peace of mind on higher-value items.
Goods-in-transit protects your belongings while they’re on our truck between addresses. For antiques, artwork or anything with real sentimental or replacement value, all-risk cover extends that protection further — well worth considering for the pieces you’d hate to be without. We’ll happily talk you through what each option does and doesn’t cover so there’s no grey area. It’s your move; we just make sure you can relax while it happens.
Do you supply boxes and packing materials?
Yes — we can deliver boxes and packing materials before your move, or pack everything for you if you’d prefer a hands-off move.
We stock proper moving boxes, bubble wrap, packing paper and tape, so you’re not scrounging supermarket boxes the night before. Order them ahead and pack at your own pace, or book our team to pack the whole home — kitchens and fragile items included — in a fraction of the time. Good boxes and the right wrapping are honestly the difference between things arriving intact and arriving in pieces. Not sure how much you’ll need? Tell us your home size and we’ll suggest a sensible quantity.
Do you move offices and businesses in the Southern Suburbs?
We do. Our office removals team handles commercial moves around Claremont, Newlands and the wider business belt with minimal downtime.
We know an office move is really about getting your team back up and running quickly, so we plan around your quietest hours — after close, over a weekend, or whatever keeps disruption to a minimum. Desks, workstations, server gear and filing all get labelled and mapped to the new floor plan so nothing lands in the wrong room. We can move you in phases if you’d rather keep trading while you relocate. Give us a walk-through of your space and we’ll build a plan that fits your operating hours.
Can you move large Constantia and Bishopscourt homes?
Absolutely. Larger estate homes are moved with extra crew and proper protection for furniture and artwork. We also offer secure storage if your move-out and move-in dates don’t line up.
Bigger homes usually mean more delicate pieces — pianos, glass cabinets, oversized artwork and outdoor furniture — so we bring extra hands and the right materials to protect them. Long estate driveways and security-estate access are all part of the plan; we’ll arrange gate bookings and access clearance beforehand. If there’s a gap between homes, your things can wait safely in storage until you’re ready. Nothing about a large move needs to feel overwhelming when it’s properly planned.
Do you offer storage if my move-in date is delayed?
Yes. Secure short- and long-term storage is available whenever there’s a gap between moving out and moving in.
Property transfers and lease dates don’t always line up neatly, and that’s completely normal — your furniture simply stays with us in the meantime. Everything is inventoried on the way in, kept in a secure facility, and delivered to your new place when you’re ready. You can store for a few days or a few months; there’s no long lock-in. Ask us for a storage quote alongside your move and we’ll price the whole journey in one go.
How do I get a quote for my Southern Suburbs move?
It’s quick and free. Contact our team with your pickup and drop-off addresses and a rough furniture list, and we’ll send an obligation-free estimate.
The more detail you can share — number of rooms, any big or fragile items, stairs or awkward access — the sharper and more accurate your quote will be. There’s no obligation and no pressure; plenty of people gather a couple of quotes before deciding, and we’re glad to be one of them. Prefer to chat it through? A quick call or WhatsApp often sorts it faster than a form. However you reach us, we’ll get you a clear, honest figure so you can plan your move with confidence.
