Gardens is one of Cape Town’s most vibrant and well-connected neighbourhoods – ideal for digital nomads who want the perfect blend of work and lifestyle. With its central location, creative energy, reliable Wi-Fi, and easy access to co-working cafés, gyms, galleries, and public transport, it’s a flexible base that keeps you close to everything that matters. Plus, you’re just minutes from Table Mountain, the city centre, and Cape Town’s cultural heartbeat.
Gardens is a diverse area with a mix of residential and commercial properties. While many parts are safe, especially during the day, some edges of the neighbourhood can be less secure.
Walking around Gardens during daylight hours is generally safe. However, it's advisable to remain vigilant and be aware of your surroundings.
At night, it's recommended to avoid walking alone and to stay in well-lit areas. Utilising rideshare services like Uber can enhance safety when travelling after dark.

The MyCiTi bus is Cape Town’s official Integrated Rapid Transit (IRT) system, offering safe, reliable, and affordable transport. Gardens is served by routes 101 and 103, linking to the Civic Centre and Vredehoek.
Services like Uber and Bolt are widely available and offer a convenient and safe mode of transport, especially during evenings or in areas less served by public transport.
The Golden Arrow bus service covers extensive routes across Cape Town, including areas not served by MyCiTi. While more affordable, they may not offer the same level of comfort and reliability.
Neighbourhoods like Gardens are pedestrian-friendly, with scenic routes and dedicated cycling paths, especially along the Sea Point Promenade.
For greater flexibility, especially when exploring areas outside the city centre, renting a car is a viable option. Numerous rental agencies operate in Cape Town, catering to various budgets and preferences.
