Newlands

The Gardeners Cottage Restaurant

Set your morning aside for The Gardener’s Cottage in Newlands, especially if a relaxed breakfast under the shade of ancient camphor trees sounds appealing. It's perfect for those mornings when eggs Benedict or a cheese omelette alongside a choice of breads just feels right, but do make sure to book ahead. Solo diners will find a pleasant nook, couples can have an intimate start to the day, and families—pets included—are warmly welcomed. While parking can be a test of patience on busier weekends, once you’re seated, you’ll likely feel it’s worth it.
