About Reading House

Built in 1896 by Sir Herbert Baker, this unique heritage Guest House is situated in a quiet street in the beautiful suburb of Newlands, Cape Town. With dramatic views of Table Mountain, Newlands has the highest rainfall in South Africa and so provides a lush environment with large trees and green lawns.

Within a 5 minute walk from the Newlands Cricket and Rugby Stadiums, shopping centers and quick access to the main roads, Reading House is the ideal location for the leisure traveller and business executive who needs convenience and a secure environment.

Let Reading House be your accommodation of choice.
