Kraaifontein

Geography

Strategically located at the gateway to the Cape Winelands, Kraaifontein is halfway between Cape Town (31 km) and Paarl (29 km) along the N1 highway and is flanked by Durbanville to the north-west and Brackenfell to the west. Kraaifontein, encompassing the areas of Bernardino Heights, Scottsdene, Scottsville, Wallacedene, Eikendal and Bloekombos, was once a separate municipality before the restructuring of all South African municipalities during the late '90s. These areas, however, are listed as separate suburbs by the City of Cape Town for planning and statistical purposes. Forming part of the City of Cape Town Metropolitan Municipality, it is located in its Subcouncil 2 Area, Bergdal. * Belmont Park *Bernadino Heights *Bloekombos *Bonnie Brae *Bonnie Brook *Buh-Rein Estate *Eikendal *Joostenberg Vlakte *Klein Begin *Kraaifontein Agricultural Holdings *Kraaifontein East *Kraaifontein Industrial *Langeberg Glen *Langeberg Heights *Langeberg Ridge *Peerless Park East *Peerless Park North *Peerless Park West *Scottsdene *Scottsville *Summerville *Uitzicht *Wallacedene *Windsor Park *Windsor Park Estate *Viking Village *Zoo Park
