The Complete Newlands Home Painting Guide

Newlands is Cape Town's most famously lush suburb - the wettest residential area in Cape Town, thanks to its position directly against the Constantiaberg at the point where the mountain creates its most intense orographic rainfall effect. The suburb is defined by mature trees, the Newlands Forest, the famous cricket and rugby grounds, and streets of characterful older homes with generous gardens. Newlands sits between Rondebosch to the north, Claremont to the south, and the forested mountain slopes directly to the east. The combination of high rainfall, deep shade from the mature tree canopy and the mountain moisture creates the most active biological growth conditions of any residential suburb in Cape Town. This guide covers what Newlands homeowners need to know.

Cape Town's Wettest Suburb

Newlands receives significantly more rainfall than the Cape Town average. Anti-fungal products are non-negotiable here. See our rainfall and painting guide.

Mature Tree Canopy

Deep shade from Newlands' trees creates year-round biological growth on shaded walls. See our paint products guide.
