The residential suburb of Goodwood lies between the northern and southern suburbs of Cape Town, 10 kilometers from Cape Town’s city centre. Named after the famous British racetrack, as the area was initially used for horse racing, Goodwood includes Tygerdal, Vrizjee, Goodwood Park, Goodwood West and Glenwood.

Goodwood has become popular since the opening of the Grand West Casino, right on its doorstep and the suburb is conveniently located to explore the surrounding Cape Peninsula, with easy access to the N1, N2 and N7 highways.

Goodwood is ideal to use as a base from which to explore the West Coast, accessed from the N7. This area is well known for bird watching and the migrating seasonal whales and popular destinations include Darling, home to Pieter Dirk Uys’s theatre. Darling lies within the Cape West Coast Biosphere reserve and the Darling Wildflower Show takes place annually in September. While you’re there, visit Darling Cellars. Goodwood is also close to the wineland regions of Stellenbosch, Paarl, Wellington, Franschhoek and Pniel.
