Brackenfell, Western Cape

Brackenfell at a glance

Not too long ago it was little more than a sleepy suburban town. Today Brackenfell is booming, and fast becoming one of the most desirable addresses in the Northern Suburbs of Cape Town.

The area has seen rapid development and strategic expansion in recent years. From new residential areas to large shopping centres, improved road infrastructure and a thriving business centre, Brackenfell is today a fully self-sustained neighbourhood.

With a great variety of properties available within its borders, Brackenfell is the ideal location for young families and those looking to downscale. Both the primary and high schools in Brackenfell enjoy very favourable reputations, with a vibrant sense of community associated to the various institutions.

Brackenfell today – thanks to the organic way that the town has grown – borders the Bottelary Road, a scenic municipal road that a number of wine estates and entertainment venues lead from. The Bottelary Hills mountain bike trails are a great attraction in this area too. Outdoor enthusiasts are mere minutes away from one of the Western Cape’s favourite natural playgrounds!
