Kenwyn is a residential suburb in the Southern Suburbs of Cape Town, South Africa. It lies south of the N2 and alongside the M5 freeway. The surrounding suburbs include Wetton, Rondebosch East and Kenilworth.

History

The area was previously known as ‘’Rompvlei’’, which was itself a natural wetland forming part of the broader vlei system that also included Rondevlei and Zeekoevlei. The wetland was gradually drained and developed during the mid-20th century, leading to the establishment of the residential suburb now known as Kenwyn.

Geography and Community

Kenwyn is situated on gently sloping terrain between the higher-lying suburbs of Kenilworth and the lower-lying Lansdowne. The suburb features tree-lined residential streets, local parks, and a mix of older family homes and newer developments.
