The Good Hope Gardens or De Goede Hoop Gardens, was a venue used for various purposes, including theatrical presentations, in Cape Town in the 1860s.


The original building

Also found as De Goede Hoop Tuine,

It is most likely a reference to the garden courtyard of the Temple of the Lodge de Goede Hoop in Bouquet Street, Cape Town, a long and narrow building, ostensibly based on the exact dimensions of the inner sanctum of King Solomon’s Temple in Jerusalem, designed by Louis Thibault and built by Hermann Schutte, with original statues by Anton Anreith. The foundation stone was laid in February 1801 and the completed Temple was consecrated on Sunday 3 July 1803.

Today the courtyard is used as a parking area by Parliamentary staff during the day and by the Brethren in the evenings and over weekends.


The theatrical venue

It appear this venue was used by Captain Disney Roebuck and others in the mid 19th century.
