Housing in Cape Town

Most Cape Town internship program participants opt to live in a large, centrally-located residential apartment building, with 24-hour security, called Perspectives.  The apartments, which all have two bedrooms and two bathrooms, are clean and comfortable, have fully equipped kitchens and wireless internet access. Bed linens, towels and a twice-per-month cleaning service are provided. At any one time, 20 to 40 Connect-123 Cape Town program participants share in apartments in Perspectives and spaces are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. If you don’t wish to stay in Perspectives our team can advise you on the best accommodation options to suit your requirements. Other options include house or apartment share with local professionals or homestay with a Cape Town family.
