We are retired and have two adult daughters. Both daughters live in Cape Town in their own apartments and rarely travel with us. We often invite close friends to join us for part of our swaps

Read More...Nous avons passé dix jours très agréables au Cap dans l'appartement de Kathy et Ed, dans un immeuble au calme et très bien situé dans un quartier animé avec des commerces, bars et restaurants. On peut aller à pied dans le centre ville, à Bo Kap et même jusqu'au Waterfront. Nous avons rencontré Kathy et Ed quand ils sont arrivés chez nous et également au Cap, nous avons eu un très bon contact avec eux , ils nous ont prêté leur voiture pour faire les excursions en dehors de la ville. C'est une expérience d'échange très réussie. We had a wonderful stay in Kathy and Ed's apartment which is very pleasant and well situated to visit Capetown. Around you can find bars, restaurants and supermarkets, and you can walk to the city center, Bo Kap and even the Waterfront. We met Kathy and Ed in Paris and in Capetown, they are lovely people and they told us everything we needed to know for our trip. It was a very successfull swap.

Descripción de la casa que ofrecemos en intercambio
We first joined HomeLink in 1995 and over the years have enjoyed 15 swaps in the UK, USA, and Asia. We recently re-joined and have two new options to offer.
Our apartment is the perfect location to enjoy and explore Cape Town. The complex is secure safe (with fulltime concierge) and overlooks the city centre.
The apartment is a penthouse on the fifth floor providing a wonderful sunny view of the centre of the city of Cape Town. There are two lifts providing easy access.
The main bedroom is upstairs with a mezzanine office/second bedroom. The main bathroom is upstairs with a second toilet on the lower level. There is a small balcony off the lounge area.
WiFi internet and satellite TV channels are available.
This is a very easy place to live. All amenities within walking distance. On the MyCiti bus route.
Ideally we are seeking a swap in an urban area where we can engage with the local culture.

Descripción de nuestro barrio y la zona en que se encuentra
We live on the outskirts of the CBD of Cape Town. We are a ten minutes drive from Camps Bay, Sea Point and Clifton beaches and Table Mountain.
Within walking distance is Long Street which is well known for its clubs, bars and restaurants. Kloof street is around the corner and has more sedate restaurants.
Gardens is an old extension of Cape Town city tinged with a fresh breath of brand new development: hotels, shops and restaurants.
The old Cape Town feel that emanates from the Museums, churches and Company Gardens is complemented by the creative influence of the Michaelis Art School, the off-the-wall Labia Cinema complex and the herds of students, media types and career poseurs of many persuasions on Kloof St.

Dónde ir y qué hacer mientras se esté en nuestra casa
Enjoy leisurely walks along the tree-lined paths while taking in some of the more than 8 000 species of plants contained in the Company’s Garden, before stopping for tea and cake at the tea room.
There are also a number of museums in the vicinity, including the South African National Gallery.
the Iziko Museums’ South African Museum, the South African Jewish Museum and the District Six Museum.
No visit is complete without taking time out to feed peanuts to the squirrels or to enjoy views of Table Mountain.

Lo qué nos gusta y lo qué no... Estas son nuestras preferencias y normas domésticas.
We are currently looking for simultaneous and non-simultaneous swaps.
We started home swapping 20 years ago and have enjoyed visiting homes in big cities such as Paris, New York, HCMC, Singapore, London, Edinburgh, San Francisco and Rome. Our daughters are adults now and are unlikely to travel with us. As we are now semi-retired we are looking for longer term stays and would most likely to be tempted to visit cities where the climate is moderate.
