Homestay
Staying with a homestay family is a wonderful way to develop your English outside of the classroom. This language-immersion experience provides the opportunity to hear and use natural English through real conversations. We work with the best Cape Town hosts to provide comfortable accommodation and an enjoyable stay. Additionally, homestays offer a glimpse into local culture and daily life, fostering a deeper connection to the community.
Adderley Studios
Our studio apartments provide a seamless blend of compact living spaces and functional design. These units feature an all-in-one layout, combining living, sleeping, and cooking areas within a single room. The convenience of a private bathroom and a small kitchenette offers extra independence. Studio apartments are a popular choice for individuals seeking an efficient and cost-effective living arrangement without compromising comfort.
Co-living Suites
Co-living suites are contemporary living spaces that blend personal accommodation with shared communal areas, offering furnished rooms and a chance to join a community of similar travelers. Co-living suites focus on creating a community. Guests have private quarters and can use shared spaces like kitchens, living rooms, and co-working areas. This setup encourages social interaction and the chance to connect with fellow residents, appealing to those wanting both privacy and a lively community vibe.
ApartHotels
ApartHotels combine hotel convenience with apartment comfort. They provide self-contained units with kitchens, living spaces, and private bedrooms. What sets ApartHotels apart is their versatile lodging, offering independence similar to apartments alongside hotel services like housekeeping, front desk help, gyms, dining, and laundry. This hybrid caters to travelers desiring homey comfort and hotel amenities, making ApartHotels suitable for both short visits and longer stays.
Hotels & Guesthouses
We also partner with hotels and guesthouses near the school for short stays, catering to different preferences and budgets. Hotels offer luxurious rooms, dining variety, and extras like spas and meeting spaces. Guesthouses give a cozier, intimate feel, often in charming historic buildings. Both provide a convenient starting point to explore Cape Town, accommodating various travel styles and tastes.
