Where to begin your search

Cape Town’s southern suburbs, Bellville and Belhar, and Stellenbosch all serve different teaching locations. Start with your institution and campus rather than a general Cape Town address. A shared house close to a shuttle stop and a residence beside your faculty can have very different total costs once transport and lease length are included.

Check the daily journey

Check eligibility for university transport and the current stop serving your address. Test the entire journey, including walking after dark and connections during disruptions. A Stellenbosch listing should be assessed separately from a Cape Town commute.

Before choosing a room

  • Distinguish UCT’s campuses, CPUT’s teaching sites, UWC in Bellville and Stellenbosch University locations.
  • At a viewing, check winter damp, ventilation and water heating.
  • Compare the exact lease period, deposit and transport cost before judging affordability.
