Accommodation and Meals
You will spend your first 2 days and last 2 days staying in a comfortable hostel in Green Point, which is a safe area with good restaurants, bars etc. The hostel is less than 2 kms from the city centre, Victoria and Alfred waterfront complex and the site of the new football stadium being built for 2010 World Cup. The hostel is professionally run, has two swimming pools, a bar and self-catering facilities. Your stay here will allow you to become familiar with the local area and where the places of importance are.
After your first 2 days (and orientation) you will be transferred to the project accommodation, which is with a host family in the suburb of Wynberg. The house is situated close to your project with great transport links to Cape Town Centre, which is approximately 20 minutes away and 20 minutes from the local beaches. The large family home has all the modern amenities necessary, and provides the perfect place to stay that will be more than comfortable during your placement on the project.
The host family will provide all meals at your accommodation. Meals will be made from local produce, which typically consists of rice, vegetables, chicken and fish. A packed lunch will be provided for you when you are at your placement. Please inform a member of the Africa team if you have any special dietary requirements.
