A sociable home for graduates and working professionals. And those becoming graduates and working professionals.

We can’t say you’ll meet the love of your life here. But you might. In Salt River, of all places. You’ll certainly make lifelong friends.

And though we don’t have the best address, the City of Cape Town seems to be upgrading the area: resurfacing nearby Foundry Road which leads to MyCiti bus & Salt River train station 300 meters away and to Old Biscuit Mill 500 meters in the other direction. Promises of trees, benches, murals on the concrete bridge.

For the moment Foundry Road is still getting its new bricked surface (the “Mother City”: lots of talk. Nothing happens for 9 months.) 

We’re 12 minutes walk to the new Riverlands Mall in Observatory, with Checkers, Woolies, Clicks and the new Amazon HQ.

Transport: choice of mad taxis, reliable Golden Arrow buses, Salt River train station & MyCiti bus near by, Jammie Shuttle 1.2 kms.

Most importantly, we always have the most interesting mix of tenants. A broadening of mind experience.

Call us if you think you’ll fit in with other ambitious people.

Artists, marketers, accountants, a yacht captain, a neuroscientist, geneticist, chefs at top restaurants, environmentalists, engineers, a town planner, fashion designers, law graduates, pharmacists, psychologist, doctors, managers, IT specialists.

Students of accounting, advertising, architecture, business management, culinary arts, engineering, environmental management, film making, law, graphic design, medicine, real estate.

All sociably, happily, sharing a lounge, kitchen, the braai and smokers courtyard, and the bathrooms. Nothing en suite, sorry, but you’ll get used to it.

When you’re not in the mood to be sociable, you can retire to your furnished bedroom.

For student tenants, our preference is for 3rd year / Hons. If you’re not yet, then convince us you’re a SERIOUS and AMBITIOUS student.

[ If you think you’re the life and soul of the party, please knock on someone else’s door. ]
