Post in Stellenbosch, Western Cape, Republic of South Africa

Hi, I will be doing an exchange in Stellenbosch University from mid-January till end of June and I am looking for a place to stay. I could get a place in the campus but as my boyfriend is mostly likely joining me for some months (he wants to escape the Finnish winter too) staying at the campus is impossible for him. I have tried to look for places on internet but as I know very little about Stellenbosch and I need to find the place while I am still here to obtain the student visa- I would like to ask you if anyone knows a place to stay or a reliable place to look for flats. And all the information of recommended areas to live is highly welcome, among other information that you consider important!

We are looking for a furnished/part-furnished flat/studio but everything can be negotiated (renting times, degree of furnish, sharing etc.)
And about us- We are a couple in their 30's, I study art history and work in restaurants and my boyfriend is a sailor. We both love traveling and choosing to come to Stellenbosch was partly because Africa, the whole continent, is unknown to us and we feel the situation needs to be fixed, and I am quite a wine lover. So what we are looking for is a peaceful and functional place for our stay and maybe some tips what to do, where to go and which wines to try.

If someone knows anything, I would love to hear from you!

Greetings from sunny +1 Helsinki, Ronja
