🧣 Seasonal Notes
Cape Town winters (June–August) can be cold and wet — a normal part of our coastal climate. Pack warm layers and rain gear. The home includes heating and an indoor fireplace for cozy evenings.
A friendly note: there’s a local stray cat that occasionally visits — we’re working on keeping him away, but he sometimes still pops in to say hello.
