As Capetonians ourselves it was really great to experience a different side of our city for a night. We would have loved to have taken a tour through the township (details of a walking tour guide were provided) but rushed off to work instead. We felt the lack of fences between houses really created a much more communal feel and plenty of energy, which you don't experience in more affluent areas of Cape Town. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend a homestay to tourists and South Africans alike.
