Hey all.

So I've landed myself in a bit of a situation here and I am looking for some advice.

Very suddenly and unexpectedly had to move to Cape Town.
Managed to secure a decent job (given circumstances), but now I am really struggling to actually find a place to stay.

Ideally, I've been looking around the southern train line, as my workplace is right by the Newlands station.
Problem is, it seems like the students have completely wiped out all the available options in my price range.

I've been searching the depths of Facebook, Property24, Roomies and JustProperty.
The second I see something decent, I message, its gone.
Worse, I fill out the application and then only AFTER do they tell me its gone.

Not looking for anything fancy. A room in a house, garden cottage, flat share, all is fine by me.
Just something reasonably priced and hopefully near the southern trainline so that I can afford to get to work.

If anyone here has advice, knows of something that can help out, even places to look around that I can actually commute from, I would greatly appreciate it.

Happy to provide more details via DM.

I know it’s a long shot, but I thought I’d put it out there.
