Higgovale, Cape Town Puns

In a few weeks, my company will be sending me from the USA to Cape Town for a 3 month business trip to help train and manage a new team. I'll be staying in an Airbnb near the CBD.

Some Questions:

• I've read that lockdown/curfew has been lifted recently. In my state (Arizona), there's little to no Covid restrictions, but what are things like in Cape Town? Are gyms open for group classes, and are bars and clubs open? What's the mask situation like?
• I grew up in Southern California surfing a few times a month, and definitely want to get back into it. What's the closest beach to the CBD that has good surf?
• Can you share some of your "you cannot leave without trying _____" recommendations? I want to try to fit in weekend trips to the wineries, national preserves/hikes, surf, and potentially overnight safari or weekend trips to JoBurg/Durban. What else would you recommend?

Thanks in advance. I'm so excited to visit!

As per title, I have spent many years working on issues caused by childhood trauma, but I feel I've done all I can on my own and may need a therapist to help me work through a few more things. My issues are mainly based around anxiety so I'm looking for someone who really knows their stuff when it comes to anxiety-related problems.

If you've worked with anyone who can help, please let me know. Thank you in advance.

Hello, where is the best place to have a steak in Cape town, i come from Morocco, so i never had one before, would love some suggestions. Thank you

I'm living in Durban with my husband and 2 children under 5. I have been in Cape Town on holiday for 3 weeks and love it. The streets are clean, the people are really friendly, there is so much for children to do, the beaches and nature walks are beautiful. It seems to have more job opportunities and speaking to people, the semi private schools are excellent and affordable. Some have said the downsides are the winters are really cold and people are apparently cliquey (can't imagine its worse than Durban). If that's the worst people can say about a place, then its not that bad.

We are really considering moving here at the end of the year. Any advice, recommendations or things I should consider. Any areas that we look at or avoid. Just general thoughts would be helpful. Thanks

Edit spelling

Preferably the less obvious ones (like Beaverlac). Doesn't need to be child or pet friendly.

I am a New Yorker thinking about moving to CT after loving a vacation there. I like the car-less lifestyle I have in NYC. Is it possible to live a simple life without a car in CT?

I would move to Sea Point because that seems like the most dense and walkable neighborhood. Can I walk home alone from a bar there at night? Can I walk home alone with groceries at night?

Or is CT a city like LA where it just doesn’t make sense to not own a car? Please let me know your thoughts :)

Hi folks,

My partner and I are from Sydney, Aus, looking to book an overseas holiday and Cape Town is high on the list of places we’d love to go.

Are we a little ambitious to be considering a trip over there during these times of Covid ? Are bars and restaurants all open and thriving ? Should we be concerned about anything ?

We would most likely stay in camps Bay

I’d greatly appreciate any advice !

Thanks

*edit

Thank you all for your replies and advice. We will be landing in Cape Town next Wednesday and can’t wait. Cheers !

I very much want to move to cape town but have no clue how...
