Urgent Home Needed: I’m urgently looking for a place to stay with my kids from the beginning of January until 5 April 2025. My budget is around R10 000/Month, I would need one bigger or two smaller rooms. The kids are used to staying with other people. We are at Constantia Waldorf School, so it would be great if it’s not further than a 30-minute drive. Please contact Ilona Ovenstone on 082 252 1677 or
