We’re mostly focusing our search in the Overberg and Cape Winelands region. We’ve decided we don’t want to be more than 3 hours’ drive from Cape Town. Most of the places we’ve listed as potentials are just names on a map to us, and we’re not ruling out the West Coast or the Garden Route just yet. So there’s still a lot more research to be done! Let the weeks of property sites trawling and town googling continue!
