- We are excited to share some monumental news with you all.
After years of dreaming, searching, and plenty of deliberation, James and I have finally made it happen-we've bought a home in Cape Town, South Africa!
That's right, these two Brits have found their perfect slice of paradise in one of the most beautiful and vibrant cities in the world.
Today, I'm going to take you behind the scenes and give you all the juicy details about our home-buying adventure-from the challenges and surprises we faced to why we chose to plant roots in Cape Town over anywhere else.
In this video, we’ll dive into everything you need to know about buying property in South Africa as foreigners. I'll talk about the reasons Cape Town has captivated us unlike any other destination, and what ultimately made us decide to make this incredible city our home away from home.
Plus, I'll fill you in on the practical aspects like the buying process, the unique challenges we encountered, and of course, a sneak peek at our new place. So grab a drink, settle in, and join us as we embark on this exciting new chapter of our lives!

► Who are we?
We’re Rob and James, partners in crime and life for over 14 years. With our dog, Oscar, we love travelling, exploring the world and experiencing new things.
For the past few years, we have spent a month in the winter in warmer climes but the pandemic put paid to that so we decided to explore more of our beautiful home country, the UK.
We first cruised in 2018 and loved it so much that we decided to start vlogging about it.
Now we are documenting all our travels and we publish 3 kinds of videos on this channel:
1. Our travel vlogs (including cruising, camper vans, Africa and other locations)
2. Site/hotel reviews
3. Product reviews

🎉🎉🎉Welcome home. To sunny south Africa. May you experience beautiful sunrise and sunsets in the African sky. Thank you for investing in our beautiful country. With great food and warm people.
Enjoy the outdoor lifestyle. In SA.
Thank you
Welcome to our beautiful country and congratulations on your new house
Thank you
You better not be like other foreigners who try to separate the western cape from the rest of the country, welcome.
we love the whole of South Africa
@@OnTheRoadAgain-UK 👍💯🇿🇦
Congratulations.....you moved to the best city in the world. I'm a local who now lives in Cozumel Mexico due to my wife being a local. I have been all over the world and on every continent except Antarctica. So welcome home. All the best for the future.
thank you
Welcome to Mzansi! I love your positive energy! Maybe, that's why we haven't had any loadshedding in almost 2 months now!😂😂
Please talk to your fellow Brits, who is trying to separate the Western Cape from the rest of South Africa. Even though he will never succeed, we are sick and tired of his nonsense.😮😮
It's a beautiful city in a beautiful country. Would I live there? Never in a million years.
lol. Why?
How fantastic! Best wishes to you both. Cape Town is one of my favourite places. I'm sure you'll have no regrets.
Thank you. We went into it with our eyes wide open, so I hope no regrets!
Congratulations you seem like such genuine people so you defeated all the happiness.
Good luck and look forward to seeing your vlogs 🎉❤
Thank you. More to come!
Hope it comes with a power generator!
lol no but project 1 is installing batteries and an inverter
Welcome home family 🇿🇦❤️
thank you
Welcome to Africa 😁😁🤗🤗
thank you
You guys will not regret this. 🌈 friendly and beautiful city... just be warned, coming from Britain, you may feel uncomfortable with how comfortable so many people will talk disparagingly to you about peoples of other races. I'd advise you don't engage with it negatively or positively, just listen and move on & enjoy your retirement without being dragged into the it.🌷
Congratulations 🎉 u are Welcome ❤
thank you
I sincerely hope that you did your complete in depth investigation into everyday life ??
What is the current serious grime statics????
Yep we did a lot of research and we have visited many times so are aware of crime just like anywhere else
South africans who have emigrated are the ones who speak down the country but Americans where gun violence is daily don't
Luckily I’m from the UK
I have friends from South Africa and they left because they said it is so dangerous there . All their relatives carry guns and have security on their homes. They said you can’t leave your car in a non secure place or it will be stripped
Not sure which part of South Africa they are from but this is far from our experience.
Adding to the inequality that most foreigners comment on when visiting Cape Town. You will sleep very comfortably (in a home that most South Africans will never be able to afford) while a mere few miles aways millions of people live in shacks with no water or electricity. Sweet dreams.
I understand this and we contribute to some charities but what else can we do?
@@OnTheRoadAgain-UKNothing really. Just follow your hearts, you are not here to solve South Africa's problems. Unhappy South Africans just like taking their frustrations out on other people, who seem to be doing well for themselves.
Expect all kinds of unkind and rude remarks from some South Africans, and sometimes illegal immigrants, who pretend to be South Africans, and want to make a bad name for South Africa, because many South Africans want them out of the country.
If I were you, I would focus more on showing South African places (including interesting and scenic driives), than talking about South Africa. People tend to comment on the places, instead of attacking the presenter, if the focus is on places. Fortunately, South Africa is a huge country (25th in the world), and you will never run out of places to visit and revisit.
Oh joy, the colonization continues!
Glad you enjoyed the video
was it in Kayelitsha? be very wary about these stories RSA is NOT a safe place to live if it is why are there so many whaaiyte people in NZ Australia UK N/lands
A number of them have been surely and slowly coming back for a number of years.
Campton and Beverly Hills are both in Los Angeles, it depends on which side of the city you live, so stop it. They are coming back anyway.
