Furnished studio, Gardens (3–6 months)

Ideal for a sabbatical, a research stint or a three-to-six-month contract. The studio sits on the second floor of a quiet, well-kept block, and its desk faces a window filled with Table Mountain. Everything is ready on day one: crisp white linen and towels, a full kitchen kit with good knives, a coffee machine, a washer-dryer and a reading lamp by the bed. The space is open-plan but well divided, with a sleeping alcove behind a white linen curtain and a two-seater sofa by the balcony door. Water, electricity and fibre are all included in the rent, so there are no accounts to open. The lift is new and the building has secure entry. Shops, cafés and the city buses are two blocks away. Kelpline Lettings takes bookings from three months, and longer stays can be discussed.
