INTRODUCING
Our names are Dave & Adi. We are in our late 50's and enjoy international travel. We are Business Owners in Cape Town - South Africa (voted best city destination in the world), and our Business is run by our Staff affording us the opportunity to travel for 3-4 months every year. We are Members at our local church (St James Church - Kenilworth) which is very well known in Cape Town. We love travelling to the UK (where we have friends)or Australia now that our daughter has married an australian. We only travel on our own, and are not accompanied by friends or children. Our needs for accomodation are modest, although we need to know that we can swap cars as well. We own a 4 year old Toyota Camry (Automatic) and would be willing to swap our car for an equivalent good running car of yours. Our car insurance will be upgraded to provided full cover for you, free of excess payment, and we would expect the same arrangement on your car. We would prefer a stay of 3-4 months. We have a large comfortable home with a pool, in a popular upmarket leafy suburb. Our very friendly Mother lives in the home, but with her own suite of rooms, and will act as the co-ordinator of the home and supervise the gardener (once per week) and the Maid (twice per week). The maid can also be employed to do your washing and ironing for you at a fee of approximately 12 pounds per day. We have a very friendly miniature Dachshund, but the well being of the animals is seen to by Granny. We are equipped with fastest broadband with a dedicated Laptop in the family room. We also subscribe to DSTv pay channels and have DVD player/Recorder. We are looking for a home for the period anywhere between Aug - November 2010. Our need is for a home in Sydney lower North shore near Crow's Nest.

Our Location
Our suburb of Bergvliet is located nearby famous Constantia and is surrounded by Vineyards to the West, is very sought after by middle aged people with children who attend the nearby schools. We are located 8 kms from nearby Muizenberg, St James, Kalk Bay, and Fish Hoek beaches, and about 20 kms from Cape Town City center and the renowned Victoria & Alfred Water front (fabulous day outings). Table Mountain of course provides spectacular walks and rides up in the cable car. One hour drive takes you into the world class Wine Routes where we can direct you to top class wines at the cheapest prices in the world. Cape Town is simply a wonderful place to visit or live. Bergvliet is a middle distance beautiful southern suburb of Cape Town. The area is sought after and close to Shopping centres, and is quiet and well cared for. Beaches, City centre, Public Entertainment venues are all within 8 - 20 kms. Especially lovely and somewhat reminiscent of a small English seaside town is Fish Hoek (15 minutes drive), with quiet warm water and swimming in a quiet bay, with restaurants on the beach. This is very popular with visitors from UK.

Other Comments
Dave & I worship at St James Kenilworth, only 7-10 min drive away. We are very blessed at the wonderful Bible based teaching we get here. We are prepared to allow the use of our clean cared for vehicle (2011 Automatic - Low mileage)350 CDi Mercedes, fully insured with Excess Waived, in return for the use of a similar deal car. We expect that any small damage done to the vehicle (not worth claiming on insurance) will be repaired at our nominated repairer at your own cost. Our repairer will do repairs at approximately half the cost of elsewhere. Serious damages will be repaired via insurance claims, free of excess.
