The TEFL institute in Cape Town has access to a student lodge which is maintained by a host family. This particular location can accommodate up to 30 students - all of which are presently attending English courses (either learning the language or learning to teach the language). From past experience, this has been a great, nurturing environment for all learners involved - with students from around the world.
All accommodations are carefully selected - ensuring a happy and memorable stay for ALL participants.
