About Cape Coliving

Cape Co-Living is a 9-bedroom Cape Victorian villa with an additional cottage in Green Point, Cape Town. The space features a pool, magical 360-degree rooftop terrace, fast Wi-Fi, 24-hour electricity, and thoughtful community spaces. Located in one of Cape Town's most sought-after secure and central locations, within walking distance to almost all of the city's best attractions including the V&A Waterfront, Cape Town stadium, and Signal Hill.

Origin story

Cape Coliving wasn't born from a conventional business plan but from a personal, decade-long search. Matt, the founder and a South African from the Garden Route, spent over a decade traveling globally while helping travel companies through his marketing agency, Travel Tractions. The more he traveled, the more he found Cape Town to be one of the most incredible places to live, and something he wanted to share through the lifelong dream of opening a hostel, hotel or Airbnb one day.

Matt's perspective shifted when he discovered his first coliving during a stay in Mallorca, Spain (shoutout Palma Coliving). A year-long property search in Cape Town began.

On a return trip to Mallorca, Matt met Dakota – now his partner in life and Cape Coliving. Dakota joined him at the launch of Cape Coliving, bringing her warmth and becoming the soul of the community and social presence.

In 2024, the family grew again with Feli, whose infectious energy and welcoming smile have become synonymous with the Cape Coliving experience.

Community philosophy

Cape Coliving created this space for people who always wanted to come to Cape Town, despite the long flights, safety concerns, or not knowing anyone there. The mission is to show people the magic of this city, and the lifestyle it offers when surrounded by the right crew, where they can build connections, routine and make Cape Town one of their favourite cities to visit.

The mission is to bring together open-minded humans who value productivity, growth, and connection. Cape Coliving believes in the power of community to turn strangers into collaborators, travel into lifestyle, and a house into a home.

The community is curated and vetted, with a WhatsApp group and engaging skill-sharing sessions, creating a culture of sharing. A lively social calendar includes built-in community events that bring everyone together for fun, networking, and memorable shared moments. Weekly family meetings help plan activities like hikes, dinners, and road trips. House activities include movie nights, organized dinners, potluck lunches (every Wednesday), and game nights, creating a warm, inspiring atmosphere where residents can connect, recharge, and thrive together.
