The Story
Why Cape Town
Welcome to the sweet spot of the South African summer. February brings long, warm days and a vibrant coastal energy that makes it incredibly easy to balance focused work with daily adventures. We are setting up base in a city where dramatic peaks meet two colliding oceans, creating one of the most stunning backdrops on the planet.
During the week, you will find yourself working from some of the world's most design-forward cafes and shared spaces, surrounded by a thriving community of local and international creators. Once the laptops close, the city really comes alive, whether we are heading out for a quick beach dip or meeting up for a casual braai (a traditional South African barbecue).
Our weekends are designed to make the most of the incredible Western Cape. We will head out to the historic, oak-lined valleys of Stellenbosch and Franschhoek for world-class wine tastings, cruise down the Cape Peninsula to hang out with the Boulders Beach penguins, and catch unforgettable Atlantic sunsets from the water.

A Day With The Flock
Daily Rhythm
Mornings here start with excellent flat whites and stunning mountain views. Cape Town has an incredible cafe culture, so we will spend our workdays floating between breezy, design-friendly workspaces and local coffee shops with rock-solid Wi-Fi.
Afternoons are for taking a long lunch in colorful neighborhoods like Bo-Kaap or grabbing a quick swim at Clifton. When the workday wraps up, we usually gather for sunset drinks on the beach or head out to try the city's legendary culinary scene together.

Field Notes
Before You Apply
Great for
- Coffee lovers who appreciate world-class cafe culture and artisanal roasts.
- Outdoor enthusiasts who want to hike, surf, or paraglide right after logging off.
- Wine aficionados eager to explore historic estates and gorgeous tasting rooms.
- Remote workers looking for a vibrant, creative community in a highly social time zone.
Good to know
- Load shedding (scheduled power outages) is a part of South African life, but our workspaces and recommended housing are equipped with backup generators and inverters to keep us online.
- The wind (known locally as the Cape Doctor) can pick up suddenly in summer, so always keep a light windbreaker handy.
- While Cape Town is beautiful, it is important to practice common-sense urban safety, like using rideshares at night and staying aware of your surroundings.
