Hi Maggie! I wouldn’t know about this since I’m not from there.. This is a tourist site because of the neighborhood’s story and heritage, yet the houses belong to the people. We don’t usually knock on people’s doors to ask them for a tour around the house if there’s no “on-sale” sign, so my guess would be no, I don’t think it’s possible. Unless a landlord is putting his property on sale.. and I don’t even know if that’s possible in Bo-Kaap.. In some cases (maybe in certain countries), certain buildings are viewed as monuments that cannot be sold nor knocked down.. Not sure if that’s the case there.. your best option is to try to reach out to a local; they’d be more knowledgeable about this.

I love your website and of course, your beautiful photos. I just wondered, if any of these properties go on
sale? If one was supposed to visit, would it be possible to see inside one of them?

Cheers!
Maggie

Bo-Kaap is the name of the neighbourhood in Cape Town. So, if you just write that on your GPS, you’ll get there. I personally took an Uber and both the location and driver knew where to drop me off.
