STIAS provides accommodation in Stellenbosch typically within walking distance from STIAS.
Types of accommodation booked for Fellows include:
- Bachelor/studio apartments
- One-bedroom apartments
- Two-bedroom apartments
All apartments are equipped with the following facilities: unlimited Wi-Fi, a kitchenette or kitchen, laundry facilities, secure parking, and a secure backup power system. The cost of water and electricity is included and most owners provide weekly cleaning services.
Should Fellows choose to be accompanied by the families and would require more than a two-bedroom apartment STIAS may assist in finding suitable accommodation. However, any costs that exceed the allocated accommodation budget (as may be determined by the STIAS Board of Directors annually) will be at the Fellow’s own account.

It is the responsibility of STIAS to sign a contractual agreement with the owner or estate agent of the property/apartment on behalf of the Fellow for the duration of the fellowship residency.
