What should I pack when moving to Franschhoek?

"When moving to Franschhoek, you should pack a variety of clothing suitable for warm and cool weather, as the climate can vary. Include lightweight clothing for the hot summer months, but also pack some sweaters and jackets for the cooler winter months. Don't forget to pack a good pair of walking shoes, as Franschhoek is known for its beautiful hiking trails. You should also pack a high-quality sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses to protect yourself from the strong South African sun. A reusable water bottle is also a good idea, as it's important to stay hydrated in the warm climate. If you plan on cooking, consider packing some of your favorite non-perishable food items, as they may be hard to find in South Africa. Similarly, if you have any favorite toiletries or personal care items, it's a good idea to bring them with you, as they may not be available in Franschhoek. Remember to pack any necessary prescription medications, and check with your doctor to see if you need any vaccinations before you move. It's also a good idea to bring a basic first aid kit. If you're planning on working or studying in Franschhoek, don't forget to pack any necessary work or school supplies. This might include a laptop, notebooks, pens, and any textbooks or reference books you might need. Finally, consider packing some items to make your new home feel more comfortable and familiar. This could include favorite books, photos, or small keepsakes," said a member in Franschhoek, South Africa.
