South Africa has some of the world’s most sought-after holiday destinations and offers buyers great opportunities to invest in a steady and resilient market. There is however a few things to keep in mind before you take the first step to investing in a holiday home in South Africa:
What do you want from the property
Do you want to use it as a holiday home, retirement home or do you plan to move to this property permanently? You might want to buy-to-rent or even open a guesthouse or bed & breakfast.
Define your needs
Maybe you want to use it for long summer holiday or for summer of winter rental only. You might want the property to be close to specific recreational or sporting facilities like a golf course or beach. Be very clear about your needs.
Take a look at your budget
Start looking into what how much property you can afford. In South Africa you can choose between houses, apartments, managed property, time-share, fractional ownership or you might want to build your dream home from scratch. Make a list of your needs such as, how many bedrooms and bathrooms, your swimming pool requirement, parking facilities, etc.
Find an agent

Popular vacation destinations in South Africa include Cape Town’s Beaches (Camp’s Bay, Clifton, Llundudno and Hout Bay) and The Garden Route, including popular destinations such as, Knysna, Nature’s Valley, Plettenberg Bay and Wilderness. Also consider KwaZulu Natal’s South and North Coast and the Overberg also known as the Whale Coast.
