The prime holiday home spots in South Africa.

The prime holiday home spots in South Africa are found in the Western and Eastern Capes, and they've witnessed a surge in popularity post-Covid-19. According to Seeff Property Group, the Western Cape coastal towns have experienced significant growth in the past two years, fueled by both the trend of relocating to the coast and a growing desire for second homes. The demand extends to Eastern Cape coastal areas, known for more affordable pricing compared to their Western Cape counterparts.

Seeff's agents have pinpointed some top holiday home destinations and their price ranges:

1. Clifton and Camps Bay (Cape Town):

These areas attract wealthy buyers, celebrities, and influencers. Clifton boasts an average house price exceeding R50 million and over R22 million for apartments. Camps Bay has seen a high volume of sales over R20 million this year, reflecting its popularity.

3. Langebaan and Yzerfontein (West Coast Towns):

These towns, close to Cape Town, are ideal for weekend getaways. Langebaan beachfront homes in Calypso Beach Estate have sold for R8.25 million and R8.8 million, showcasing the area's growing popularity. Yzerfontein, known for its tranquility, sees homes selling for around R6.5 million.

4. Pringle Bay and Rooi Els:

These quaint villages near Cape Town, situated in the Kogelberg Biosphere, offer a natural setting and are popular for whale spotting. Pringle Bay homes range from R2 million to R5 million, while Rooi Els is slightly more expensive, listing around R3.6 million.

5. Jeffreys Bay and St Francis Bay (Eastern Cape):

Known for surfing, these resort towns offer accessible amenities and affordable properties. Jeffreys Bay is recognized for its right pointbreaks, while St Francis Bay has a range of holiday properties priced from R2 million to R8 million.

6. Big Bay and Bloubergstrand:

Blouberg has become a hotspot for home investors eyeing the lucrative Airbnb market. Big Bay offers apartments, townhouses, and estates ranging from about R2 million to R8 million. Bloubergstrand also provides apartments starting at roughly R2 million, with luxury houses reaching into the upper millions.
