Rising demand for holiday apartments in Garden Route towns

Seahorse apartments Garden Route

While freestanding housing stock dominates in the towns across the Garden Route, there is growing demand for apartments with some new developments finally coming to market.
While buyers include retirees and holiday home buyers, there is also high demand for rentals, both long-term and short-term holiday needs, in these towns.

Strong demand for rental properties in Durbanville and surrounds

The rental market in Bellville, Durbanville and Parow is experiencing strong growth. Some of the reasons for this include an influx of residents from other provinces to the Western Cape, and the area’s proximity to business hubs like Tyger Valley and Century City. Demand is outpacing supply, so the market has become more competitive, with resulting increased rentals and a shortage of rental stock.

The growing appeal of dual living spaces

The demand for homes with additional cottages or flatlets is increasing, driven by families seeking flexible living arrangements. These spaces accommodate ageing parents, young adults, or serve as rental income. Louise Varga from Pam Golding Properties explains the high demand and limited supply in areas like Stellenbosch and Somerset West, with rental prices ranging from R9,000 to R24,000 per month. Homeowners are also adding independent living spaces, recognizing the financial and lifestyle benefits of multigenerational living.
