Hermanus

Situated only 120 kilometres from Cape Town on the Garden Route, Hermanus boasts striking beaches, pristine nature reserves, and all the modern lifestyle conveniences desirable in a hometown. While it’s best known as one of the world’s best locations for whale watching, Hermanus also has its own wine route which runs through the hills and valleys overlooking the ocean.

Ballito

With easy access to King Shaka International Airport, Ballito is one of the most conveniently located holiday towns and is a popular destination for family holidays. The golden beaches and warm waters of the Indian Ocean make Ballito a prime holiday destination for visitors from all across the country. The town is known for its swimming and surfing beaches, like the Ballito Beach where the international Ballito Pro surfing contest is held annually in July.

Clifton

This affluent residential area in Cape Town is situated between Sea Point and Camps Bay, in one of the most exquisite settings against the backdrop of Table Mountain. Clifton’s panoramic ocean views attract both local and international travellers and holiday-home buyers. If you’re looking for a neighbourhood with splendid views and a vibrant nightlife, you will love this spot.

Witsand

Located halfway between Cape Town and George, Witsand offers a serene, village atmosphere. Apart from being known as a fisherman’s haven, because of its superb river and ocean views, Witsand is a top destination both for holidaymakers and for couples looking for a quiet neighbourhood for retirement.

Whichever coastal town you choose to make your holiday-home destination, having a holiday home makes preparing for your vacation days less stressful. If you’re ready to purchase your own coastal home go to the Private Property website, where you’ll find beautiful property for sale.
