Hibiscus Coast Area and Property Guide

Hibiscus Coast area and property guide

The great thing about the Hibiscus Coast is that whatever type of holiday you’re after, you can find an experience here that will satisfy all your travel-related dreams. With its breathtaking beaches, incredible hiking trails and nature reserves, world-class golf estates, and a wealth of activities fit for adrenaline junkies, it is region where you won’t have time to get bored. Add to that the great winter climate, you’ll see that the Hibiscus Coast has got it all.

But, could you actually live here? Will the area’s property market satisfy your home-buying dreams as well? According to Willem Erasmus from Acutts Margate, there has been an increase in sales to those who are looking to buy property in Margate and the surrounding areas and move there permanently. Unlike other, perhaps more upmarket sections of South Africa’s coastline, the South Coast offers good value for money. Erasmus says that the average price of a beachfront apartment is currently R1-million. Beachfront freehold properties are in short supply, but homes with a good sea view are selling for between R1-million and R1.2-million.

The area has also proved popular with retirees and Erasmus notes that many of the recent sales are to those who plan to retire to the coast in the near future. The coast is ideal for those looking to take things a little easier in their golden years and there are a number of country clubs and a host of beautiful golf courses for those who like to keep active.

Although certain areas tend to become crowded during peak holiday season, overall, it is a quiet, peaceful place to live, work and play. With a huge number of attractions to enjoy and some attractive prospects in the real estate market, the Hibiscus Coast is a well-balanced-destination which will appeal to all kinds of people.
