Gqeberha · Nelson Mandela Bay · the coastal belt and the city suburbs
Rentals · Gqeberha · Nelson Mandela Bay
We let residential property across the Bay: flats and townhouses near the beach and the university, family homes in the established suburbs, and houses on the coast road. Whether you own it or want to live in it, start here.
Landlord or tenant — both start with a message
Both agents take their own calls and WhatsApp messages. If it is urgent, WhatsApp is the faster route.
We look at the property, tell you what it will realistically let for, and market it properly. If the figure you were hoping for is not what the market is paying, you hear it from us before you spend money on anything.
Rentals move quickly when a property is decent, so the advantage goes to the person who is ready. Tell us the budget, the areas and the dates, and we come back with places that actually fit.
Placement only — we find, check and place a tenant and hand you the lease — or the full job, where we collect the rent, handle the maintenance and keep you informed without being asked.
Where our rentals are
The same property in two suburbs can be two different businesses. Here is what letting actually looks like in the areas we are asked about most.
The most liquid letting market in the metro. Holiday demand peaks over December and Easter while student letting carries the rest of the year, so an owner can plan the calendar around both.
Beachfront apartments, university demand, and the busiest letting market in the Bay.
Cottages and smaller units let fast and stay let. Well-presented family homes hold their value best, and the central position keeps access simple for an owner who lives elsewhere.
Central, leafy and established — where a lot of Bay families want to live.
Steady long-let demand, with the larger homes also working as guest accommodation. Parking and any municipal zoning for commercial letting should be confirmed before an owner counts on that income.
Character homes with genuine sea views, between the beachfront and the harbour.
Reliable long-term demand from families and professionals, and a level that makes buy-to-let with a bond workable. Compliance certificates should be current before a lease starts.
Neat, well-kept and practical — a turnkey home with N2 access.
For landlords
Fees, mandates and what management covers are agreed in writing before any property goes live. Nothing on this website is a quote.

Rental questions
Letting and management fees are agreed in writing before we start, and they depend on whether you want placement only or full management. We do not publish a percentage on this website because it is a number we agree with you, not a claim we make to the street.
Yes — affordability, employment, references and credit are checked before a lease is signed. A tenant who cannot pay costs you more than an empty month, so this is the part we do not rush.
We tell you what is worth doing and what is not. Some repairs pay for themselves in the first month of a better tenant; others are money spent to make the owner feel better. We will say which is which.
Yes, and a good number of our landlords are. Repairs, inspections, arrears and renewals are handled on your behalf, reported to you in writing, and the rent is paid over on an agreed date.
It depends on the property, the figure and the season — nobody honest gives you a guaranteed number of days. What we can commit to is that the property is described accurately, shown properly, and that you hear about every serious enquiry.
Still deciding whether to let or sell?
That is a common place to start, and it is a conversation rather than a decision. Talk to David about letting, or Donald about selling, and compare the two honestly before you commit to either.
