The South Coast lifestyle

Margate and its neighbours Ramsgate and Uvongo have long been popular with inland holidaymakers and retirees. The weather is subtropical, with warm winters and humid summers, and shopping and healthcare are good for a town of its size. Durban is roughly 1.5 hours' drive north.

Comparable markets include Port Shepstone just up the coast, Port Edward at the provincial border and the bigger city of Durban. The provincial capital, Pietermaritzburg, is inland.

Holiday-home checklist

  1. Levies and special levies. Seafront blocks need heavy maintenance because of salt air.
  2. Rental rules. Check whether short lets are permitted, and who manages them.
  3. Seasonality. The town gets very busy at Christmas and quiet in winter; visit off-season.
  4. Services. Ask about water supply and municipal reliability.

See the South Africa buyer's guide for the transfer process, and check your budget with the mortgage calculator.
