Blythedale Coastal Resort

South Africa occupies the southern tip of Africa; its 1,600 mile coastline stretches from the Namibian border on the Atlantic coast, south around the Cape of Good Hope and then north to the border of Mozambique on the Indian Ocean. This vast country measures some 1000 miles from north to south and approximately the same east to west.

Geography
South Africa is located at the southern-most tip of Africa, with a long coastline and a variety of climate zones, from the extreme desert of the southern Namib to the lush subtropical climate in the east. The interior of south Africa is a giant, flat and sparsely populated scrubland, which contrasts the eastern coastline with its lush and well watered climate similar to the tropics. The extreme southwest, however, has a climate similar to that of the Mediterranean with wet winters and hot dry summers. South Africa is proud of its heritage. Known as "The Rainbow Nation", it has 11 official languages, with English one of the main ones. Sports and leisure activities play an important role to all South Africans and vary from golf to water sports and rugby. The country boasts some of the most breathtaking scenery and an amazing display of wildlife, including the Big Five (lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo and rhino). A South African safari always evokes mystery, wonder and, above all, adventure.

Property Market
In recent years, South African property has been an excellent investment, particularly in the most sought after coastal regions, where prices have risen the fastest. Rental yields and letting seasons vary a little with the region and town. Gross rental yields are from about 5-10% per year in most areas.
Buying a home in South Africa is an investment in lifestyle that is difficult to beat. South Africa has a range of areas with an urban feel as well as agricultural and rural areas, coastal properties and mountain retreats. Residential homes range in price and position and are generally more expensive in the outlying suburbs.

 

Property Hotspot

Cape Town is one of the most popular tourist destinations in South Africa due to its climate and natural setting. The city plays host to many natural features that draws crows each year, including Table Mountain National Park. The city's beaches are always popular with residents and tourists alike. Almost 1.5 million tourists visited Cape Town during 2004 with 1.6 million expected during 2007. With tourism at a high, areas such as Camps Bay and Newlands tend to be a firm favourite within the city for overseas investors.
