The team is professional, responsive, and truly understands what it takes to manage short-term rentals effectively.
I’ve been incredibly lucky with Alex Taylor: professional, friendly, and always helpful. He’s handled everything brilliantly - I’d give him 6 stars if I could.
For the past year, my Houst contact has been incredibly helpful - coordinating repairs, upgrades, and even being on-site when needed. Super reliable and accommodating.
The staff is available 24/7. Messages sent are replied to very quickly. The information about the properties is detailed and clear. Everything goes very smoothly.
The house is well maintained and clean, the dashboard provides up to date and historical information & the guests are taken care of.
I have had a brilliant experience renting my property through Houst. Everyone has been very hands on and contactable which has really put me at ease.

Before you list, check local rules on the Dolphin Coast (KwaDukuza Municipality). Compliance typically covers planning/permissions, safety/estate by-laws, and tax/record-keeping.
• Planning/permissions: Check KwaDukuza planning rules and your estate/body-corporate by-laws (e.g., Zimbali, Simbithi). Obtain written consent where required and follow any short-stay restrictions.
• Safety/building: Fit working smoke alarms, provide a fire extinguisher, secure gas/braai areas, and display house rules/emergency contacts. Respect noise, parking and waste rules.
• Tax/records: Declare Airbnb income to SARS; track expenses and keep invoices/occupancy logs. Consider VAT registration if 12-month revenue exceeds R1,000,000.
