Camps Bay sits on Cape Town's Atlantic Seaboard, between the Twelve Apostles and a wide white beach lined with palms and restaurants along Victoria Road. Houst manages short lets across the suburb, from apartments on the beachfront strip to villas with sea views on Geneva Drive and The Meadway, and handles pricing, guests and cleaning so you earn without the day-to-day work.

List on Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo, Google and more. Listing on several platforms reaches international holidaymakers, families on summer breaks, groups booking villas and couples looking for a beach stay.
Our pricing data puts a two-bedroom, one-bathroom short let in Camps Bay at an average of R4,667 a night with 73% occupancy. That works out at around R1,235,000 a year before costs. We took four readings across the suburb, on Victoria Road, Camps Bay Drive, Geneva Drive and The Meadway, and averaged them. Nightly rates ran from R4,146 on Camps Bay Drive to R5,521 on The Meadway.
Demand peaks from December to February, when summer and the festive season fill the beach, and stays good through spring and autumn. Winter is quieter, with more longer stays. Figures will vary with size, finish and exact location.
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.

Houst works on a single commission, starting from 14% for full-time management and from 20% for part-time, set according to your property and its location. There are no setup fees and no monthly charges. You only pay when we earn you a booking, so our income is tied directly to yours. That rate covers the full service: dynamic pricing, professional photography, listings across multiple platforms, guest vetting and communication, check-ins, cleaning and turnover coordination, and a dashboard that shows your performance in real time. No hidden extras, no surprise line items, just one transparent percentage on the revenue we generate. For owners weighing up management against going it alone, or running more than one property, that structure keeps the maths simple: you can see your likely net return after our fee before committing a single rand.

Short lets in Cape Town fall under the City of Cape Town's by-laws and national building regulations rather than a dedicated short-let licensing regime. Properties used for short-term accommodation may require consent from the City, and sectional title owners should check their body corporate rules and scheme management rules, which can restrict or prohibit short-term letting. All rental income from short-let properties is taxable under South African income tax regulations and must be declared. The regulatory environment is evolving and varies by property type and zoning. Our team manages compliance as part of the service, and you can read the full detail in our guide to Cape Town's short-term rental regulations.
Camps Bay suits short lets because the beach and the views do most of the selling. Camps Bay Beach and the tidal pool draw crowds all summer, Victoria Road has restaurants and bars facing the sea, and the Twelve Apostles and Lion's Head frame almost every property. The city centre and the V&A Waterfront are around 15 minutes away by car.
Housing ranges from apartments on and just behind Victoria Road to large villas on the slopes around Camps Bay Drive, Geneva Drive and The Meadway, many with pools and terraces, which suit families, groups and longer summer stays. We manage across the Atlantic Seaboard, including Clifton, Bakoven, Bantry Bay and Sea Point. For the wider city, see Airbnb management in Cape Town.
