How it works
Enjoy a wonderful family holiday in one of our selection of homes
Using the search engine options or click-map on the front page simply select a holiday home of your choice. Homes have been submitted directly by the owners and by sending an e-mail you will deal directly with no comissions; no agents and through your own arrangements.
Accommodation rates obviously vary and even though a rate is quoted, owners are often flexible and rates will depend on length of stay and the popularity of the season in which you are enquiring. As a guideline accommodation rates are usually double in December than an off-season booking and mid-way priced during the other South African school holidays
We do encourage owners and tenants alike to enter into a short written agreement and to pay/receive deposits usially approximately 50% of the full aount well before the time.
We will try and answer some often asked questions below, if you do have any further inquiries please do not hesitate to send us your questions
What will holidayhrentsa do on home bookings?
We are merely a portal for tenants and owners to make contact, the rest is largely up to the parties concerned but we will gladly assist with a "pack" which we supply for a small fee of R250 which could be shared between the parties.
This pack consists of suitable agreements and some guidelines and suggestions for the parties to consider. This is done on a non profitable basis just to assist where possible.
Do I pay commissions?
NO, the owner has incurred listing costs to be featured on the site, no other costs are incurred by either party.
Why is there a range of rentals quoted?
The maximum quoted is usually for the peak Christmas/New Year season and the minimum applies to an off-season booking. The prices for the other school holidays (excl. Dec/Jan) are usually at around 50% of the maximum - these are bargains not to be missed! A lot of our resort areas are far more enjoyable during the less popular holidays and even off-season if school going children are not an issue for you.
Are rentals negotiable?
Yes, most owners will consider rates in accordance with length of stay; number of persons and seasonality.
The prices seem a little high?
When one compares pricing to commercial establishments, with particular consideration to numbers of persons you will find the home rental option is a lot less expensive - as an example, we can rent you a 6 bed home on the Port Alfred Marina with a private jetty for only R100 per person per night off season and approximately R200 per night in peak season/Christmas? Now thats good value!
Why then does it seem cheap?
In most cases, the homes are privately owned and standing empty, for obvious reasons, owners are only to glad to get an income from their assetts when they are not being used.
What if anything has gone wrong or what bad experiences have occurred?
The worst that can happen is the tenants expectation of the house and reality end up being dissapointing. This can be avoided by ensuring tenants have a good look at the home, ask questions but most of all...please communicate properly about your needs and a lot more, this will help parties to ensure the correct match. As an example, we had a client who was allergic to cats but didn't tell anybody! They had unfortunately selected a house that had cats normally living in it.
Why do you recommend a contract?
Simply to protect all concerned and to avoid unnecessary complications. We are all human, we forget things, why not take the risk out of the booking process.
