Enjoy vibrant coastal-town living in central Gansbaai, minutes from Stanford and Hermanus — a renovated landmark cottage with two private courtyards and proven Airbnb income.
This commercial property presents a rare and exciting opportunity in the heart of Gansbaai, within the scenic Overberg region. Centrally located, the building is an original Gansbaai landmark that has been tastefully renovated and modernised to meet contemporary standards.
Currently, the charming cottage operates as a highly successful Airbnb, accommodating up to 8–10 guests. Its proven track record as a lucrative short-term rental highlights its immediate income potential. At the same time, the property offers exceptional flexibility: the layout can be reconfigured into sought-after office space, with five individual work areas complemented by a spacious communal zone.
The property is equipped with a modern bathroom and a well-designed kitchen featuring premium appliances. Two private courtyards provide tranquil outdoor spaces, while off-street parking for four vehicles adds convenience. Sustainability and efficiency are built in, with solar power, fibre internet connectivity, and low-maintenance aluminium windows and doors.
Commercial zoning enhances its investment appeal, and as the property is held within a VAT-registered entity, acquisition by another VAT-registered purchaser would exempt transfer duties.
Gansbaai itself is a thriving town, ideally positioned just minutes from the charming village of Stanford and only 40 km from the vibrant hub of Hermanus. With exceptional capital growth prospects in the area, this property represents a well-priced investment offering strong returns and significant future potential.
