Renting in Camps Bay
Camps Bay rentals split between substantial family villas on the slopes, pools, decks and Atlantic views, and luxury apartments closer to the beachfront. Tenants are typically executives, established families and longer-stay international arrivals who want lifestyle, space and security. Presentation and views drive the rent, and the best homes are leased privately and quickly.
Typical rental range: R 35,000 to R 120,000 per month, depending on size, position, security, and finish. Well-priced, well-presented homes let quickly here.

Who is the best rental agent in Camps Bay?
There is no single best agent for every landlord. What matters is who actually works the area, how they price, and who is accountable when something goes wrong. The Property Bureau is boutique and owner operated, PPRA registered, and has let and managed property on the Atlantic Seaboard since 2007. Every property is personally signed off by the Principal Agent, so the person responsible for your home does not change.
What does a letting agent charge in Camps Bay?
Our fee is a flat 11.5% of monthly rent collected for full management, fully inclusive, no extras. Tenant placement on its own is 7.5% of the annual rental, collected once in month one. Across Cape Town, full management typically runs between 10% and 14%. Most Camps Bay rentals fall in the R 35,000 to R 120,000 per month range, so it is worth working the fee out against the actual rent rather than comparing percentages. See our fees in full.
Do I need a rental agent in Camps Bay or can I self manage?
You can self manage, and some owners do it well. It works best if you live nearby, have time for viewings and maintenance calls, and are comfortable running credit checks, drafting a compliant lease and handling arrears. On the Atlantic Seaboard short letting competes for the same stock, so a long lease has to be priced and presented against that alternative. An agent earns their fee on tenant quality, correct pricing and the parts that go wrong, not on collecting rent when everything is fine.
