Share your cottage,
garden flat or studio

Help someone find their feet in Johannesburg.

Every month, we welcome executives, international families and corporate transferees who are beginning a new chapter in South Africa. They arrive with jobs, schools to visit, neighbourhoods to explore and a long list of decisions to make.

Many aren’t ready to commit to a long-term lease in their first week. What they need is a warm, comfortable place to land while they settle into life in Johannesburg.

A peaceful garden cottage. A beautifully furnished studio. A private flat where they can catch their breath, enjoy the sunshine and start to feel at home.

That’s why we’ve created a small, carefully curated collection of short- and medium-term accommodation for our relocation clients.

If you have a cottage, garden flat or studio that you occasionally let, we’d love to hear about it. When we meet a client whose needs are the right fit, we’ll introduce you.

How it works
  • Our cottage collection is intentionally small and private.
  • Your property won’t be advertised publicly or listed on property portals. Instead, it becomes part of our trusted accommodation network that we personally search whenever one of our relocation clients needs a temporary home.
  • There is no exclusivity. You’re welcome to continue advertising on Airbnb or through other channels, and there’s no obligation to accept every enquiry.
  • Joining our database is completely free. There are no listing fees, no hidden costs and no ongoing commitment.
  • Most importantly, you remain in control. You decide your availability, your rental rate, and whether a guest is the right fit for your property.
  • We’re simply here to introduce wonderful people to wonderful homes.
Looking to rent out your home?
  • If you have a full house or apartment that would suit one of our executive families on a longer-term lease, we’d love to talk to you about our bespoke corporate rental service. Get in touch about a mandate.
  • These homes become part of our carefully curated portfolio, where we personally match relocating professionals and international families with exceptional properties that truly feel like home.

We’d love to hear your story. Every cottage has its own character, and every host has a reason they love sharing it.

Tell us about your space. What makes it special? Is it the quiet garden, the birdsong in the morning, the sunny patio, the cosy fireplace or simply the feeling of peace it offers?

If you think your cottage could become someone else’s home away from home while they begin their South African adventure, we’d love to welcome it into our collection.

About the place

A few lines that help me match the right tenant. Optional, but always useful.

Paste a link to photos if you have them (Google Drive, Dropbox, Airbnb listing, etc). Helps me match faster.

A note on how I work — the database is small by design. I’d rather know twenty cottages well than have a list of two hundred I can’t vouch for. Every registration is reviewed personally.

Thank you — you’re on the list.

I’ve received your details and added your cottage to the database. You’ll hear from me when a corporate transferee or expat client is looking for somewhere that matches what you have.

If your availability changes, or you want to take the property off the list, just email me — no forms, no fuss.
