Camps Bay Property Update: September 2025

Camps Bay hardly needs an introduction. With its white-sand beach, mountain backdrop, and a strip of cafés and restaurants that hums year-round, it’s one of Cape Town’s most recognisable suburbs. But beyond the sunsets and cocktail spots, the property market in Camps Bay has seen plenty of activity this past year, both in terms of sales and short-term rentals.

In this blog, we’ll cover:

• Sales Snapshot – How freestanding and sectional title properties performed over the past 12 months.

• What’s on the Market Now – Current listings, price ranges, and average asking prices by bedroom count.

• Short-Term Rental Market Trends – Year-on-year performance in revenue, bookings, and occupancy.

Key Future Dates

The picture above is of steady growth in bookings and revenue, but with slightly lower occupancy. The dip is a natural result of more listings entering the market, meaning guests have a wider choice. Still, with over 48,000 bookings recorded, demand for Camps Bay properties remains strong.
