☀️ LOVE WHERE WE LIVE | The weekend is calling! 💙

It's Friday, and the weekend is almost here!

After celebrating some of our favourite places around Cape Town, from Durbanville's beautiful neighbourhoods and w**e estates to Big Bay and Table Mountain, we're wondering where your weekend adventures will take you. 🌿

Perhaps a morning parkrun, a leisurely breakfast at your favourite coffee shop, a walk in nature, a visit to a local w**e estate or a relaxing day at the beach?

Or maybe the perfect weekend is simply enjoying some downtime at home. 🏡

💬 What are your plans for this weekend?

📍 Tell us where you're heading, or share a favourite local spot we should explore next!

Here's to making the most of the beautiful places we call home. 💙

Does Airbnb Really Deliver the Best Return?

Higher rental income doesn't always mean better investment returns.

Short-term holiday letting can generate attractive revenue, but how much remains after booking commissions, cleaning, laundry, maintenance, seasonal vacancies and other operating expenses?

And what about municipal rates and taxation?

In our first "Love Where We Live | Property Investment Insights" article, we explore the financial considerations of short-term versus long-term letting, and why sustainable net returns matter more than headline revenue.

LOVE WHERE WE LIVE | Our backyard is a privilege.💙

Some views never lose their magic, no matter how many times you've seen them.

And few places capture that feeling quite like Table Mountain. 🌿

Whether it's taking the cable car to the top for those breathtaking views over Cape Town, exploring the beautiful hiking trails of Silvermine, or simply enjoying the mountain scenery from a distance, we're fortunate to have all of this right on our doorstep.

From peaceful walks surrounded by fynbos to adventurous mountain hikes and unforgettable family outings, Table Mountain National Park offers something for everyone.

It's these incredible places, experiences and everyday opportunities to explore that remind us why we love calling the Western Cape home.

🏡 THE PERFECT MATCH | WOULD YOU RENT THIS? 💙

When looking for a place to call home, we all have different priorities.

Imagine you're choosing between rental homes in the same neighbourhood, at a similar monthly rental.

Everything else is comparable, but you can prioritise just ONE extra feature.

🔐 A — SECURE PARKING
A place to park with confidence.

🛏️ B — EXTRA BEDROOM
More room to work, host or grow.

🌿 C — PRIVATE OUTDOOR SPACE
A garden, terrace or balcony to enjoy.

💬 Which would YOU choose — A, B or C?

All answers are right! We'd love to hear your view and what makes that feature important to you.

At Arc Realty, we're interested in understanding what really matters to people when choosing a home.

Your responses will help shape our upcoming Community Pulse series, where we'll explore what our participating community values and what property owners might learn from it.

💙 LOVE WHERE WE LIVE | SUMMER 2026

Some places just have a way of making you feel at home. 🌿

There's something special about driving along Racecourse Road in Durbanville, beneath those beautiful, familiar trees.

It's the little things we often take for granted — the streets we know, the parks we love, the friendly faces and the communities that make a neighbourhood feel like home.

At Arc Realty, we believe that a home is about more than four walls. It's about the people, places and everyday moments that make life special.

☀️ This summer, we're celebrating the places we love, the communities we call home and everything that makes our corner of the Western Cape so special.

📍 Our first stop: Racecourse Road, Durbanville.

Now we'd love to hear from you!

What's your favourite little spot in Durbanville or the surrounding neighbourhoods? A park, a coffee shop, a walking trail or perhaps somewhere only the locals know?

Tell us in the comments. We'd love to discover it! 💙

LOCAL IS LEKKER 🇿🇦🏉

What a weekend in Cape Town.

From Stellenberg High School’s Flashes taking centre field, to the Bok gees, the crowd, and a flyover that had the whole stadium looking up… South Africa certainly knows how to make an entrance. ✈️

Ag, Suid-Afrika… jy bly darem mooi. 🇿🇦

And if all this talk of flying has you thinking about your next move…
