One of the best parts about staying in a hotel is that you never have to clean and change the sheets or towels, but what if you could have that with your own apartment? Aparthotels have become extremely popular in South Africa in the last few years, and while most units are only available for rent, some can be purchased. In many ways they really do offer you the best of both worlds. You can get daily housekeeping, fresh linen, a stocked fridge, and the other amenities hotels offer without a costly “per night” fee, ands an added bonus, you don’t need to purchase any furniture. Aparthotels are also excellent for short-term letting, as your renters can enjoy the hotel’s amenities, too. Unlike regular apartments advertised on Airbnb, most aparthotels will also help you manage and prep your property when you have guests. Luxury is often about doing less, and that’s exactly what aparthotels are all about. I really hope we see more developments like these in the future, as I’d love to get some listings like these!

There’s something about hotels that just doesn’t feel right after a while. Maybe it’s the tiny fridge with overpriced drinks, the “polite but distant” customer service, or the fact that you can’t even stretch out in the living room like you own the place. That’s the thing you don’t own the place. And that’s exactly why short-let apartments are winning. Imagine this: You step into a beautifully furnished apartment, everything feels warm and personal, there’s a full kitchen if you feel like cooking, and no one is knocking on your door at 10 AM asking if you want housekeeping. Whether you’re staying for a weekend or a month, it feels like home just without the stress of maintaining one. At Havens, we offer short-let apartments that give you more than just a place to sleep. You get comfort, privacy, and a space that actually feels like yours. Traveling for business? Need a staycation? Hosting a friend in town? Whatever the occasion, ditch the cold hotel vibe and book a home instead. You deserve it.
