Vacant erfs available from R360000 to R380000 - from 711 to 800 sq.m. Struisbaai Property Market : The property market consists of about 4500 properties in the whole area. Many of the investors view the “southernmost tip of Africa” as the perfect location for a retirement or holiday home. Reasons for the area’s increasing popularity are its seclusion, safety and lack of industrial activity, whilst pollution is virtually unknown. Prices are also still reasonable in despite the very strong capital growth achieved over the last two years. Prices for stands in beginning-2004 were selling at about R50 000 while homes were selling from about R350 000. Stands (vacant erfs) are being marketed from about R360 000, whilst homes are being marketed from about R650 000 – showing a dramatic increase of about 700% in stands / vacant erfs and about 100% increase for homes. Prime property on the beach carried in 2004 a price tag ofup to R650 000 for stands and up to R3,5-million for houses. The homes in this end of the market has not achieved the same dramatic increases experience in the lower priced properties. Background Information : Situated one kilometer from L’Aghulas, the southernmost tip of Africa, Struisbaai is one of the Cape's best kept secrets. This small, picturesque coastal village boasts the longest white coastline in the Southern Hemisphere, ideal for safe bathing, boating and watersports. The migrating southern right whale herds pass this hospitable coast to mate and calve in the secluded enclaves along the shoreline, making Struisbaai an imperative destination forthe nature lover. Struisbaai is particularly well known for its excellent fishing There is some debate as to the origin of the name Struisbaai. Some authorities believe that it means 'strawbay' and it earned this name by the fishermen's cottages that were originally built of straw. Others claim the name Struisbaai is derived from the Dutch vogelstruijs or 'ostrich'. The low shrub-covered terrain bordering the sandy coast is certainly ostrich country and you will still see a good number of these giant birds sharing the land with dairy cattle and merino sheep. According to legend, Struisbaai is named for the size of its beach - an old Nederland word for "huge". Major Attractions : - Visit the southern-most tip of Africa at Aghulhas, the official position of the tip is 34° 49' 58" south and 20° 00' 12" east. A cairn marks the tip's exact position. It is at this longitudinal point that the Atlantic and Indian Oceans meet. - Hotagterklip Cottages is fishermen's cottages at the entrance to Struisbaai, built by early fishermen. Some of the cottages are now used as holiday homes and have all been declared as national monuments. They are oftenfeatured in the paintings of many South African artists. The unusual name of this little place comes from the days of the first wagon track, when a stone outcrop imposed a sharp detour on all travelers. Most of the old cottages were allowed to fall into ruin, until recently when the original cottages have been expertly restored. - The famous Aghulhas lighthouse, a very popular attraction, was built to aid the early explorers on their passage of the rough seas off Cape Aghulhas. It is the second oldest working lighthouse in Southern Africa. Stone mined from the adjacent limestone quarry provided the raw materials for its construction. The building also houses a unique lighthouse museum and restaurant. Remains of ancient stone fish traps used by the Khoe Khoe people can be seen to the east of the lighthouse. - Shell shops are a must visit for the shell collector and browser. Collectors and casual beachcombers prize the delicate shell of the Argonaut alike. Their occurrence on South African beaches is somewhat seasonal and stranding is most frequent between April and August at the end of the spawning season - Graveyard of ships, the Zoetendal, Birkenhead and Arniston are some of the many shipwrecks found along the Aghulhas coastline. Showpieces from these shipwrecks are on display at the Bredasdorp Shipwreck Museum. - Anglican Church is a small restored thatch-roof church, which is a national monument. It is a much sought after venue for small weddings and services. Outdoors Activities : - The quant fishing harbour is at present being used by both fishing and ski boats. - Walk along the 14 km uninterrupted white beach called “Die Plaat”, and look for some unique Nautilus shells along the shoreline of the bay. Enjoy swimming or sunbathing at this popular swimming beach. There are change-rooms alongside the beach, with showers and toilets. - Boat based whale watching from the Struisbaai harbour is a popular attraction when these gentle giants arrive from the arctic waters to mate and calve during May to December. They can be seen from L´Agulhas to Infanta with the biggest concentration in the bay at De Hoop / Infanta. During this period they are visible from the beach. They play or move about slowly with their calves. The best vantage point is at Koppie Alleen in the De Hoop Reserve. The local whale population is increasing at 7% per annum.

Empangeni & Richard Bay Background Information : Property Information : Empangeni and Richards Bay is experiencing a severe shortage of residential, commercial and industrial stands and there appears little prospect of the local authority being able to meet demand in the near future. The continual expansion of industries around the deep water port and rise in demand for homes has exceeded the capacity of the local authority and that while plentiful land is available, it has not been zoned or serviced. Current major developments include a new R350-million shopping centre of 30 000 sqm being developed in the Richards Bay CBD with Game as the anchor tenant. Meanwhile, the Super Spar Centre is being extended and a final announcement on the planned R700-million Tata Steels ferrochrome smelter is expected soon. New capacity for residential development is being planned by the municipality, this will only come on stream once infrastructure is in place and is not expected for about two to three years. The road link between Richards Bay and Empangeni, for example, is presently under construction and the upgrade will only be completed in three years' time. There has been a new wave of sectional title developments in Richards Bay as developers have sought to address the chronic under-supply in relation to demand. Sectional title units also sell well in the town because they tend to be more affordable than freestanding properties. The complete drying up of new residential building land in the town. This, is in spite, of developers eager to launch new projects. He believes the local authority, the City of Umhlatuze, has so far neglected the rezoning process to readily make new building land available. Sectional title units start at around R300 000, with top-of-the-range units reaching around R1,2-million, while freehold homes start at around R650 000. However, all spare capacity in terms of land for new sectional title developments has now been taken up and as a result, traditional freehold homes are rapidly being subdivided and converted into duettes. Meanwhile, buy-to-let sales are continuing at a steady pace, despite the fact that the rental market is currently oversupplied and that returns on these investments have fallen. "Investors see the area continuing to expand and rentals showing strong growth in the wake of more industrial and commercial projects. Empangeni Background Information : History : In 1851, the Norwegian Missionary Society established a mission station on the banks of the eMpangeni river. The river was named after the profusion of Mpange trees (Treema guineensis) growing along its banks. The mission was later moved to Eshowe, 61 kilometres north-west. In 1894 a magistracy was established. The Zululand Railway reached the town in January 1903 and linked the area to Durban and Eshowe. The government planted eucalyptus trees in 1905 as part of an experimental timber plantation. The plantation was a success and led to a large scale planting along the coastal belt. In 1906 Empangeni became a village. Rapid expansion began when a sugar mill was erected at Felixton. The establishment of the Empangeni Sugar Mill set the area on the road to rapid development. Empangeni was officially proclaimed as a township on 15 January 1931 and declared a borough on 13 October 1960. General : Empangeni is a town in KwaZulu-Natal Province situated only 15 kilometers from Richards Bay the main harbour town in KwaZulu Natal. Empangeni is approximately 160 kilometres north of Durban, situated in hilly country side of the Uthungulu District, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. The City of uMhlathuze was formed by joining the towns of Empangeni and Richards Bay together. Empangeni overlooks a flat coastal plain and has a sub tropical climate with an average climate of 28.4oC in summer and 14.5oC in winter.
