Margate, KwaZulu-Natal | Area Guide & Property Listings
Margate is one of the KwaZulu-Natal South Coast's most recognisable seaside towns, drawing a mix of holiday-makers, retirees, and savvy investors with its beachfront lifestyle and accessible property market.
Life in Margate
Situated along the warm Indian Ocean coastline of KwaZulu-Natal, Margate has long been a favourite escape for South Africans seeking sun, sea, and a slower pace of life. The town has a well-established commercial strip, a variety of restaurants and shops, and a beachfront that remains one of the most popular on the South Coast. Whether you're looking for a permanent home, a holiday retreat, or a rental investment, Margate offers a lifestyle that's hard to replicate inland.
Who the Area Suits
Margate tends to attract a broad range of buyers. Retirees are drawn by the coastal climate and relaxed atmosphere, while families appreciate the established community feel and access to amenities along the South Coast corridor. First-time buyers may find the property market more accessible here than in larger urban centres, and investors are often attracted by the consistent demand for short-term and holiday rentals that a well-known beach destination naturally generates.
Property Mix and Pricing
With 848 active listings on Liivra, Margate has one of the more active property markets on the South Coast. The most common property types are flats and apartments, houses, and townhouses — a mix that reflects both the holiday-apartment culture typical of coastal towns and the growing number of people choosing Margate as a permanent base. Apartments and townhouses can suit lock-up-and-go buyers or those entering the market for the first time, while freestanding houses offer more space for families or those wanting a primary residence with room to grow. Prices vary depending on proximity to the beach, size, and condition of the property, so there are options across a range of budgets.
