About our agency

Our mission

"Stay In Cape Town" was founded in 2005 with a strong focus on property management through short-term letting. With nearly 20 years of experience in the industry, we pride ourselves on maintaining the highest level of integrity, which is our most prominent attribute. As property managers, our primary goal is to handle our clients' investments with utmost care, allowing them to have minimal involvement while receiving a rental revenue check and monthly income statement. We have established a robust infrastructure, along with well-defined protocols, procedures, and systems, ensuring complete transparency, seamless operations, and punctual accounts and payments.

In addition to our expertise in property management through short-term letting, we are thrilled to announce that we have recently expanded our services to include property sales. As we have established strong relationships with numerous investors, we always have a pool of potential buyers readily available. This advantageous position allows us to effectively market your apartment while simultaneously securing bookings. With our comprehensive marketing strategies and extensive network, we can maximize the rental potential of your property while actively pursuing sales opportunities. Whether you're looking to rent or sell, we are dedicated to providing exceptional service and delivering successful outcomes for our clients.

CEO/ Founder

Koos Spangenberg

Koos Spangenberg has been in the hospitality industry since 2003 and has gained enormous experience in the field. In his first job he worked for a Tour Operating company where he also started to manage a couple of self-catering apartments owned by his Director. He soon realised the huge potential of joining the two fast growing industries together, namely the Tourism and Property industry. He left the company in 2007 as an entrepreneur to start his own property management company and after spending a productive two years growing his portfolio “Stay In Cape Town” was born in 2009. He has since worked tirelessly to build his portfolio up to over 60 properties which the company now manages in Cape Town Central and the Atlantic Seaboard. Koos’ hands on management style and enthusiasm for this industry has resulted in building long lasting relationships with both owners and guest. His consistent strife for excellency in all areas of his business serves as an inspiration to his staff who are loyal supporters of achieving the best in everything they do.
