A small sleepy town along the southern coast of South Africa has suddenly emerged as the next big thing to happen in the country in terms of real estate investment. We are talking about Stilbaai and Stilbaai property that is attracting investors by droves. Ideally known as 'Bay of Sleeping Beauty', Stilbaai has been a charm for tourists from all around the world. The town is situated on the famous Garden Route and is just 26 kilometers adrift of the N2 main road situated between Mossel Bay and Riversdale.
Stilbaai property is luring investors due to multiple factors. The first universal truth, which holds good for Stilbaai too, is that the value of property commands a high premium in a resort town. With white sandy beaches washed by the waters of Indian Ocean, this town is an obvious tourist hotspot. The growing interest of global investors towards newer and adventurous venues means Stilbaai is always among the top contenders for investors looking to park their extra money in a holiday property in the town.
