Foreshore, Cape Town

Looking for a hands-off investment that pays out reliably? This 29m² fully furnished studio on the 12th floor of The Rockefeller delivers exactly that — and doubles as a stylish CBD-adjacent base if that's more your speed.

The Numbers:
The unit is currently part of the Newmark Hotel Group rental pool on a head-lease basis, generating a guaranteed R10,924 monthly. If you're chasing higher returns, you can opt out of the pool and let it long-term instead — comparable units in the building are currently fetching R16,000–R18,000 a month. There's also a variable-lease option within the hotel pool itself (available for an extra fee) if you want something in between.

Why the Hotel Pool Beats Airbnb Here:
Short-term letting (Airbnb-style) isn't allowed in this building — but that works in owners' favour:

Hotel pool occupancy runs at around 80–100% year-round, even through slower seasons — a rate most Cape Town Airbnb hosts would struggle to match in today's saturated short-let market
Management fees sit at roughly 8%, well below the ~20% Airbnb managers typically charge
Levies and maintenance are covered by The Rockefeller for the duration the unit's in the pool, meaning genuinely passive ownership with none of the surprise expenses Airbnb owners often face

About the Unit:
