About The DeepSouth

Your home deserves more than an occasional check-in. The DeepSouth provides considered, reliable property care for homeowners who live abroad, travel frequently or spend part of the year away from Cape Town.

From regular inspections and preventative maintenance to personalised arrival preparation and trusted local coordination, we take care of the details that make owning a home from a distance easier.

Local knowledge. Personal attention. Complete peace of mind.

Our services

Four ways we look after a home, arranged around how often you’re away and what the property needs.

Coastal homes need considered care.

Life on the peninsula brings its own conditions. Salt air, wind, winter rain and periods of vacancy can all affect a home over time. Our property care plans account for visible warning signs and routine maintenance needs associated with coastal living.

Salt air
Window frames, hinges, light fittings and outdoor metalwork are checked for salt build-up and the first signs of corrosion.
Wind
Shutters, gates, roofing and loose garden furniture are checked before and after the south-easter and winter fronts.
Winter rain
Gutters, drains, seals and ceilings are watched through the wet months for blockages, leaks and damp.
Vacancy
Taps are run, rooms aired and post collected, so a closed-up house doesn’t quietly deteriorate while you’re away.

Routine visual checks identify visible concerns. They don’t replace qualified building inspections or specialist assessments, which we can arrange when they’re needed.

A clearer view of your home.

Know when your property was visited, what was observed and what needs attention. Our reporting approach keeps you informed with dated photographs, maintenance updates, expense records and recommendations.

  • Time-stamped photographs from every visit
  • A clear status for every part of the house
  • Nothing over your limit without your approval

Built around three promises.

  1. Your home is checked and cared for.

    Visits happen on the days agreed, by someone who knows the house and the stretch of coast it stands on.

  2. You know what’s happening without having to ask.

    Reports arrive on a predictable schedule. Anything urgent reaches you straight away, with a clear recommendation.

  3. When you return, everything is ready.

    Rooms aired, linen fresh, the fridge stocked and the garden in order. You simply arrive.

Five places we know well.

We work in a compact corner of the South Peninsula and group visits by suburb, which is what keeps them reliable.
