A weekend home can be defined as ‘your home away from home’. Typically within a radius of 1- 2 hour’s drive from your home, therefore making it possible to comfortably go there for weekends and short breaks.

A holiday home is usually too far to reach comfortably for short holiday breakaways, for quick maintenance or emergencies.

The need for a weekend home arises out of the need to:

1. ‘get away from it all’ for a short period of time,
2. go to completely different surroundings,
3. experience a completely different lifestyle,
4. have your batteries recharged,
5. eliminate having to drive endless hours,
6. be within easy reach of your property
7. AND having a great, safe investment at the same time!

It is difficult to beat the versatility of a weekend place. Our clients added more reasons why a weekend home is preferable:

• ‘Those spur of the moment breakaways are possible at the drop of a hat.’
• ‘It is easier to invite your friends to your weekend home; they stay only for 2 days as opposed to a long holiday with a house full of people.’
• ‘We often use our weekend home for our company’s year end functions,and entertaining special guests and clients.’
• ‘We created wonderful memories at our weekend home with our special family reunions!’
