Missed the first few episodes? Here are five reasons why Listing Coastal South Africa should top your watchlist this summer, straight from the agents selling Mzansi’s most enviable coastal homes.
1. A Front Row Seat to the Most Spectacular Coastal Homes
From ocean-view penthouses in Umhlanga to modern masterpieces in Knysna, Listing Coastal South Africa opens the doors to some of the most breathtaking properties along our shores. Each episode showcases design, architecture, and lifestyle at its best, and gives viewers a rare peek behind the gates of these multi-million-rand homes.
“Standing at the Knysna Heads and looking over the lagoon and ocean honestly takes your breath away,” says agent Loyiso Mbere. “The homes blend so naturally into the landscape, and once you step inside, the light and design will leave you in awe”.
2. See the Magic Moments You Can’t Script
Beyond the luxury, the series captures the real, unscripted moments, going behind the scenes of South Africa’s real estate.
“My favourite moment was filming in Pinnacle Point Estate,” shares Titan Schutte. “I had sold the plot to the owners years ago, so seeing what they built was special. During the filming, a large school of dolphins appeared in the background; it was absolutely magical.”
These spontaneous, heartwarming scenes remind viewers that South Africa’s coastlines hold beauty money can’t buy.
3. Discover the Personalities Behind the Properties
Listing Coastal South Africa isn’t just about the homes; it’s about the agents who live and breathe coastal real estate. Their passion, banter, and insights bring the show to life.
“Filming the twin penthouses in Umhlanga was incredible,” says Carol Reynolds. “Both my buyer and the crew were impressed! And working with my colleagues at Signature Estate, the jewel in the Sibaya crown, reminded me of how much fun this industry really is.”
Every episode offers a behind-the-scenes glimpse of the people who make South Africa’s property market tick.
4. Uncover Hidden Gems and the Surprising Value Behind Them
Luxury living doesn’t always mean sky-high prices, and Listing Coastal South Africa proves it.
“Viewers are going to be surprised by the great value the Port Elizabeth market has to offer,” says Antoniette Meyer. “Luxury living is affordable in Gqeberha, pleasing to the senses and even more so to the pocket.”
From Gqeberha’s modern family homes to the natural elegance of the Garden Route, the show highlights how beauty and value meet across South Africa’s coast.
5. Enjoy The Beautiful Spirit Of South Africa’s Coastline
More than a property show, Listing Coastal South Africa celebrates the pride, creativity, and connection that define life by the sea. Every home tells a story, not just of design and architecture, but of community, history, and heart.
“It was a ‘bucket list moment,'” Antoniette adds. “Seeing the excitement of homeowners knowing their properties would feature on BBC Lifestyle made me realise how special our coastline really is.”
