South Coast Accommodation & Tourism
The southcoastaccommodation.co.za website is owned and maintained by Duane Reeve (That’s me) of ‘Futurity Web’ in Cape Town, South Africa. The idea to launch this website came about in July 2010, when I returned home to visit my family in Ramsgate (Lower South Coast). After landing in Durban at King Shaka International airport (for the first time), I had my 1st experience of having to travel that extra distance home, to Ramsgate…
Thereafter, having spent a few days in and around Margate, Ramsgate, Uvongo, Shelley Beach etc, I noticed that things had definately slowed down in this fabulous holiday destination. July, which is generally a busy holiday period, seemed slower than I remembered it to be. Could this be the result of the extra travelling time from King Shaka Airport or the simple fact that South Africans (and Foreign Tourists for that matter) are still struggling to recover from the ‘recession‘ (Financial Crisis)? Or is it simply because the Lower South Coast is fighting to stay noticed, with all the Development happening North of Durban? Is this Development because of the fact that the North Coast is now more accessible than the South Coast?
Well, whatever the reason, I believe the South Coast is still a great Holiday Destination, with so much more to offer now than it had in the past. Yes, it may be a little more time consuming getting there, but it’s worth it.
I decided to build this website to market the Holiday Accommodation available within the area and to highlight activities and/or events taking place within the Lower South Coast. There is so much more to do on the Lower South Coast that people do not know about, so it’s time to expose the Real South Coast…
In keeping with my policy of transparency; I have also created this website to make a little money. Some of the features are paid for services and I also earn an income from advertising on the website. It has cost me money and a huge amount of time getting this website running and I feel that the fees charged for paid/featured listing are very reasonable. Where else can you advertise your Hospitality/Tourism Business for approximately 0.65c per day and with no commission payable, ever? (you deal with your establishment queries & bookings directly!)
Not only that, but I also offer a 100% money back Guarantee and Pro-Rata repayments for early cancellations, if required (subject to terms & conditions).
Personal Information
I thought I would share some additional, personal information here in order to make you aware that this website (and a few others that I run), are in fact owned and maintained by an individual and not some huge corporation. My name is Duane Reeve and I live in Cape Town, South Africa.
I am passionate about everything to do with food and started my working carreer in the Food & Beverage Industry. Life has blessed me with the ability to learn new things and as such I have a diverse work history, having been a Restauranteer, an IT Technical Support Specialist, a Real Estate Agent and I am currently running my own Web-Hosting & Internet Services Company, called Futurity Web. Futurity Web, came about in 2009, after I decided to leave the Real Estate Industry. This has been a major challenge and I have pretty much taught myself everything from Basic Web-Design (learning HTML), to more complex things like Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) and Blogging. Of all these skills, I currently offer SEO advise & services and assist clients with setting up new WordPress Blogs.
