Eight cabins. One quiet compounding asset.
A boutique short-stay hospitality build in the foothills of Magoebaskloof — beside Kruger, the waterfalls, the citrus farms. The first cabin is weeks from completion — its income carries operations while the three investor cabins are built. Now scaling to 8.

Three proposals
Choose the structure that suits you.
Three clear paths — the faster your capital comes back, the smaller the bonus on top. Tap any proposal to see the schedule against your selected investment.
Staged entry — proof before the balance
Prefer certainty? Transfer R250,000 first to fund cabin one. Once it is built and you have seen proof of occupancy — confirmed bookings and payment records for that unit — the remaining R500,000 is transferred. The full commitment is contractual from day one: staging changes when the funds move, not whether.
Returns at a glance
How payback scales with your investment.
Total returned to you over the first 24 months at three occupancy scenarios. Row = how much you put in. Column = how full the cabins are.

Payback schedule · selected option
From month 2, you start receiving.
Every milestone — 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24 months — shows how much capital is returned and how much is profit. The bar fills as you approach 100%.

Why this works
Tzaneen has the tourism, not the inventory.
Six reasons this is a strong placement, regardless of which payback structure you choose.
i
Proof of concept exists
Cabin one is weeks from completion — its income carries operations while the investor cabins are built. The construction system, suppliers, and finishing are proven — the risk of "will it work" has already been retired.
ii
Sub-30-day build cycle
From investor capital to revenue-earning unit in under a month. Capital does not sit idle — it begins generating from week five.
iii
Magoebaskloof tourism corridor
Tzaneen sits on the gateway to Kruger, Magoebaskloof, the Modjadji forest and Debengeni Falls. Demand for boutique short-stays consistently exceeds supply.
iv
Low-fixed-cost model
No hotel staff. No restaurant. Cleaning, platform fees, utilities and maintenance run at a flat R2,000 per unit per month — every additional booking flows almost entirely to the bottom line.
v
Real asset, not a paper bet
Your capital becomes a physical cabin on serviced land. If something ever needs to be sold, it's a tangible structure — not a line item on a balance sheet.
vi
First payback in month 2
Most property investments make you wait years. Here cabin one starts paying in month 2, cabin two joins in month 3, cabin three in month 4 — then every month until your chosen structure is paid out.
