How it works

A timeshare vacation ownership is like having a vacation home without the hassle and costs associated with owning a whole property. You get to share the cost of ownership with other cool folks who are also looking to kick back and relax in a prime vacation destination while someone else is looking after all the boring stuff like admin and cleaning… So why bother with the hassle of owning a whole home when you can have a timeshare vacation ownership and still live your best vacation life?
Well, well, well, when you decide to take the plunge and buy a timeshare, you're actually becoming a part-owner of a sweet vacation spot! That's right, you're purchasing the right to use a specific unit or property for a set amount of time each year, whether that's for a whole week of bliss or just a midweek or weekend getaway. And the best part? You're not alone in this! You'll be sharing this slice of paradise with other owners who, like you, have bought a stake in the property. But, with great ownership comes great responsibility, and you'll also be responsible for the upkeep and maintenance of the unit and grounds. But hey, who wouldn't want to help keep their little slice of heaven in tip-top shape?
Oh boy, let me tell you about the perks of owning a timeshare! First off, you'll never have to worry about finding a place to stay when you go on vacation. That's right, you've got your very own slice of paradise waiting for you each year, with access to all the sweet amenities and facilities the property has to offer. From swimming pools to fitness centers, and even some sweet recreational activities, you'll be living the high life. But wait, there's more! Owning a timeshare can actually be a more economical option than booking a hotel room each time you want to get away. That's because you're essentially pre-paying for your accommodation each year, which can add up to some serious savings over time. And let's not forget about the fully equipped kitchens that many timeshares come with, allowing you to save even more dough by cooking your own meals instead of eating out all the time. Plus, timeshare properties are usually located in popular vacation destinations, which means you'll be able to save on travel costs too. No more paying a premium to stay in a desirable location, because you've got your own little piece of paradise waiting for you each year. And if you ever decide that you no longer want to use your timeshare, you might even be able to rent it out or sell it to someone else.
A timeshare occupation calendar is used to manage the allocation of timeshare units or weeks to owners throughout the year. Each resort has its own calendar, which can vary depending on the location, season, and demand. Typically, the calendar is divided into weeks, with each week assigned a number or letter. Owners can purchase a specific week or weeks during a specific season, school holidays or outside of school holidays, depending on their vacation preferences and availability. Some resorts may also allow owners to purchase midweek or weekend stays. Once an owner has purchased their timeshare week, they are guaranteed the right to use that unit for that specific week each year, typically for the duration of their ownership. However, the exact details of the occupation calendar can vary from resort to resort. So whether you're looking to soak up the sun on the beach or hit the slopes in the mountains, a timeshare occupation calendar can help you plan and enjoy your annual vacation with ease and convenience.
When you purchase a timeshare, you're essentially buying the right to use a specific unit or property for a set amount of time each year, along with access to the amenities and facilities available at the resort or property. This can include things like swimming pools, fitness centers, and recreational activities. Many timeshare resorts are also focused on providing family-friendly entertainment, so you can expect plenty of fun activities and events for all ages. It's important to review the terms of your timeshare agreement to understand exactly what is included in your purchase.
Think of it like this - when you purchase a timeshare, you're essentially buying a stake in a property along with other owners. And just like any property, there are ongoing costs associated with maintenance, repairs, upgrades, and hospitality services to keep everything running smoothly. That's where your levies come in - they help cover the costs of keeping your timeshare unit and the resort or property in top shape. But don't worry, these levies are typically a fraction of what you'd pay for a traditional vacation home, and they ensure that everything is taken care of for you when you arrive for your annual vacation so that you can sit back, relax.
Levies are determined by a share block Board of Directors who are accountable to the shareholders and the relevant managing agent is available to assist with any specific levy queries you may have. Most resorts are professionally managed and management is committed to ensuring that our levies are as low as possible while being fair and reasonable to provide owners with access to high-quality amenities and services.
Timeshare is not a traditional investment in the sense that you are not buying an asset that is expected to appreciate in value over time. Instead, timeshare is a lifestyle investment that offers the opportunity to hedge against inflation by pre-paying for future vacations at today's prices.
Yes, many timeshare companies offer exchange programs that allow you to trade your timeshare unit or week for a stay at a different resort or location. This means you can experience new destinations and resorts while still enjoying the convenience and comfort of a timeshare vacation. Exchange programs typically work on a points system, where you earn points based on the size and season of your timeshare unit, which can then be used to book stays at other resorts within the network. You can even exchange your local timeshare for timeshare at an international destination of your choice. The best part is that you can do it all at South African prices, which can make your travels more affordable and accessible. So if you're looking to switch things up and explore new destinations, a timeshare exchange program might be just what you need to satisfy your wanderlust.
The price of a timeshare week can vary depending on a variety of factors, such as the location, size, and amenities of the unit, as well as the season and demand for that specific week. Additionally, the price of a timeshare week may also be influenced by the cost of maintaining and operating the resort, as well as any upgrades or renovations that have been made. Ultimately, the price of a timeshare week is determined by the market and can vary from resort to resort, and even within the same resort depending on the specific unit and week chosen. However, owning a timeshare can be a cost-effective way to enjoy annual vacations in desirable locations, without having to pay full price for a hotel room or rental property.
