JBayLet was founded in 2018 by a passionate traveler who loved exploring South Africa but struggled to find unique, affordable accommodations outside of traditional hotels.
I noticed that many property owners had spare rooms, holiday homes, or unique spaces that sat empty for much of the year, while travelers were looking for authentic local experiences beyond standard hotel stays.
What started as a small website listing properties in Jeffreys Bay has grown into South Africa's leading platform for unique accommodations, connecting thousands of travelers with hosts across the country.
Today, JBayLet offers everything from beachfront cottages and mountain cabins to city apartments and bush lodges, all while maintaining a commitment to creating meaningful connections between hosts and guests.
