About Us
Who We Are
Established in 2023, Anchor Getaways & Property Management was founded on a simple vision – to bring reliability, care, and excellence to every aspect of property ownership and guest experience in Bela Bela and Zebula.
From humble beginnings managing a handful of homes, Anchor has grown into a trusted name in property management, maintenance, and short-term rental services. Our success lies in the relationships we build – with homeowners who entrust us with their investments, and guests who choose us for their holidays, knowing every detail will be taken care of.
We specialise in a wide portfolio of residential properties, commercial spaces, and exclusive bush getaways, ensuring that each home or investment is managed with precision, integrity, and a genuine sense of ownership. Every property is unique, and we take the time to understand its personality – from the way it welcomes guests to the upkeep it requires to maintain its full value and charm.
At Anchor, our goal is to maximise property value, ensure tenant and guest satisfaction, and provide peace of mind to every owner who partners with us. Our hands-on approach, transparent communication, and commitment to proactive maintenance have earned us a reputation for excellence throughout the region.
We see ourselves not just as property managers, but as custodians of homes, experiences, and investments. Whether it’s a family villa nestled among the acacias or a bustling commercial space, we manage each property with the same attention and care we would our own.

Life in Bela Bela
Nestled in the heart of Limpopo, Bela Bela – meaning “the pot that boils” – is one of South Africa’s most beloved getaway destinations, celebrated for its healing hot springs, rich wildlife, and welcoming community spirit. It’s a place where tranquillity meets adventure, where families, travellers, and investors alike find space to slow down, reconnect, and experience the best of the bushveld lifestyle.
Anchor Getaways & Property Management is proud to call Bela Bela home. From the rolling savannah landscapes and breathtaking sunsets to the sense of safety and community that defines this region, it’s easy to see why so many choose to invest, live, and holiday here.
The area is known for its natural hot springs, Big Five game drives, and three top-class golf courses, making it a magnet for both adventure seekers and those craving quiet relaxation. Popular local attractions include Adventures with Elephants, horseback safaris, bush walks, and nearby nature reserves that showcase the region’s incredible biodiversity.
Beyond its attractions, Bela Bela offers a genuine sense of connection – to nature, to people, and to a way of life that values balance and simplicity. Whether you’re spending a weekend in a bush villa or maintaining a long-term property investment, Bela Bela has a rhythm that invites you to breathe deeper and live fully.
