We do not rank housings, and this page is not a league table. We hold no ratings, review scores, prices or opening hours, so any “best” or “cheapest” list we published would be invented. What we can give you is the full set of housings we have on record, what we actually know about each one, and the specific checks worth making before you choose.
There are 65 housings in our data across South Africa, concentrated in Gauteng, Western Cape and Eastern Cape. We have a contact number for 91% of them and a street address for 98%, which is what the list below is ordered by.

Listings come from the open Overture Maps Places dataset and are shown as recorded there. We are a directory, not the provider. Details change often, so please confirm by phone before you travel. We do not publish opening hours because our source does not carry verified hours.
We hold 65 matching entries. The 20 above are those with the most complete records, not the ones we judge best.
How to Compare Nearby Options
Our method is deliberately narrow, because narrow and true beats broad and invented.
- What we verify: that the business is recorded as trading, where it is, and how to reach it. Entries with a phone number and a street address are shown first.
- What we do not verify: quality, price, waiting times, opening hours, or whether a specific item is available today. Our source carries none of it.
- What we exclude: records outside South Africa, and entries whose category does not genuinely match this page.
- What we never do: accept payment for inclusion or position, or infer a ranking from data that cannot support one.
That means the comparison work below is yours to do. The questions are the useful part.
What to Look For
- Confirm the business is still trading. Phone before you travel.
- Get any quote in writing before work starts or you pay a deposit.
- Ask exactly what the price includes, and whether it includes VAT.
- Check credentials where the work is regulated, using the relevant South African regulator’s own register.
- Keep a reference number for anything you are told over the phone.
Pricing, Availability and Practical Factors
We do not publish prices, fees or turnaround times for third-party businesses, because our data source carries none and publishing a guess would be worse than publishing nothing.
Find and Contact Nearby Options
Each entry above shows what we hold: tap the number to dial, open the operator’s own site where we have one, or open the recorded coordinates in your maps app. If a number rings unanswered, try the website before assuming the place has closed.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you rank these housings?
No. We have no ratings or review data, so we cannot and do not order them by quality. The list is ordered by how complete each record is, so the entries you can actually act on appear first.
How do I find a genuinely cheap housing?
Phone several and ask the same question in the same way, so the answers are comparable. Ask what is included, and ask whether the amount quoted is the amount you will pay. The cheapest headline number is often not the cheapest total.
Where does this list come from?
The open Overture Maps Places dataset, which aggregates openly licensed mapping sources. The most recent source update reflected here is dated 2026-08-10. We publish entries as recorded, so confirm anything that matters before you travel.
Is NearMe.co.za paid to include or rank anyone?
No. Nothing on this page is a paid placement, and there is no ordering you can buy.
Something here is wrong. Can you fix it?
Yes. Tell us which entry and what is wrong on our contact page and we will correct or remove it.
