Welcome to MUi STAYS

Who We Are

Founded in 2003, MUi STAYS (formerly Whale Watchers) has evolved into a fast-moving property and hospitality management company operating in Muizenberg and the surrounding South Peninsula - Cape Town's vibrant "Sunrise Coast". 

We are a team of experts committed to enhancing community value, sustainably and responsibly through local tourism.

Core Values

Our philosophy is built on the belief that a high-performing property is the result of uncompromising standards and active community involvement. These are our values:

• Performance Excellence: We use integrated systems to ensure a frictionless, 5-star stay every time.
• Reputational Excellence: We build trust through reliability, as proven by our 500+ verified guest reviews.
• Meaningful Relationships: We foster genuine connections between our guests, our staff, and our community.
• Living with Less Impact: Sustainability is a requirement, not an option. We cut waste and future-proof our properties for a greener future .
• Community Involvement: Our "Return on Involvement" means we support local artists and preserve iconic landmarks like the Muizenberg beach huts .
• Responsible Tourism: We leverage our scale to support the local economy, ensuring our guests enjoy exclusive perks at the best neighborhood cafes and surf shops.
  

Hospitality, Not Just Property Management

The MUi STAYS difference lies in our people. Unlike traditional firms that employ "property management staff," our team consists entirely of seasoned tourism and hospitality professionals. Our staff are trained in the art of the guest experience, ensuring that every interaction is warm, personal, and professional.

Stay Local. Experience Exceptional

By combining expert operational systems with a deep hospitality heart, embedded in the heart of communities, we ensure that every stay is frictionless for the guest and high-performing for the property.

Operating as a premium hospitality and property manager

In the local area, we specialise in providing clients with a professional homestay management solution. Working as a premium AirBnB management company and a booking.com property management service. We are able to list your property across more than 250+ marketing channels locally and globally.
