Happy Friday to everyone except Kevin Meyer, South Africa’s least funny comedian.

I want to live the good life, so I did a little digging to see what it costs to rent an apartment on Clifton with direct access to the beach.

Not just any apartment, but a three-bedroom cracker with a communal pool and a stroll down to Clifton 1st beach, which is one of the beaches that the out-of-towners don’t flock to in their droves during the peak summer months.

The listing on Seeff Properties is asking for R95 000 a month for the privilege of renting, and says the following:

The apartment offers 3 bedrooms, a fully equipped kitchen and a spacious living area. Fitted with finest fixtures and finishes which include climate control. The wrap around balcony has a built in braai.

I should hope so.

Anyway, here are some pictures:

Water shortage or no water shortage, if you’re paying R95 000 a month, you’re making use of that bath.

Seeff clearly understands that this is a listing for an overseas renter, so it even comes with a handy currency converter:

Yes, €5 700 a month sounds much more palatable.
