Ikhayalami is South Africa's AI-powered property intelligence platform. Buy and rent verified homes, list privately without agent commission, manage mandates as a private agent or property agency, and run your rentals with Tenant+. Live Trends and Sakikhaya AI deliver instant suburb market reports for Johannesburg, Sandton, Cape Town, Durban, Pretoria and every metro in between — covering residential, commercial, industrial, vacant land, farm, retirement and student accommodation.
One home for everything property — buy, rent, list, stay or manage, without switching apps for each one. Search the way you'd actually say it: typed, spoken, or a photo — in any of South Africa's eleven official languages.
Property technology should not ask South Africans to leave their language, culture or lived experience at the door. We designed translation, trust and connected roles into the platform from the first line of code.
Buyer or seller, host or guest, landlord or tenant, agent or agency — every role gets its own dashboard, its own tools, and its own AI, without you explaining yourself twice.
Trust runs across Ikhayalami: identity checks for Stay, professional and company-registration checks where they apply, protected payment journeys, and privacy controls built into how the platform works.
Every stage of a property's life, one connected system — not four tools pretending to talk to each other.
Bring your listings, language, province and lived experience. Your feedback shapes what ships next — while Ikhayalami is still close enough to listen.
A living intelligence platform that transforms how tenants live and landlords manage — choose your role to begin.
Tenant screening, lease automation, secure document vault, invoicing and statements, automated rent reminders, AI-powered inspection reports with photo comparison, maintenance ticketing, and portfolio analytics — all in one premium command centre.

Whether you're travelling, working, relocating or escaping for the weekend, discover verified furnished homes for business trips, short stays, staycations, student living, remote work, family transitions and flexible extended stays across South Africa.
Property rights, identity, reachability, live-face checks and escrow are combined so neither side has to rely on a profile photo alone.
Title deed, municipal account or authority-to-let evidence confirms the host may offer the home.
A valid ID or passport is read and matched to a live facial capture before hosting is approved.
Every booking guest verifies a mobile number; one verified number can belong to only one Ikhayalami account.
Document details and barcode signals are checked, then a live face is compared with the document photo.
Guests may retake the live check, upload a clearer ID, or send a confirmed identity document to the host for assessment when no fraud conflict is detected.
Keep payment on Ikhayalami. Funds are held securely and released only under the Stay payment rules.
For a booking decision, check-in and applicable guest-register duties, the accommodation provider may securely view verified identity details and the identity-document copy. Live selfies, facial landmarks and raw barcode payloads remain restricted. Keep chats and payments on Ikhayalami and report off-platform requests.
Try loosening a must-have or widening the area — Stay is still growing its verified inventory suburb by suburb.
