Terms and Conditions

Last updated: September 2026

About this website

This website is operated by Joanne Vermeulen, Ruan Visagie, and Melandri Visagie, trading as The Curated Host, from Sea Point, Cape Town. By using this website, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree with them, please do not use the site.

What this website is for

The Curated Host's website is a showcase and enquiry point for our boutique short term rental apartments, and for property owners considering our cohosting service. Actual bookings, payments, and guest communication for stays take place on Airbnb, a separate platform operated by Airbnb, Inc. and governed entirely by Airbnb's own terms of service. We are not Airbnb, and we do not control how Airbnb's platform operates.

Making a booking

When you follow a Book on Airbnb link on this site, you are taken to Airbnb to complete your booking there. Your contract for that stay is with Airbnb and, depending on Airbnb's own terms, with the listing host. We are not a party to that booking contract, and we are not responsible for Airbnb's platform, pricing, availability, or cancellation policies.

Property owner enquiries

Contacting us by WhatsApp or email about cohosting your property is an enquiry, not a binding agreement. If we agree to manage your property, the specific terms of that arrangement, including fees, responsibilities, and cancellation terms, will be set out in a separate, signed cohosting agreement between you and us.

Acceptable use

You agree to use this website only for its intended purpose. You will not attempt to copy, scrape, or reproduce the content of this site, interfere with its operation, or use it in any way that could damage or disable it.

Intellectual property

The text, photography, branding, and design of this website belong to The Curated Host, unless otherwise credited, and may not be reused without our permission.

No warranty

We do our best to keep the information on this site accurate and current, but we make no guarantee that it is complete or error free. Property availability, pricing, and details are subject to change.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, The Curated Host is not liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of this website, or from your booking, stay, or dealings with Airbnb or any third party linked from this site.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of South Africa. Any disputes will be handled under South African law.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. The date at the top of this page shows when they were last revised.

These terms are intended as a clear, good faith summary of how this website may be used and have not been reviewed by a South African attorney. We recommend a professional legal review before relying on them for full legal protection.
