Stilbaai House Sitter
Deon DK

Possibly: Mossel Bay, George, Knysna, Plett. Melkbosstrand, Blouberg, Tableview, Yzerfontein & Franshhoek, Hermanus, Kleinmond

A professional, sober presence to maintain your investment and peace of mind while you are abroad. A bit more than just a "House Sitter."

Availability: I am emigrating in 12–18 months and seeking a stewardship not a rental.

The Caretaker

55-year-old entrepreneur and software developer. Quiet, sober, and highly disciplined. I work 18 hours a day from home—meaning your property is never truly "vacant."

The Steward

I manage the logistics of your home in Still Bay. From gutter clearing for the winter rains to garden service oversight and general "OCD" maintenance.

The Peace of Mind

Active presence to discourage petty crime and ensure your home remains exactly as you left it—fresh, functional, and ready for your return.

Deon DK. DDLAB Founder.
"OCD neat-freak. Quiet professional."

Why depend on a Professional Steward?

Stilbaai (Still Bay) is a sanctuary, but investment properties need activity to stay healthy. I am a single professional looking for a modern, well-equipped home for 3–18 months while I prepare for my own relocation abroad. Shorter period possible by arrangement.

Technical Oversight

As a software business owner, I bring a high level of technical oversight to your home's systems—from solar/inverter monitoring to security and connectivity.

✔

Zero Lifestyle Impact: No smoking, no drinking, no pets, and no parties. Just me and my workstation.

✔

Maintenance Mindset: I am the type of person who fixes a leaky tap the moment it drips and ensures the garden service is doing their job correctly.

✔

Work-From-Home: My 18-hour workdays mean almost 24/7 enhanced security and a presence for your property.

The Stewardship Commitment

Your home is an investment. I provide the technical and physical oversight required to keep it in peak condition during the off-season. Depending on extent of your needs, we can discuss remuneration for time & services above and beyond the basics.
