TripSpace Global is now free to list
for property, rentals and businesses for sale.
Stays, homes for sale, short-term and long-term rentals, and accommodation businesses for sale, all in one place. What it is, how it works and who it suits.
What is TripSpace Global now? It is a free-to-list marketplace for holiday places and property. On one site you can list or find a place to stay, a home or holiday home for sale, a short-term or long-term rental, and an accommodation business for sale. Owners, agents and brokers can all list, and there is no commission on a sale because TripSpace is not the agent. If something breaks, email [email protected] and it is fixed within 24 hours.
01 / What changedFrom a place to stay to a place for property
TripSpace Global began as a booking site for holiday accommodation. It still is. What has changed is everything around it. Anyone who owns a place, rents a place, wants to sell a place or wants to buy a running accommodation business can now do that in the same spot, with one seller profile and no listing fee.
The idea is simple. People who think about holiday places also think about property: the holiday home they might buy one day, the flat they could rent out, the guesthouse someone wants to hand over. Those are the same people looking for the same kind of place. It makes sense to put them in one room.
Four kinds of listing, one profile
| Listing | Who it is for | What buyers or guests see |
|---|---|---|
| Stay | Hosts of BnBs, guesthouses, lodges, self-catering units and holiday homes | Photos, location, rooms, facilities and a price per night |
| Buy | Owners and agents selling a home or holiday home | Photos, location, asking price and a way to message the seller |
| Rent | Landlords letting short-term or long-term | Property details, rental terms and a way to enquire |
| Take over a stay | Owners selling a running accommodation business | The business, what is included, location and asking price |
Both the Buy and Take over a stay listings work the same way for the seller: a clear description, good photos and a price. You can list more than one property from the same profile, which helps agents and anyone with a small portfolio.
03 / Free means freeWhat “free to list” actually means
Listing on TripSpace Global costs nothing today. There is no monthly fee for putting a property, rental or business in front of buyers, and TripSpace takes no commission on a sale or a rental, because the deal happens between you and the other person.
Selling a property outright
If you own a home or holiday home and want to sell, create a seller profile, choose whether you are an owner or an agent, and add the property. Listings that get enquiries tend to have the same few things:
- Clear photos of the outside, the main rooms and the view or setting.
- The town, province and country set correctly, so the listing shows up in the right searches.
- A plain description of the size, rooms, parking, security and what is included in the sale.
- An asking price, or a clear statement that you want offers.
- An honest line on why it suits a buyer, and what a buyer should know.
Buyers message you through TripSpace. If you also want calls, WhatsApp or email, add those details to your profile. They are only shown to signed-in visitors who tap Contact seller, and you can leave any box empty to keep it private.
05 / Selling a businessSelling an accommodation business
Selling a guesthouse, B&B or holiday-rental business is different from selling a house. The buyer is buying income, reputation and a system as well as bricks. The Take over a stay option exists for that.
A good business listing covers:
- What is included: building or lease, furniture, equipment, bookings calendar, reviews, website, social accounts and phone numbers.
- How it trades: number of rooms or units, the busy and quiet seasons, and how guests find it today.
- Where it is and what the area offers guests.
- The asking price and the reason for selling.
- What you will share with a serious buyer once you have spoken, such as figures and booking history.
Keep the first listing honest and simple. Serious buyers will ask for more, and they will check everything with their own advisers before they sign. That is normal, and it is a good sign when they do.
06 / RentingShort-term and long-term rentals
Short-term and long-term renting are different jobs, and one profile can carry both.
| Short-term | Long-term | |
|---|---|---|
| Typical guest | Holidaymakers, business travellers, families | Tenants, relocating workers, families settling in |
| Stay length | Nights or weeks | Months or years |
| What to show | Photos, facilities, nightly price, location highlights | Rooms, what is included, monthly rent, area and neighbours |
| Best listing | Stay | Rent |
If you are looking, not listing
You do not need an account to look. Pick Stay, Buy, Take over a stay or Rent on the home page, search by town or country, and message a seller through TripSpace when something fits.
A few sensible habits, whatever site you use:
- Visit the property, or send someone you trust, before you commit money.
- Ask for proof of ownership, and use an attorney or conveyancer for any sale.
- For a business, ask to see real booking and trading records, and talk to your own adviser.
- Keep all early conversation inside TripSpace until you are comfortable.
TripSpace Global is a listing platform. It is not an estate agent, and it does not guarantee any individual listing or seller, so the checking is yours to do.

One place for holiday places and property
Most travel sites stop at the booking. Most property sites stop at the sale. People live between the two: they holiday somewhere, fall for it, and start wondering about a place of their own. A single site that covers stays, rentals, property and accommodation businesses fits how people actually think about a place.
It is early, and it will grow in steps. If you own a holiday place, rent one out, want to sell, or are looking for something to take over, listing is free and takes a few minutes.
List a stay, a rental, a property or an accommodation business for free, or go and have a look around.

What can I list on TripSpace Global?
Four kinds of listing: a place to stay, a property or holiday home for sale, a property to rent (short-term or long-term), and an accommodation business for sale, which is listed under the Take over a stay option. One seller profile can carry several properties.
Can I sell my guesthouse, B&B or holiday-home business on TripSpace Global?
Yes. The Take over a stay option is for owners who want to sell a running accommodation business, not just the building. A good listing says what is included (furniture, bookings calendar, reviews, website, social accounts), the location, the asking price and why you are selling. Serious buyers will still want to check the details with you and their own advisers before anything is signed.
Can agents and brokers list on TripSpace Global?
Yes. When you create a seller profile you choose whether you are an owner or an agent/broker. Your name, and your company name if you add one, shows on your listings. Phone, WhatsApp and email are optional and are only shown to signed-in visitors who tap Contact seller. Buyers can always message you through TripSpace.
Does TripSpace Global handle the sale or take a commission?
No. TripSpace Global is a place to list and find properties and businesses. It does not act as the estate agent, does not take a cut of a sale and does not hold or move the money. Price, terms and the legal transfer are agreed directly between buyer and seller, normally with an attorney or conveyancer involved.
How do I contact TripSpace Global if I find a bug or have a problem?
Email [email protected]. Jarrit Hosking handles support personally and aims to resolve bugs and issues within 24 hours. Include the page address, what you expected to happen and what happened instead, and a screenshot if you can.
Is TripSpace Global only for South Africa?
No. Listings are set by town, province and country, so a seller anywhere can list. The platform started with a focus on South Africa and Cape Town, and Cape Town accommodation is a strong part of it today.
Can I rent out a property long-term as well as short-term on TripSpace Global?
Yes. Rentals are not limited to holiday stays. You can list a property for short-term rental, long-term rental, or sell it outright, all from the same seller profile.
