1. Who is running the competition?

The promoter is Sigeuner Guesthouse Marketing.

2. When does it run?

Entries open on 10 November 2026 and close on 18 November. The prize selections will take place on 19 November. Winners will be contacted individually by WhatsApp. The first-prize property will only be named publicly with its owner's permission.

3. Who can enter?

Entry is limited to the 30 guesthouses or self-catering properties in Wilderness, Western Cape, that receive a personal invitation from Sigeuner. The person entering must be at least 18 and must own or be authorised to represent the invited property. Only one entry per invited property will be accepted. The offer applies to a single operational accommodation property.

Sigeuner's employees, agents, competition advisers, suppliers involved in the competition and their excluded associates may not enter.

4. How to enter

Entry is free and there is no need to buy anything. To enter, read these rules and reply YES or 👍 to your personal invitation before the closing date. By replying, you confirm that you are authorised to enter the nominated property and accept these rules. Sigeuner may request the property's name, address and publicly available listing link to confirm eligibility and assess the first prize. If you need help with entry or a copy of these rules, contact the promoter using the details above.

5. What are the prizes?

First prize: One complete Sigeuner photography and marketing makeover for the winning property, at no charge, with an indicated package value of R15,000.

Second prize: A 70% discount entitlement on that same R15,000 package, purchasing the complete package for R4,500, saving R10,500. Taking up the discounted service is optional. The discount must be accepted by 30 November 2026 and the photography date agreed within 15 days of acceptance.

Both prizes concern the same stated package for one property, which includes:

• Up to 30 professionally edited property photographs from one shoot of up to four hours.

• Up to 50 Sigeuner-licensed photographs of Wilderness and its surroundings from the Sigeuner library.

• Freshly written copy for one Airbnb and one Lekkeslaap listing, where applicable.

• 24 ready-to-use Facebook and Instagram posts, comprising 8 per month for three months and adapted for both platforms.

• One reasonable round of copy revisions and travel within the defined Wilderness campaign area.

• Video, drone footage, account management, paid advertising, social-media publishing, third-party listing charges and additional shoots are not included. Owners retain control of their own accommodation accounts. The package details, image licences, delivery formats and any applicable VAT treatment will be confirmed before launch. The first-prize winner is not required to make any payment for the prize.

6. Notification and delivery

Winners will be contacted privately by WhatsApp at the number from which they entered. They will have 11 days to respond. Where a selected entrant is ineligible, cannot reasonably be contacted or declines a prize, an alternative will be selected using the same judging or draw process under independent oversight. Prize work will be arranged for a mutually suitable date within 15 days. The winner must provide ordinary access to the nominated property for photography and necessary information for writing the listings.

Prizes cannot be exchanged for cash or transferred to another property. The first-prize makeover remains free of charge and is not conditional on buying services or accepting additional marketing.

7. Photographs and publicity

The owner may use the delivered photographs and written content to market the nominated property under the agreed commercial licence. Sigeuner retains its underlying intellectual property rights, and photographs from its regional library are provided on a non-exclusive licence.

Sigeuner would love to share the makeover as a before-and-after case study, but permission is entirely optional. Winners may decline to have their names, property photographs, testimonial or marketing materials used in Sigeuner advertising or to take part in publicity. Declining does not affect their prize.

8. Personal information and future offers

Sigeuner will use participants' names, property details and contact information to administer the competition, check eligibility, contact winners, deliver prizes and keep records required by law. Information will be handled in accordance with POPIA and the Sigeuner privacy notice. Competition records required by law will be retained for at least three years and access restricted appropriately.

Entering does not automatically subscribe a participant to future sales messages. Entrants can separately agree to receive the finished case study, later makeover offers or other Sigeuner marketing messages, and may withdraw that consent. To ask a question or exercise privacy rights, contact Pieter.

9. General

Sigeuner will administer the competition fairly and in accordance with applicable South African law. If unforeseen circumstances require changes, entrants' accrued rights will be respected and any changes will be communicated appropriately. Neither prizes promise a particular increase in guest bookings. A free copy of these rules is available on this page or on request from Sigeuner.
