| FYI: Woodstock was regarded as part of the Southern Suburbs, but this caused confusion as the area extends deep into District 6 and Culemborg. Recently the City of Cape Town clarified this by making Woodstock part of the City Bowl. The largest newspaper property classified, The Weekend Argus Property Supplement, was the first to twig to this fact and now places Woodstock and her sub-areas under "City Bowl". |

Hello MiY4Gi and chrystal,
Thanks for the location suggestions.
I will pass these along to our development team so that they can review this further and make any appropriate changes or additions.

Hi Blake,
We live on the Hibiscus (South) Coast of KZN and it is incredibly frustrating to locate ads in our area as it is just so vast and the Chatsworth / Toti people dominate the "South Coast" area
ie: A lot of people advertise Chatsworth and Amanzimtoti under the South Coast Area which is just so far away from the South Coast.
Your areas show
Other_Greater_Durban
North_Coast
South_Coast
Battlefields
Natal_Midlands
Drakensberg
Please could you split the South Coast into the following 4 areas as the area span approximately 179 km and there is no way to narrow the search unless using keywords which a lot of our locals don't understand.
Lower South Coast (Port Edward to Marina Beach)
Hibiscus Coast (From Ramsgate to Annerly)
Upper Hibiscus Coast (From Southport to Hibberdene)
Upper South Coast (From Hibberdene to Durban including Amanzimtoti)
If you can only make one change then just add area Hibiscus Coast under the South Coast area (Port Edward to Hibberdene) which is a 72km stretch and even that would make the site far more user friendly for our locals.
We would be very grateful if this is at all possible and thanks for a great site!
Regards
SusiQ |

Hi Gummies,
Thanks to your feedback and input we have made a few changes to our locations.
We have now added Amanzimtoti as a location in Durban South Suburbs.
This should reduce the number of South Suburb ads misplaced in South Coast, by better showing how far the South Suburb extend.
Please let us know if you'd like to see any more locations, changes, or any other suggestions or input you may have.
Thanks for choosing Gumtree!

HI Please add Century City under Northern Suburbs as there is no where to currently put these properties and it is one of the fastest growing areas in the Western Cape?
Thanks Clairanne |

Hi Blake.
We are still getting more and more people posting for Toti, Chatsworth etc on the South Coast area. Please could you consider changing the name "South Coast" to "Hibiscus Coast" or create a separate area called that as then hopefully we won't be offered houses and items for sale over 150km away.
As always, greatful for your super site! |

Hi Blake, Thanks, I love the speed of your techs getting the areas done! Well done.
I hope you guys don't mind me "reporting" ads that are in the wrong area. If you do, just give me a shout and I'll cease and desist )
Have a great week! |

I find it frustrating that there is no area allocation for Woodstock & Observatory... These are student towns with lots of accomadation turn over
but nowhere to post.

Hey Chucolita,
Thanks for the feedback.
I've passed this along to our development team to review.
While they're looking into this, you can always post your ads in the "Cape Town/ Western Cape > Cape Town" region of the site.
Please let me know if there is anything else I can help with.

Your map reference shows obscure residential site where Nicolson & Bulwer intersect.
There is no landmark in your choice of landmarks, which is anywhere near the required location.Clark road is the second to last intersection before King Dinuzulu south(going north)and one block from the Davenport Bulwer road intersection.
My ad reference is code 1084.
Thank you

Hi there hpysob,
Sorry that you're having issues with the map in your ad.
May I suggest editing your ad informing users that your map is not appearing accurately.
Our map system is based on the Google Maps platform. If you are able to achieve the correct map results through Google Maps, may I suggest trying to use that exact address in your ad.
Please contact the Gumtree Community Support directly if you are still having issues and they will be able to investigate the matter for you.
