A clearer journey through student accommodation

ResMate helps students compare accommodation and manage applications, and gives landlords tools for listings, tenants, rent and maintenance. Search content describes the information recorded on the platform. Providers remain responsible for their properties, room availability and accommodation agreements.

A verification badge records a check; it does not guarantee a room, property condition or funding. Confirm the exact residence, costs and accreditation with the responsible provider or institution. For platform help or a correction to a guide, contact support@resmate.co.za. Read our terms and privacy notice for responsibilities and data choices.
