Understanding your timeshare

What do I own?

You own shares in a Shareblock Company which leases or owns a resort property and these shares give you the right to occupy a specific unit and week each year, as well as access to all of the amenities and facilities at that specific resort property.

What do I need to know about levies?

• The annual levy ensures that your leisure investment is protected, maintained and upgraded. Levies are spent on the same day-to-day maintenance and improvement projects that one would undertake to protect the value of one’s own home. Most resorts also build up a non-profit reserve of cash, to ensure that the property and its amenities and facilities are maintained and upgraded to the standards expected by timeshare owners.

• Levies are calculated annually by the Resort Management Company and a budget is presented to the Directors of each respective Shareblock Company, for approval. Shareblock Directors are elected at Annual General Meetings and represent the interests of all timeshare owners. Any Shareholder is eligible for nomination and election to the Shareblock Board of Directors, and all Shareholders are welcome to attend the Company’s Annual General

Meeting. Details of the financial status of each Shareblock Company are accessible in the form of the Annual Financial Statement, a copy of which is sent to every owner.

• Levies are payable 90 days before occupation (unless you have banked / rented / placed in rental pool, more than 90 days from the date of occupation, in which case your levy will become payable sooner).

• If levies are not paid at 90 days before occupation date, then occupation of the week is forfeited for that year and the process to cancel the agreement and reclaim the shares in respect of the week will begin.

• Your levies can be paid online at https:// www.southernsun.com/timeshare

What can I do with my timeshare if I do not wish to visit the resort at which I own, in any particular year?

• You can deposit your week with SunSwop (Southern Sun’s timeshare exchange company) for the purpose of exchanging to another resort within the Southern Sun Resorts portfolio, or you can exchange internationally through RCI®.

• You can place your week in the Resort’s rental pool. The resort will then endeavour to rent out your week and the proceeds of the rental will then be shared between own -

ers who have placed the same week in the pool. The resort charges an administration fee to do this. Should you wish to make use of the rental pool, you would need to notify the Resorts Central Administration office in writing at least 90 days before the start date of the week which you own, together with the proof of the levy payment. (Rental pool is the least used option amongst owners wishing not to use their timeshare week in a given year).

• You can give your week to family or friends to use (referred to as a “Private Arrangement”). It is important to notify the Resort’s administration of the name and contact details of the person who will be occupying the unit, prior to occupation. It is also important to note that levies need to be paid when submitting Private Arrangements.

• You can give your week to our Resort agents who will endeavour to rent this for you. In this case (different to the rental pool option), you will receive the full proceeds of the rental, save for a commission which is payable to the Resort’s agent.

What do I do if I wish to sell my timeshare week?

• Speak to our experienced sales agents who will best advise you on market conditions, pricing etc.

Frequently asked questions

How do I deposit my week with SunSwop?

Simply contact the SunSwop call centre and ask them to deposit your week. Remember that your levy will become payable when you deposit the week if its commencement date is more than 90 days away.

* Exception Bantry Bay Refer to the resort for more information

Am I able to deposit only a portion of my week at my home resort (e.g. a weekend or midweek) with SunSwop if I wish to occupy the other portion?

Since 2012 you have had the option to deposit only the portion of the week that you will not be occupying. For example, if you wish to occupy the weekend portion of your week at, say, Drakensberg Sun, you would be able to deposit the remaining midweek portion with SunSwop and receive the relevant trading points for this midweek. This needs to be deposited in advance to receive applicable points according to the SunSwop Trading Points table in this directory. Note that weeks are split into weekends and midweeks according to what resorts allow. Thus, Fri check-in resorts have a three-night weekend (Fri, Sat and Sun) and a four-night midweek (Mon, Tues, Wed and Thurs). Sat check-in resorts have a two-night weekend (Sat and Sun) and a five-night midweek (Mon, Tues, Wed, Thurs and Fri). Peak weeks cannot be split, and need to be deposited in their entirety.

* Subject to change at management discretion

What is the lifespan of my deposited weeks?

36 months from the date of deposit.

Can I cancel the deposit of my week?

No, you can’t. By depositing your week with SunSwop you have relinquished the right to occupy it, and that week may be assigned to another member prior to the submission or fulfilment of an exchange request made by you.

Up until how long before the check-in day can I deposit my week?

You can deposit your week with SunSwop up until two months (60 days) prior to occupation without incurring any penalty. Should you deposit your week within 60 days of occupancy, you will lose a percentage of your SunSwop trading points.

Will I receive extra points for banking my week early?

Yes. All weeks deposited up to 120 days prior to the start date of that week will receive 10% extra trading points against that de-posited week.

Points percentages received for depositing are as follows:

• Up to 120 days prior to occupation: 110%

• 119 - 60 days prior to occupation: 100%

• 59 - 40 days prior to occupation: 80%

• 39 - 20 days prior to occupation: 60%

• 19 days or less: 0%

What are SunSwop Trading Points?

SunSwop Trading Points are the currency you receive when depositing your week with SunSwop. The number of points you get is based on various factors – for example, the resort at which you own, the size of your unit, the unit’s amenities, the season in which you own, the facilities offered at your home resort, and so on.

How do I go about requesting a domestic exchange?

Once you have deposited your week with SunSwop, we recommend that you select a minimum of three resort destinations, as well as three different dates, to increase the likelihood of securing your accommodation request. We also recommend that you request your exchange holiday as far in advance as possible to ensure that we are able to secure the accommodation you want.

Can I request multiple exchanges in the same year?

Yes. As long as you have enough SunSwop Trading Points deposited on your membership file, you can request multiple exchanges in the same year.

Can I request multiple units in the same resort?

Yes. If you have enough SunSwop Trading Points deposited on your membership file, you can request multiple units in the same resort.

Can I reserve consecutive weeks at the same resort?

Yes. As long as you have enough SunSwop Trading Points deposited on your membership file, you can request consecutive weeks in the same resort.

Can I do midweek and weekend exchanges?

Yes. If the resort into which you wish to

exchange allows split week exchanges, you will be able to request either midweek or weekend accommodation. The SunSwop Trading Value Guide in this directory will highlight whether or not resorts allow split week exchanges.

Can I give my confirmed reservation to a friend or family member?

Yes, you can. Simply request a Guest Certificate from SunSwop (R75 per Guest Certificate) in the name of the relevant person. It is important that the arriving guest matches the name on the resort’s reservation system. The resort reserves the right to turn guests away if the name on the confirmation letter or guest certificate does not match the name on the reservation system.

When do I pay the exchange fee for my domestic exchange?

You pay the relevant fee for domestic exchanges upon confirmation of your reservation.

Can I exchange into peak time if I do not own a peak week?

Yes, you can. As long as you have the required number of points for the desired exchange, you can exchange into a peak week. (Only applies to exchanges into Southern Sun resorts)

Can I do split week exchanges in peak times?

No. Exchanges into peak times can only be done in seven-day intervals.

Can I rent out my confirmed exchange or Bonus Week?

No. You may not rent out confirmed exchanges or Bonus Weeks for financial gain.

Failing to adhere to this rule could result in the termination of your SunSwop membership.

What are SunSwop Bonus Weeks?

These are weeks within SunSwop which you can take without using your deposited weeks. Call SunSwop on 011 258 1400 to enquire about SunSwop Bonus Week availability and pricing.

* Terms and conditions apply

What exchange fees will I pay when I use SunSwop?

Exchange fees for 2024 are as follows:

• to Southern Sun Resorts by Southern Sun Timeshare owners – R600

• into another resort in South Africa which is not a Southern Sun Resort: R912

• into an International Resort: R2 458

Can I buy extra points if I don’t have enough points to complete an exchange?

No. You would need to deposit an additional week to ensure that you have sufficient points to complete the exchange.

What happens if I have to cancel my confirmed exchange?

If you need to cancel your confirmed exchange, you will unfortunately forfeit the exchange fee paid, and will be required to pay another exchange fee when you next do an exchange. However, depending on when you cancel the confirmed exchange, you will be entitled to a refund of the SunSwop trading points that were used for the exchange.

The number of points refunded would be determined as follows:

• for exchanges cancelled up to 60 days prior to check-in date: 100%

• 59 – 40 days prior to check-in date: 80%

• 39 – 20 days prior to check-in date: 60%

• 19 – 0 days before check-in date: 0%

How do I go about requesting an international exchange?

We recommend that you select a minimum of three resort destinations, as well as three different dates, to increase the likelihood of securing your accommodation request. We

also recommend that you request your exchange holiday as far in advance as possible to ensure that we are able to secure the accommodation you want.

How will I know which international resorts I can exchange into?

Refer to your international Resort Directory from RCI®; alternatively, visit the website at www.rci.co.za.

Do I have to deposit my week before requesting my international exchange?

Yes, you must have points on your file to place a request.

When do I pay the exchange fee for my international exchange?

You pay the relevant fee for international exchanges upon confirmation of your reservation.

TRADING POINTS GUIDE

TRADING POINTS GUIDE

To use your trading points you need to know the value of the week that you own. To find this, you would need to go to the relevant page in this directory which reflects the calendar and points value for the geographical region in which your resort is located. It is important that you know the week number and the size of the unit which you own.

If, for example, you own a week at uMhlanga Sands, you would refer to the page which shows the values for the KZN North Coast region.

Now refer to the calendar which shows the week numbers to determine the colour of the week owned for the particular year in which you wish to deposit your week, e.g. week 30 = Red for 2012.

Take a look at the points table which shows your resort and look specifically for the full week value of a red week in the unit size which you own, e.g. if you own a 2 bedroom unit, the value of the week would be 6450 points.

To determine the value of the week into which you wish to exchange, you would use the same method, e.g.:

• select the region in which the resort is situated

• select the resort into which you wish to exchange

• check the colour of the week into which you wish to exchange by using the regional calendar

• select the unit size required E.g. if you wished to exchange into a 0/04 unit in week 20 (white week) at uMhlanga Sands, the value required for this exchange would be 3575 points.

PLEASE NOTE: The calendars and trading points provided throughout this directory were correct at the time of printing and subject to change without notice.

** PLEASE NOTE that some units cannot accommodate six adults. The unit might have sleeper couches that can only fit children 12 years and younger. Kindly confirm this with your call centre agent.

The trading points received for depositing your week with SunSwop are valid for the current year, plus two years.

Note: The OCC column lists the types of units and the number of people that can occupy the unit. E.g. 3/08 means 3 bedrooms in the unit that sleeps 8, this includes a sleeper couch suitable for young children.
