Morgan Bay is a small Wild Coast village between Haga-Haga and Kei Mouth, known for its beach, lagoon and the high cliffs south of the bay. Most homes are holiday houses or belong to a small permanent community, and visitor numbers rise sharply over holiday seasons.
As in other remote coastal villages, LPG is the practical choice for cooking and hot water, and helps keep houses running through power interruptions. Installers usually travel in from East London, so planning, access to the house and grouping several jobs into one visit all help keep costs down.

Get Gas Installer QuotesWorth Knowing
- Book before the holidays. Installers are busiest just before December and Easter, so arrange checks and installations well in advance.
- Group the work. If you need a hob fitted and an old geyser serviced, ask for both in one visit to avoid paying travel twice.
- Leave the gas off when you lock up. Close the cylinder valve before leaving and check for any smell when you return before lighting anything.
- The sale will need a CoC. Holiday homes with fixed gas need a valid certificate of conformity before transfer, so do it early in the sale process.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to service a gas geyser in Morgan Bay?
A gas geyser service is typically R850 to R1,900, plus a travel line since installers usually come from East London.
Do installers come out to Morgan Bay?
Yes, installers based in East London travel to Morgan Bay and the other Great Kei coastal villages. Tell us when someone can give access.
How often should a holiday home gas geyser be serviced?
Once a year is a good rule, ideally before the main holiday season, as units that stand unused can develop problems with burners and water valves.
Are gas cylinders stolen from holiday homes?
It happens in many coastal villages. A bolted, lockable cage makes theft much harder.
Can I run a gas heater in the bedroom overnight?
No. Unflued gas heaters should only be used in a ventilated room while someone is awake, and turned off before sleeping.
What gas certificate do I need to sell my holiday home?
A certificate of conformity covering the fixed gas installation. A whole-house CoC usually costs R1,600 to R3,800.
