I will be renting out my primary residence in Cape Town for a few years while I work on the Wild Coast rent-free. Can I claim a quarterly site/property visit/inspection as an expense for tax purposes?

Is this your only reason for tax returning to Cape Town and going to the property?

Provided that is the case, you could be able to deduct this from the rental income earned.
