INDEPENDENT LIVING IN COTTAGES

Our 25 en suite cottages are designed for fully independent retirees and are nestled within beautifully maintained, water-wise gardens. A 3-course midday meal is included in the price. The estate offers 24-hour security for complete peace of mind, as well as parking bays.

Cottages are available to rent, with a limited number offered on a refundable life care contract basis—subject to availability. Prices range from R530,000 to R1,000,000, with annual tariff adjustments effective from 1st April each year.

Due to their popularity, cottages are in high demand and a waiting list is in place.

Nursing services are available in case of emergency.
