KwaZulu-Natal
KwaZulu-Natal offers plenty of rural wonders. The Midlands area
alone has a host of retirement villages within two hours’ drive
of Durban. Have a look at St John’s Village in the heart of the
KZN Midlands, as well as the variety of offerings from the Amber
collection in the same area. The Evergreen Lifestyle group has
villages in Hillcrest, Zimbali and Umhlanga Ridge.

Eastern Cape
The Eastern Cape, with its charming little towns, hundreds of
kilometres of uncrowded beaches and gorgeous nature reserves,
is possibly the most underrated province, so it’s a bit under-
represented, but new developments are popping up all over the
place. Settlers Park in Port Alfred, for example, offers coastal small-
town living at its best.
The Overberg region in the Western Cape, best known
for whale watching, glorious beaches, coastal paths and
fishing villages, has some lovely quiet country-style estates,
like Napier Village in the arty town of the same name, or the
Larenbosch Estate in Bot River, where the Barrel and Beards
Festival celebrates the harvest each year.

The Winelands extends over a large area of the Western
Cape, and the Robertson Lifestyle Estate in Robertson is
only an hour away from Cape Town via Du Toitskloof Pass, and
on the doorstep of over 100 wine estates around town and in
nearby Worcester, McGregor, Ashton and Montagu.
Limpopo
Limpopo province is a good area for those who can’t bear to be
away from the bush, and Klein Kariba outside of Bela-Bela offers the
ideal setting for anyone who has the veld imprinted on their soul.
