THE REST NATURE ESTATE

What better place to experience the great outdoors than at The Rest Nature Estate
Situated on 320 tranquil hectares of subtropical bushveld vegetation , yet only a short drive from the city centre , The Rest Nature Estate has quickly become Nelspruit ’ s ( now Mbombela ) most sought-after residential address .
The estate was named by the three Nel brothers , who used to graze their cattle in the area , and after whom Nelspruit was named . They established their family homestead on an exceptional piece of
land that boasted a year-long subtropical climate with soothing breezes and spectacular uninterrupted views , and called it The Rest .
Their descendants still own homes on what is now The Rest Nature Estate .
A WINNING RECIPE IN CREATING A MULTI-GENERATIONAL LIVING ENVIRONMENT Having been awarded a 5-star grading and voted The Best Residential Development in South Africa 2017 / 2018 in The International Africa and Arabia Property Awards , The Rest is currently starting the final stage of a fourphase development .
Once completed , the estate will consist of 1,000 freehold homes and villas with stands ranging in size from 400 to 16,000 square metres . The Carissa and Combretum villages , which are sold out , incorporate a total of 402 stands under phase one . Albizia
