The North Coast has boomed in recent years, attracting people from all over the
country with its beautiful beaches, enviable weather and chilled-out lifestyle. As more and more people relocate to the area, the number of estates continues to grow. With so many options available, how do you choose which one is right for you? We take a look at what some of the most popular developments have to offer…
FOR THE RETIREE
Coral Cove at Zululami Luxury Coastal Estate has been designed specifically as a retirement community, and includes a variety of property styles — think freestanding garden villas, maisonettes, and apartments. There are options for those who need assisted living, as well as those who prefer a more independent lifestyle.
Residents will certainly be kept busy at this estate — facilities will include an outdoor and indoor heated swimming pool, an air-conditioned cinema, a gourmet restaurant and coffee shop, and a fully-equipped wellness centre.
And, for those who need medical attention, there is a state-of-the-art care centre, which will offer frail and dementia care. The care centre will be operational as the first residences are occupied. Auria Senior Living owns and operates CCRCs throughout South Africa, and has received numerous prestigious international awards, placing them amongst the best in the world.
FOR THE ACTIVE OVER-50’s
Capri Village, located in the Salta Sibaya estate, boasts some exceptional amenities. One of its most standout features is the discreet medical care access in conjunction with Total Care, ensuring convenient healthcare for residents.
And for those who love to be out and about, there are two stunning clubhouses: Clubhouse, Salta Clubhouse, Salta Sports Centre, a two-kilometre-long park, and Marine Walk Shopping Centre — the latter also serving up a number of convenient shopping and dining options.
So much of the appeal of living on the North Coast is the wonderful sense of community the area is known for, and Capri Village really embraces this. Capri Village offers the opportunity for multi-generational living for active over 50s within the greater Salta estate. Residents can expect state-of-the-art security, private gardens, step-free units, and a pet-friendly environment in which they can stay healthy, engaged, and connected.
FOR THE FAMILY
Lalela Estate, a gorgeous, pet-friendly estate in Sheffield has been thoughtfully designed to cater for the unique needs of families. Everything here is geared for connected living. The seamless integration of open-plan kitchens and living rooms creates a harmonious blend of indoor and outdoor spaces, complemented by private gardens and tranquil terraces, plus plenty of convenient parking.
Families will love the variety of exceptional amenities, which include a clubhouse, braai area, pools, kids’ club, putt-putt, cricket nets, tennis courts, and a skate park.
Embracing sustainability, each single-story home is inverter-ready for solar panels, and offers energy-efficient gas hobs and stoves. The homes also come with a water harvesting tank.
FOR THE NATURE-LOVER
Seaton Estate is located on a beautiful stretch of coastline, and is all about the outdoor lifestyle. With 1.1 kilometres of pristine beachfront and access to world-class facilities, it’s a truly unique development.
The estate focuses on environmental sustainability, rehabilitating grasslands and forests, planting thousands of trees, and promoting carbon neutrality with low-voltage appliances and solar geysers. The masterfully designed Gatehouse sets the stage for the estate’s commitment to sustainable living.
Outdoorsy families will love the on-site equestrian facility, and exclusive access to Seaton Beach Club, while the Seaton Country Club is a great spot to socialise and relax. Seaton residents also enjoy reciprocity with additional amenities at the neighbouring Zululami Luxury Coastal Estate.
