Groenkloof Great Brak River is a gated retirement estate in Great Brak River on the Garden Route, launched in 2005. It has 118 own-title houses of 84 to 199 square metres for residents aged 50 and older, and 49 bachelor Assisted Living Apartments offered on a life right basis. The own-title houses have been sold out; resales and Assisted Living Apartment availability can be enquired about with the estate. The on-site Care Unit has 50 frail care beds and 14 step-down or sub-acute beds, and is managed by Southern Healthcare. It offers short-term medical aftercare and long-term frail care, with 24-hour cover by trained staff and medical practitioners on standby, to residents and the public. Clinic services are available on the premises. Residents of the Assisted Living Apartments get a daily lunch as a compulsory meal, with breakfast and dinner optional, plus weekly housekeeping and laundry.
Typical costs for retirement villages in South Africa
We do not have Groenkloof Great Brak River’s own fees. As a general guide:
Costs vary widely: life rights purchases range from R500,000 to R5,000,000+, with monthly levies of R3,000–R10,000. Rental villages charge R5,000–R25,000/month depending on location and unit size.
