Kokanje Aftreeoord is a retirement village on 90 hectares of Bushveld land in the Modimolle (Nylstroom) municipal area, 3 km outside Modimolle on the Vaalwater road. It was originally developed by the Association of Public Servants of South Africa and is run as a non-profit company for senior citizens who are retired or about to retire and want to stay independent, with proper care available when their health requires it. Residents buy a lifelong occupancy right to a specific unit, with no transfer or registration costs. According to the home's website, there are 595 housing units, from one to three bedrooms. A sports centre, bowls, jukskei and tennis courts and a swimming pool are on site, with a golf course 3 km away. Residents whose health declines permanently can be transferred to its unit for frail residents, subject to medical assessment and bed availability; personal and wound care is provided there, and medical care only on a doctor's prescription. No full-time care or nursing is provided in the housing units, and residents arrange and pay for it themselves.
Typical costs for retirement villages in South Africa
We do not have Kokanje Aftreeoord’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.
These are typical South African ranges for this type of care, not this home’s prices. Actual fees vary by room type, level of care, and area, and they change every year - always confirm current rates with the home.
