Thornhill Manor Retirement Village is a village for retired people set on 14 hectares within a fully secured residential estate in Modderfontein, on the eastern side of Johannesburg. It offers two- and three-bedroom cottages, available for purchase on a life right basis to people aged 65 and over. Each cottage has two bathrooms, a patio and a courtyard, and a single or double garage with an automated door. According to the home's website, there are 112 two-bedroom and 101 three-bedroom cottages. Facilities include an inter-denominational chapel, a cafe, a hall, a community centre, a library, a snooker room, a swimming pool and a transport service to nearby shops. Security is 24-hour with access control and CCTV, and a village nursing sister provides preventative care. Frail care is available at Rand Aid's Ron Smith Care Centre or Thembalami Care Centre, both 5 km away.
Typical costs for retirement villages in South Africa
We do not have Retirement Village’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.
