Who says you need to be boxed into the nearby ‘retirement village’. Consider a retirement option located within a secure eco-estate on the KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) north coast next to Ballito. This is a lifestyle where ambling through lush forested trails is just part of everyday living. A setting so idyllic it will take your breath away. Here, the concept of wide-open spaces is given true meaning. Simply jump in your golf cart and drive from your front door to the first tee-off. Walk your grandkids to have fun in the adventure playground and pools. All of this happens within the security of the estate, as Savanna forms part of the largest (440 hectares) estate in KZN.

Grant Harvey, co-developer, says: ‘While we understand the importance of, and have catered for, security, medical care and community facilities, we wanted to create a retirement experience like none other. Why do folks need to change their lifestyle just because they are down-scaling into a retirement property? We had to go for what we felt to be the best eco-estate, which had a lot of space and potential. Surrounded with all this beauty and these facilities here in Simbithi, we realised we had found something special. We chose a fantastic site, with sea views, bordered by a natural coastal forest. The estate with all its amenities sells itself; now that our showhouses and Phase One is complete, hopefully the quality finishes of our homes will offer further vindication that Savanna is indeed something special.’

Savanna offers spacious, stand-alone, open-plan homes, flowing onto balconies that maximise the breathtaking views. Not only are there several community centres with an array of sporting facilities and other activities, but Savanna also has its own dedicated on-site clinic, complete with a frail-care section. With few retirement options on the North Coast and the new Durban airport relocating nearby, it should show itself be a solid retirement and lifestyle investment.
