“Ons het aan die einde van Oktober 2018 vanaf Wierdapark, Centurion na The Somerset Aftree-oord verhuis, wat die beste besluit van ons lewe was! Ons leef in absoluut veilige, luukse omstandighede. Ons klubhuis lyk soos ‘n vyf ster hotel. Ons tuine en parke is met die mooiste fynbos en inheemse bome uitgelê.
Ons uitsig en sonsondergange op die see, bly lewende skilderye van dag tot dag. Ons bure en nuwe vriende is ‘n bonus. Ons braai saam in die straat, sorg vir mekaar se tuine en dra kossies aan as iemand siek is.
Ons kinders en kleinkinders kom kuier graag by ons en braai saam of gaan eet heerlik saam met ons in die klubhuis. Ons kleinseuntjie van drie jaar oud geniet dit veral om sommer vir ‘n paar dae te kom kuier. Hy ry op sy klein fietsie veilig en ongestoord deur ons strate. Hy kry ook soms geleentheid om op ‘n golfkarretjie saam te ry. Die kleinkinders wat al tieners, is kom ook graag kuier want dis so lekker naby die see. Ons ry sommer vinnig Strand toe.
Tydens die grendeltyd was ons nie so eensaam en verlore soos baie ander mense nie. Ons kon darem oor die muur met ons bure gesels, of ‘n glasie wyn op die garagepad geniet!
Ons hoef ons ook nie meer te bekommer oor veiligheidshekke en bosse sleutels saam te dra nie. Ons het ‘n baie effektiewe sekuriteitstelsel. Ons leef en slaap met die rustigheid van mense sonder kommer en sorge.
Hier is n groot en pragtige verskeidenheid van voëls in ons kompleks as gevolg van die inheemse plantegroei en damme. Soggens word ons wakker met voëlgesang en ‘n lied van dankbaarheid in ons harte.”
“We moved from Wierda Park, Centurion to The Somerset Lifestyle and Retirement Village at the end of October 2018, which was the best decision ever! We live in absolutely safe, luxurious circumstances. Our clubhouse looks like a five-star hotel. Our gardens and parks are laid out with the most beautiful fynbos and indigenous trees. Our views and sunsets at sea remain living paintings from day to day. Our neighbours and new friends are a bonus. We braai together in the street, take care of each other’s gardens and share food parcels if someone is sick. Our children and grandchildren love to visit us and braai together or eat delicious meals with us at the clubhouse. Our grandson of three years old enjoys visiting for a few days. He rides on his little bike safely and undisturbed through our streets. He also sometimes gets the opportunity to ride on The Somerset’s golf cart. The grandchildren who are teenagers are also happy to visit because it’s so close to the sea.
During lock-down, we weren’t as lonely and lost as many other people. We could talk to our neighbours over the wall, or enjoy a glass of wine on the garage road! Nor do we need to worry about safety gates and carrying loads of keys with us. We have a very effective security system. We live and sleep with the comfort of no worry and care. Here is a large and beautiful variety of birds in our complex because of the indigenous vegetation and dams. In the morning we wake up with birds singing and a song of gratitude in our hearts.”
We really look forward to showing the estate to you as one of the best possible locations to move to for the less paced part of your life. Please give us a call to set up an appointment, or simply pop in between 10h00 and 16h00 any day of the week.
