LOOK FOR A LIFESTYLE CAPE TOWN RETIREMENT VILLAGE
When you choose to retire, realise that not all Cape Town retirement villages will be able to support your new lifestyle. And you shouldn’t settle for less than what you deserve and have worked so hard to achieve.
Because so much of retirement is spent doing your own thing, there is huge scope for being more creative within an enabling environment.
For many retirees, the senior years signal a new beginning that touches every aspect of their lives, from relationships with partners and friendships to activities, relaxation, hobbies and interests.
People are retiring earlier and younger retirees have more pronounced lifestyle oriented needs. With an extended retirement period there is also a greater emphasis on self-actualisation, to get more out of life, and an opportunity to achieve new goals.
With greater emphasis on an active lifestyle, the 50-somethings planning retirement are also looking for Western Cape retirement villages that offer access to a range of social, sport and leisure activities.
It is for these reasons that your retirement home has to offer more than just the conventional old age homes in Cape Town, or old age retirement complexes in Johannesburg.
Not only is the location of the retirement village of fundamental importance, but convenience and proximity to lifestyle facilities are too.
If it is location, proximity and convenience you want then the Cape Town Metropolitan area is without a doubt the retirement destination of choice.
SOMERSET WEST – EVERYTHING ON YOUR DOORSTEP
You are simply spoilt for options. All amenities are at your doorstep at The Somerset Lifestyle and Retirement Village in Somerset West. A new shopping precinct is right across the road, with a Woolworths Food Store, Checkers & Clicks.
This retirement community is five minutes away from the N2, from where you could turn left to Grabouw and the Elgin Valley (20km), Gordon’s Bay (10km) and Hermanus (73km), or turn right to Cape Town itself, only 49km and a mere 25 minute’s drive away.
We are also close to Cape Town International Airport (36km).
The Cape Winelands are right on your doorstep, with Stellenbosch (24km) and Paarl (76km) and Franschhoek (70km) away, although sampling the local award-winning wine estates should keep you busy for quite some time.
Arguably one of the most beautiful, scenic areas of the world, The Somerset is located in the middle of this natural, Helderberg paradise. The major advantage is that The Somerset has a relaxed peaceful setting removed from the hectic pace of the city.
The Cape is a centre of excellence internationally, with world class entertainment, arts and culture constantly available. Sporting facilities for golf, tennis, bowls are plentiful and hiking and nature walks are within easy striking distance.
But the best part of choosing a lifestyle is the assurance that you will find yourself among a like-minded community, among peers who want to get as much out of retirement as you do.
