With a view of the breath taking Outeniqua Mountain Range and the fresh ocean breeze, every day is just exquisitely picturesque.
If you’re a Nature lover, you will never be bored. Starting with forest hikes, fishing, riverside picnics and the numerous farms you can visit, your days will be filled to the brim. And, if you enjoy golfing, you’re in the right place!
George Retirement Villages are spacious and well-established facilities. Situated near shops, restaurants and coffee bars, you’re conveniently served while still enjoying the cheerful small-town ambience.
One of the requirements on your checklist is no doubt to be located in a central city, with easy access to and from the area. If you choose one of the George Retirement Villages, this exactly what you’ll have. You’ll be just 8kms away from Victoria Bay, a short 14kms from Wilderness, a stone-throw 55kms from Mossel Bay, a mere 59kms away from Oudtshoorn, 94km from De Rust, a hop-and-skip 61kms from Knysna and 93kms from Plett.
