This new coastal retirement village will be built during 2009 and when completed will attract way above average interest from prospective buyers, as Stil Bay has already spread its allure right through South Africa. A town either has that ‘sexy image’ or lacks it and will then fall back to the second row of holiday destinations.

The young and the old flock to Stil Bay, because it inspires the human spirit and energizes weary bodies. It does not carry the superficiality of a make belief world and will continue to present an earthy face to all visitors entering its town borders. But that earthy face will carry a slow smile and it will whisper about small secrets like the river that could be followed to many tranquil and beautiful enclaves. It will wink you in the direction of the whales that come visiting every year and will wryly ask of you to settle down to many small enjoyments.

So, if you want quietness, realness and long lingering sunny days when you retire, Helderzicht Retirement Village should be seriously considered.

It will most certainly speak to every tired soul and it will coach the young at heart to become healthily active again.

Retirement at Helderzicht will be like that ongoing holiday that all visitors leaving Stil Bay yearn for. The difference is that the retired person, stepping out of his or her house for another spectacular day, will have the quiet joy of not having to leave this serene town and its private pleasures.

The story of Robben Island started in 1652 when Jan van Riebeeck landed in Cape Town on orders from Dutch East Indian Company to establish a post where boats could harbour on way to the East.

He almost immediately started to use the Island, which is only a few kilometers from the mainland, as a place where trouble makers could be kept away from the growing community. The first political prisoner, Autshumato, was exiled in 1658, simply because he was taking back cattle that his people believed to have been unfairly confiscated by European settlers. Prisoners were also brought from other countries. Most of them strong-willed rebels that were removed from their societies before they could stir too much trouble.

They were soon joined by ordinary criminals, the mentally ill, lepers and even prostitutes that could spread diseases. Island life became very harsh with no kindness felt or offered. The Robben Island map began to display the first lines of its culture of alienation.

Long before it’s most famous prisoner, Nelson Mandela, another great indigenous leader, Makana, was held captive on Robben Island. He was a strong Xhosa leader that fought against the British over land issues during the early part of the eighteen hundreds, but surrendered in order to negotiate a meaningful peace. He was unceremoniously transported to the Island and died there far removed from his people.

During the reign of the Apartheid regime, discrimination against non-white people escalated and basic human rights became non-existent. Many fighters for freedom were imprisoned on Robben Island during those dark decades. They faced an iron hand and human interaction was kept to the minimum. There is one heart-gripping story where the political prisoners where marched past the house where Robert Sobukwe was kept in solitary confinement. At that moment he was in the garden and when he saw the other prisoners he got onto his knees, picked up a hand full of sand and let it filter through his fingers as a solitary gesture of communication.

Nelson Mandela, one of the world’s most revered leaders, spent 27 years in jail, most of that on Robben Island, for his participation in the cause for freedom. When the world community met this remarkable man after so many years in jail, they were amazed. Here was a man whose life had been effectively robbed from him and instead of an angry man, we all saw a generous man emerging with steady eyes and a mischievous smile. Robben Island that should have killed the human spirit, has only succeeded in producing an emphatic healer of a divided country.

A visit to Cape Town cannot be concluded without getting on the boat from the Cape Town Waterfront for one of the Robben Island tours. These trips involve a walk in and around the infamous and at the same time famous jail that kept many different kinds of people behind bars.

If one wants to have a daily visual encounter with Robben Island, Sea Lodge Luxury Apartments at Bloubergstrand will be your nearest residential location. Your view from Sea Lodge on Table Mountain will be similar to the view all those prisoners had of this mesmerizing mountain over the decades.

You can thus participate, though faintly so, in the yearning of those men and women that were chained to Robben Island.

Local politicians like Jan Smuts contemplated the future whilst watching the hustle and bustle of city life far below (others continue that tradition up to the present day). Lovers still find quiet space up there that augments their sense of something special. Tourists stand around breathless in reaction to the immense ocean that weave away over the horizon, and locals laze away stolen private time. There are various telescopes on the mountain to view Cape Town, Table Bay, False Bay and Robben Island.

The mountain is alive at all times. People are doing their own thing, but so is the abundant wild life, shying away from human beings invading their space. There is a great variety of wild flowers and “fynbos” (about 1470 different species of plants and some of them only to be found on Table Mountain). Visitors in a hurry will miss the quiet beauty that doesn’t shout, that whispers it’s way.

Over 16 million people have already visited Table Mountain, Cape Town. The cable cars in flight up and down are adding to that figure endlessly. More than 600 000 thousand visitors have been carried up and down per year since the start in 1929. The Table Mountain cableway must be one of the most well-known tourist attractions in the world.

The summit of the mountain is about 1080 square metres and quite flat at the top. From side to side it is about 3 kilometres. The more energetic visitors will find about 350 different walking trails, all of them providing breathtaking views - but some should not be explored without an informed guide. A glass of wine at the restaurant on top during a summer sunset will not be easily forgotten. Few visitors come away without the feeling that the soul of this mountain has bestowed something lasting to their consciousness.

On the other side of the mountain, one will find the Table Mountain National Park that stretches from Signal Hill to Cape Point in the south. Views of beautiful valleys, False Bay, soaring cliffs with the huge variety in fauna and flora will entice the visitor time after time.

At the end of every visit, most men and women turn away from this spectacular beauty with one last glance towards Robben Island where Nelson Mandela, one of the world’s most beloved leaders, spent decades in jail and left the island as a sage.

The best point to view Table Mountain is most likely from Bloubergstrand and owners of the luxurious apartments at Sea Lodge, to be build in 2009 will most likely have an unbeatable view of this famous Mountain.

Why rely on a South African Table Mountain post card, if you can see its wonder with your own eyes, day after day?

If the rational mind and the romantic soul force you to answer yes to these questions, then you will have to consider buying a Sea Lodge Luxury Beachfront Apartment on the coastline of Cape Town’s Table Bay, just outside the sought after Bloubergstrand.

• Only 24 apartments will be built on this exquisite beachfront site
• Views of Table Mountain, the Atlantic Ocean, and Robben Island on offer
• Prices will most likely range round about R 4 890 000

In the 1970’s the world famous ‘maestro’ Terrence Millard trained race horses on this very soil and for that purpose he built his own horse training track, which now lies right in front of the proposed Sea Lodge apartments. Whilst the horses strained their muscles on the beach to become the eventual winners of many of the country’s main races, a whole other world existed just a few kilometers from this farm.

For nearly 400 years, Robben Island, across a narrow strip of sea from Cape Town’s Sea Lodge, was a place of banishment, exile, isolation and imprisonment. It was here that rulers sent those they regarded as political troublemakers, social outcasts and the unwanted of society.

Robben Island came to symbolise, not only for South Africa and the African continent, but also for the entire world, the triumph of the human spirit over enormous hardship and adversity.

Nelson Mandela is the most famous prisoner to be sent to Robben Island but there were others too like the man that was kept apart from all the other prisoners because they perceived him to be a too dangerous presence, Robert Sobukwe.

After 27 years Nelson Mandela was released and shortly thereafter, at the first true democratic election in South Africa, he became President of South Africa. Sea Lodge in Cape Town is the closest point to Robben Island from the main land and as the owner of an apartment at Sea Lodge will be viewing the island, those men had their eyes on this nearest patch of their beloved country.

There is another intriguing chapter on the times that treaded by the Blouberg area. In the winter of 1773 the ship De Jonge Thomas was anchored in the bay with 207 people on board when a storm arrived. The wind was so strong that it broke the ship’s anchor ropes and blew the ship aground on a sandbank.

The then governor of the Cape sent 30 soldiers to the beach to see what they could do to assist in the rescue of the crew.

Christiaan Ludwig Woltemade was one of the soldiers.

While he was on the beach, his father Wolraad Woltemade arrived. It was the 1st. day of June 1773. Already a man aged between 60 and 70 years, he came to brought his son some food. Wolraad Woltemade was a dairy farmer in the area.

When Wolraad arrived on the beach and saw that nothing was being done by the soldiers to rescue the crew, he decided that he could not be a passive spectator to this, and so he decided to do something to help. He took his horse and rushed into the sea and swam it out to the ship where he had two crew members jump into the sea and hang onto his horse while it swam back to land dragging them to safety.

Wolraad undertook this trip seven times bringing fourteen men to safety.

Unfortunately on the eighth attempt so many sailors were keen to be rescued that they jumped into the sea and in their panic clung to the horse, which by this time was exhausted and unable to pull them to safety.

In the chaos that ensued the horse and Wolraad Woltemade disappeared under the waves and both lost their lives.

Wolraad Woltemade became a hero and is remembered for his bravery and his commitment not to stand by when fellow human beings were at risk.

Sea Lodge overlooks the bay where this amazing incident occurred. You will be able to tell these stories to your guests as you sip cocktails on your balcony or host a dinner with the view of Table Mountain glittering through your balcony window.

We invite you to live on this land of legends, to explore the nearby beach and to do your surfing with the men, boys, women and girls that come from afar to dare the waves at Big Bay.

Should you be less action inclined, it will take you less than half an hour to go frequenting the Cape Town Waterfront, attend movie theatres or enjoying the famous Cape Town night life. Cape Town International Airport is also less than half an hour from Sea Lodge.

What will it be? Settling for second best, or reserving your apartment at Sea Lodge to experience a perfectly situated beach front existence?

Luxurious apartments like the new development, Sea Lodge, scheduled to be built in 2009 just north of Bloubergstrand, provide the latecomer to the Cape Town cosmopolitan scene with another chance to become part of this exiting way of life.

From your balcony at Sea Lodge, sipping a Cape Chardonnay or Cabernet Sauvignon, you can entertain your visitors with stories about the Cape Castle or the fierce battle between the devil and Van Donk to out smoke each other there on the crest of Table Mountain. Or recount the tale of how Wolraad Woltemade went with his horse into the icy winter ocean in 1773 to save frantic sailors from a stranded ship. Of course, the most precious story of all is how Nelson Mandela, the hero of our time, was held captive for more than two decades on Robben Island, just a patch of ocean away from your Cape Town apartment.

Table Mountain cast against the setting sun will take your breath away and it will only come back if you dare to surf the waves at Big Bay. And when you come alive again with renewed zest for life, you can drive into the city to spend time at the Cape Town Waterfront, the night clubs, the theatres or just taking the cable car out against the slopes of Table Mountain to view the city and your real estate domain at Sea Lodge across the blue waters of Table Bay.

So many South African beaches to spend your days at…there is Blouberg Strand, Clifton, Camps Bay with its brimming sidewalk restaurants, Sandy Bay (a surprise will be waiting there), Llandudno, Hout Bay and Kommetjie. On the Indian Ocean side there is Muizenberg or Simons Town, while the other side of False Bay plays host to Bikini Beach at Gordons Bay. This just to mention a few. The West Coast with its laid back manner will for sure draw your attention to Yzerfontein, Langebaan and Paternoster at some stage.

From your apartment’s balcony you can have your morning coffee, be mesmerized by Table Mountain’s many specters of beauty and decide on a day at the Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens, visiting the National Art Gallery and having tea in The Gardens afterwards. Or you can decide to visit Cape Point where the Atlantic and Indian Oceans meet, drive through the Table Mountain National Park or just turn your car’s nose towards the Cape wine farms and visit those attractions against the hills and valleys of Durbanville, Paarl, Stellenbosch and Franschoek.

But then again, you can decide to stay put in your apartment at Sea Lodge, enjoying its upmarket finishes, read a book or watching TV with Table Mountain’s presence gliding towards you from the other side of Table Bay.

Cape Town will get to you, Table Mountain will arrest your mind and Robben Island will continue to haunt you with its powerful history. All in sight of your apartment at Sea Lodge, just north of Bloubergstrand. You will barely have time to visit the rest of the Western Cape or other areas of this vast and beautiful country. The Kruger National Park? Next year! The Golden Gate? The year thereafter! The spectacular Garden Route? Maybe next month! The Great Karoo? Who knows when you will get to it!

Confronted with all these options, nothing will materialize if you don’t commit to swift action to secure one of these luxurious beach front apartments in Cape Town. See whether you can beat the film stars and sporting heroes in this coming race to secure a unit. My bet is on the people with a nose for class!

They acknowledge the fact that they will need more constant health care and tighter security at some stage, but they envisage a more freelance approach to retirement initially. They want to interact directly with society and are looking forward to having a good and enjoyable time whilst in reasonable strength. People with this approach to retirement in South Africa, will then most likely resettle and buy a house or a plot in order to have their retirement home near a favoured place like the ocean, or somewhere where the climate is mild and the soul satisfied.

Friends and family become more and more important as time goes by. If a couple nearing retirement make the choice to retire where their children are, they might lose out on the proximity of friends and emotional loss could occur. The best choice would be to settle into retirement where both friends and children are nearby.

If they however move at a later stage in life into a retirement village that offers health care and more security, they begin all over as strangers in the new environment. That can be debilitating too and older people do not like too much stress and feeling unsettled.

They can therefore consider buying a house or apartment in a retirement village of their choice and then plan to rent it out until they themselves want to occupy it later on. As owners, they will become acquainted with the culture of the retirement village and they might just be able to convince friends still out at their preferred retirement spot, to purchase a house or apartment in their chosen retirement village too.

This way, they can look forward to a more intimate friendship at a time when there is less wanderlust and more need for slower and qualitative time. At the same time they secure a retirement village house or apartment at today’s prices, knowing that demand tend to drive retirement property continuously higher.

A two step approach might be the right modus operandi for people with a more individualistic approach to retirement. Owning a unit in Summervale Retirement Village in Gordons Bay or a retirement house in Stil Bay, might just be the perfect answer to your approach to retirement. And it makes financial sense too.

Stil Bay has become a large village, but the lagoon and river see to it that the feel of intimacy does not get lost. You will love the unspoilt beach, fynbos and pleasant climate (only second to Hawaii in the world, it is said). You can take a boat for almost 15 kilometres up the river and this ensures a wealth of private fishing or photographic opportunities.

Water skiing is also well in demand by younger holiday makers. Stil Bay and Jongensfontein to the west of the town provide people with striking views on the whales that come visiting these shores between May and November every year. People that are already retired, or that may be considering to buy into the new planned retirement village in Stil Bay, will have ample time to follow these huge creatures as they glide through the waters.

You can have your game of golf where no noise - except perhaps your own cursing a poor chip - will be heard. Or if that is just a bit too frustrating, you can try your hand at bowls or go on hiking expeditions.
Life at Stil Bay did not start yesterday. Middle stone age artifacts tell the story of people habituating this area thousands of years ago. Ancient fish traps can still be seen around. People with time on their hands can indulge in the history of early mankind.

Modern amenities are all available, including shops, banks, medical facilities and restaurants. People who love the quietness of country life will adore the town. When the newly planned retirement village in Stil Bay starts to take shape, even more senior people will for sure be flocking this way.

Mossel Bay is less than an hour’s drive away. With its renowned hospital, huge shopping centre, movie theatre and wonderful restaurants, retired people will have more than enough to keep them thoroughly busy. As Stil Bay is but the gate to the Garden Route, retired couples can easily drive out to George, Knysna, Plettenberg Bay or turn inland to view the Kango Caves in Oudtshoorn or the little villages that lie in the heart of the Klein Karoo.

You can do all that and so much more, but when you return from a trip with the bottles of wine bought at one of the wine farms, classic second hand books bought in George, or an art piece in Knysna, you will be happy with your healthy and very safe little oasis that is Stil Bay’s retirement village.

For a start, the Western Cape is traditionally known as the laid back part of South Africa. When the Voortrekkers left the Cape Province, driven to find their own areas where they could be independent, many families stayed put in the beauty of the Western Cape.

They did so because their roots had already sunk too deep in the soil that would feed the vines, apple orchards and evolving enterprises. Grapes take time to grow to fruition and you cannot rush the process. You have to let the seasons do the subtle coaching whilst you endeavour to understand the trends of the wind, the forming of clouds and the promise of the climate as it changes.

They also learned that countries would fight each other to raise their flag as the new victorious force around. And then in time another flag would be raised, but the harvesting of the grapes according to the seasons overshadowed the political enterprises. As it always will. And so the phlegmatic soul of the Western Cape was born.

The attraction to nature’s natural ways surfaced in the psyche of the people in the Western Cape and smells, sounds and the constantly changing beauty of the landscape through the cycle of seasons became ingrained in their daily enterprises.

Even the farmers of the Eastern Cape often visited Cape Town, bringing their goods to sell and their wool to be shipped abroad. In time Port Elizabeth would become their port to export, but they still flocked to Cape Town, the social hub of the time, in order to fathom the unique spirit floating through the air.

There were of course other attractions that thrilled the early visitors and the inhabitants of the Western Cape. There was Table Mountain, a solemn presence that still draws the awe of sailors as they enter Cape Town harbour. Many could not leave it again and settled around the growing town, where they could have a view of the inspiring mountain and where they could watch the fierce winds rolling white clouds over Table Mountain’s top to cover the evolving city. And there, with just a patch of salt water in between, floats an island that would in later centuries be the jail of a heroic sage.

Both the Atlantic and the Indian Ocean have a particular fresh smell where they compete for territory along the Western Cape coastline. Visitors, holiday makers and tourists will have the taint of that smell in their memories for a very long time.

Like giant rugged hands, there are blue mountain ranges that keep quaint villages like Stellenbosch, Franschoek and Paarl on this side and villages like Greyton, Robertson, Montagu, Ceres, Tulbagh and Riebeeck Wes on the other for a different and unique kind of experience.

The coastal villages along the whale route, Gordons Bay, Hermanus and Gans Bay also await the cosmopolitan population that explores the variety of experiences the Western Cape offers. Scenic mountain passes, unique fynbos and roaring waves shift constantly in and out of vision as one follows a quieting heart through the unending joys that the Western Cape offers.

Why then the interest in retirement villages in the Western Cape? There is just too much to do, too much to see, too much to experience to be bogged down to a lifestyle in areas that do not bring the faint smile of the winds, oceans, mountains and relaxed people right to your doorstep!

And so, the calls keep coming in about new developments regarding retirement villages in the Western Cape, as older people leave the rush of competitive life in order to settle down to what comes naturally in this mellow part of the world.
