Retirement Village In Stil Bay - The Ideal Place To Retire To In South Africa!

Less than an hour’s drive from Mossel Bay on the road to Cape Town, you will find an unobtrusive board that declares the way to Stil Bay. After fifteen or twenty minutes on this road, the quiet village will come into sight. If you are one of those people who love fading into a country lifestyle, where the naturalness of existence tends to touch every facet of human endeavours, you will adore Stil Bay. It can only be a good idea to take note of the new Stil Bay retirement village that will take shape in 2009.

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.
