REAL ESTATE
Freehold residential homes and resort lodges, built discreetly along the golf courses, cater to different lifestyles. The residential homes identify with South Africa's Cape Dutch architectural tradition and are ideal for buyers looking for a permanent base while the resort lodges can be bought as residential or holiday homes.
They can also form part of a rental pool system whereby the hotel utilises the lodge when owners are not in residence or be owned by a syndicate, entitling buyers to either four or six weeks exclusive use a year. New additions to the Real Estate offering include Links Ridge, located alongside The Links and Bramble Hill, and the upcoming Montagu Ridge development.
