Simbithi Eco-Estate - Haven for People and Nature
If you love the idea of slowing down the pace and getting in touch with nature, you’ll love the Simbithi Eco-Estate. This stunning estate has been carefully planed, not only to ensure that the natural environment which surrounds the estate is left as untouched as possible, but also to provide a way for people to re-connect with nature and get away from the concrete jungle. The Simbithi Eco-Estate is situated roughly half-an-hour north of Durban, on the beautiful coast of KwaZulu Natal. It’s quietly nestled between Ballito and Salt Rock – two coastal towns that have an ambience all of their own. You can access the Eco-Estate via the N2. This means you can easily reach the estate from Durban, the Durban International Airport, the Gateway New Town Centre and La Lucia Office Park. What’s more, there are currently plans to develop a new international airport at La Mercy which will be only ten minutes away from the Simbithi Eco Estate.
The 430-hectare Eco-Estate is a dream come true for many people. The natural coastal paradise includes ravine vegetation, wetlands and small hills. The views are incredible and every effort has been taken to minimize environmental impact to ensure that things stay this way for as long as possible. The developers of the estate have had geology and soil assessments taken, water resource and drainage appraisals done and many other items have been assessed and monitored. The ultimate aim of the estate is to provide a way of reconnecting with nature and living in harmony with the natural environment. As the developers say, its not just about preserving nature – it’s also about preserving a lifestyle. This sort of relaxed, natural environment can be viewed as being crucial to surviving the struggles and stressed brought about by living in big cities. Though the Simbithi Eco-Estate is the first of it’s kind, it is hoped that its success will pave the way for many more of these safe-havens for both man and nature.
Phase 1 & 3, which includes roughly 1598 units, features luxury apartments and free hold sites. Each site has been carefully planned and located so as not to obstruct the free movement of game. These phases also include community centers which feature a clubhouse, swimming pool, tennis courts, a restaurant and an adventure playground for children. Phase 2 & 4 have about 434 units which are carefully located around an 18 hole Executive short course. There are plans to include a Boutique Hotel and wellness centre in phase 2. Of course the architecture has been designed to compliment the natural environment and the emphasis is on well-ness and on nature. Why not visit the Simbithi Eco-Estate to see this masterful combination of creature comforts and natural beauty.
