The idea to develop a secure pet friendly Lifestyle village that will cater for residents over the age of 50 year took seed as there is a distinct lack of these facilities in the Greater Boland Region. Klein-Begin Lifestyle Village has been planned to allow for an independent lifestyle with access to communal and medical care (including frail care) facilities being available when required, within the confines of a secured environment. This model is quite different from the traditional Old Age Home model as the village will comprise of a series of smaller interlinked “village” clusters, which allow for easy accessibility and social interaction, as well as a safe secure environment to live in. The village buildings are based on the Cape Vernacular with echoes the West Coast Fishing Village Architecture. A series of ‘Green Spaces” run through the entire development to provide calm, restful areas for the residents to socialise and interact. For those residents that do not want a garden, the development plan includes 20 apartments.
