And what better way to leave behind the traffic, the noise, the light pollution, and the endless crowds by moving to the bush?
ESCAPE TO THE WILD
Zandhaven Macadamia, the newest addition to the Macadamia family, is the latest phase within the greater Zandspruit Estates near Hoedspruit. It’s a true retirement village, designed with everything you’d expect from a modern estate, but it’s also part of an integrated wildlife, nature, and lifestyle precinct. With its proximity to private game lodges, the Kruger National Park, and a host of bushveld experiences, it offers the perfect blend of peace, adventure, and convenience.
Zandhaven is a life right estate, meaning that you are not acquiring property in the traditional sense, but rather making an investment in your security, comfort, and a lifestyle that evolves with you. A life right gives you and your partner the legal right to live in your chosen home for the rest of your lives, without the complications or cost of full property ownership.
Choose from thoughtfully designed one- or two-bedroom apartments or two-bedroom homes, all crafted for low maintenance and easy living. It’s the perfect lock-up-and-go base for exploring the wonders of the region — because, after all, that’s what retirement should be about.
INDEPENDENCE AND COMMUNITY
Each home at Zandhaven is designed and built for independent living. You can live in — and even work remotely from — your bushveld paradise. When wanderlust strikes, simply lock up and go for a day, a week, or a few months. Your garden, maintenance, and security are all taken care of while you’re away.
Back home, you’ll find plenty to do within the estate itself. Take leisurely walks along tree-lined paths, join as many (or as few) community activities as you wish, or spend quiet mornings birdwatching in beautifully landscaped spaces that echo the natural bushveld.

Forget the outdated image of retirees playing bingo all day. Today’s generation of 70-somethings are vibrant, curious, and engaged. At Zandhaven, you can join a book club, a wine-tasting group, or a wellness class, or simply enjoy good conversation at the central clubhouse. It’s a place where you can live independently, but never in isolation.
SAFE AND SECURE
Security at Zandhaven is both visible and reassuring. The estate is protected by state-of-the-art systems, with 24/7 staff monitoring access and movement. Safety, however, goes beyond gates and guards — every aspect of wellness and peace of mind has been considered in the design and management of the village.
CARE WHEN YOU NEED IT: MACADAMIA CARE
Macadamia Care has been providing flexible, compassionate care services in retirement villages since the late 1990s, when the first Macadamia Retirement Village opened in White River. More than two decades later, Macadamia Care now operates in six retirement communities across Mpumalanga, Limpopo and the Western Cape — Zandhaven will be the seventh.
Their model of care is built on dignity, independence, and choice. Services range from light assistance, such as medication management, health monitoring, and wound care, to full-time support in your home. For those needing temporary recovery or more comprehensive assistance, there’s a care centre offering professional respite care, long- term care, palliative care and memory care, in private en- suite rooms.
Meals, laundry, housekeeping, and personal care are provided, and residents enjoy opportunities for walks, social engagement, and spiritual connection. This ensures that residents never have to leave the community they’ve come to call home.
THE BEST TIME IS NOW
Deciding when to retire can be complex, especially when it comes to balancing finances, health, and your love for what you do. But deciding when to move into a retirement community is different. It’s not about retreating; it’s about liberating yourself from the chores and responsibilities that limit your freedom.
Zandhaven makes that possible. It’s secure, stylish, and beautifully maintained — a home you can lock up and leave with total confidence. And with the life right model, the earlier you make the move, the more value and enjoyment you’ll gain.
Instead of waiting until maintaining a large house becomes overwhelming, make the transition from a position of strength. Downsize intentionally, declutter creatively, and design a new lifestyle that channels your energy into what brings you joy.
At Zandhaven, you can live fully in the present, and secure in the knowledge that your future is taken care of. It truly ticks all the boxes.
