There are exciting times ahead at The Somerset Lifestyle & Retirement Village.

What began as a vision to create a truly exceptional retirement lifestyle in the Helderberg has grown into an established and thriving community – and we are now entering the final chapter of the development of The Somerset. For those who have been considering making The Somerset their future home, this represents a particularly exciting opportunity.

Phase 8 – The Final Residential Phase

We are delighted to announce that we are breaking ground for our final phase of our development. Our civil infrastructure works for Phase 8 commenced on the 1st September marking the beginning of the final stage in bringing our original development vision to completion.

Phase 8 will introduce 63 Life Right opportunities, available across three varied tiers of carefully designed home varieties.

The significance of this final phase goes beyond simply having new homes available, it represents an opportunity to become part of an established retirement community, while still having the opportunity to select from newly released properties within this phase of the development.

The completion of Phase 8 will also contribute towards the enhancement of our clubhouse and communal facilities, further strengthening the lifestyle offering that makes The Somerset such a desirable place to live.

Continuing to Invest in the Somerset Lifestyle

While Phase 8 represents the final residential phase, our commitment to improving The Somerset does not end there. Plans are progressing for the next stage of our clubhouse expansion, which will further enhance the social and lifestyle facilities available to our residents.

The planned Phase 3 clubhouse improvements include:

  • An extension to the kitchen facilities, which will complete the kitchen 
  • Additional storage areas for the kitchen and cold storage;
  • An expanded dining area next to our magnificent Ladies’ Bar which opens out onto a beautiful external outside garden terrace. 

Construction to this area begins in October and forms part of our long-term commitment to ensuring that The Somerset continues to evolve as a vibrant, well-appointed and socially engaging retirement community.

The development has also attracted purchasers from across South Africa and internationally, reflecting the growing appeal of the Somerset West and Helderberg region as a retirement destination.
