Independent Living

Village life

Independent residents have a host of facilities at their disposal, including board games, a darts board and pool table. We encourage everyone to gather around our big screen on match days to support their team. And on beautiful days they can gather outdoors to enjoy playing pétanque.

Independent Living

Facebrick units

Our beautifully refurbished face-brick houses are available in three options (bachelor, one and two-bedroom units with optional garages). They are surrounded by well cared for gardens and are in close proximity to all important amenities such as hospitals, doctors’ rooms, shops and the like.

Ranging from 28m2 – 57m2, each of our North-facing face-brick houses enjoys a:

● Private entrance, with compact garden and patio
● Sunny open-plan lounge and kitchen
● Bachelor, one-bedroom or two-bedroom layout
● En-suite bathroom (complete with spacious shower and support rail).

Independent Living

Garden Cottages

There are 20 x 2 bedroom garden cottages, averaging 59 sqm as well as a 3 bedroom garden cottage of 97 sqm. Our garden cottages offer the least expensive retirement option.

Participation in activities and maintaining our beautiful surroundings instil a sense of community. Neighbours look out for each other.

Life Rights

An inexpensive Life Right is the most affordable solution to enter a retirement village and to secure retirement accommodation for life.

All independent living accommodation houses at Eden Park are available on life rights.

Life Rights owners enjoy additional services such as meals, cleaning and laundry.

Additional services such as home-based care and more are available on request.

Life Rights is the option for you if you can afford an initial outlay to enjoy low monthly costs. This solution offers peace of mind and security, with a long-term investment saving you money over time.

Rental Options

Our rental options offer a quick path to move into Eden Park Retirement Village. Our rental options allow for increased financial freedom and reduce the day-to-day responsibilities of property ownership. Tenants are also provided with meals, cleaning and laundry with additional services available on request.

Renting is the option for you if you don’t want any long-term commitment.

Home-based care

With many choosing not to enter care facilities, but preferring support and care services in the comfort of their home, we offer various assistance packages up to 24-hour care for those in need of care.

Weekly shopping trips

The village will provide weekly services to enable those without transport to access shopping and banking facilities.

Do I qualify for independent living?

On application, our head nurse will conduct an assessment which, together with a medical report from your doctor, will determine whether independent living is the best option for you.
