Simbithi Eco-Estate is an environmental gem found on the KwaZulu Natal North Coast.
Wide open spaces, indigenous riverine forest, abundant water features and distant, all-encompassing sea and inland views transport you back to a natural living as a way of life.
The Simbithi vision was to restore agricultural land to its original grassland and forest areas and to include residential development which blends into the environment.
This dream has been realised with the abundance of open veld, pockets of wild forest, picturesque dams and a wealth of bird and animal life.
The Estate offers a total outdoor experience which includes 25 dams, mountain biking, hiking, tennis and an adventure playground. Community centres dotted around the grounds enhance the estate’s sense of community.
The 18-hole Executive Golf Course offers a family golfing experience. A Peter Matkovich creation, it is built to test every player’s ability to use all the clubs in a bag and a full round of 18 holes may be completed in three and a half hours – perfect for fitting a round of golf into a working day.
The new clubhouse, built around a huge fig tree shading extensive outdoor decking, incorporates a restaurant, bar and lounge, swimming pool and children’s area as well as function rooms.
Residents can stable their horses at the Equestrian Centre and enjoy riding in this beautiful and safe environment. Families can visit the horses, watch dressage routines and there is a club house overlooking the arena and a lawn area where they can get together to braai.
There is a sports field with a sports pavilion. Sports include social cricket, rugby and soccer.
Preserving this sensitive environment while developing an Estate that blends with nature has been of prime concern. The general architectural language is drawn from the farmhouse architecture of the area featuring wide, shady verandas and outdoor and indoor living spaces which blend into one another.
Simbithi Eco-Estate offers freehold land purchasers large spacious plots that average 1500m2 (with 30 percent coverage) ensuring homes are well spaced out. And, almost uniquely among these estates, there is no time limit on building a home. Other residential options include lock-up-and-go apartments and home packages.
The project is fully owned by WBHO Construction.
