Scenario 1:

100 Luxury caravan lodges with adjacent undercover room caravan, and 20 chalets aimed at the over 50’s cash buying market.

Buyers can choose between a number of pre-approved building plans.

A 56 bedroom (and 4-room frail care centre) the rooms can either be sold under the sectional title scheme or rented out.

Scenario 2:

The ideal concept is for buyers to buy the stand and a building package simultaneously, keeping the price range between R650 00.00 to R850 000.00. The developer/estate agent can therefore also earn an additional income on the building package.

A concept building plan for one of the Caravan Lodges appears on Page 11. It is envisaged that a small variety of plans for these lodges and the chalets be approved, from which buyers can choose. Once registered on the sectional title scheme, no changes or alterations to any buildings are possible.
