The Whale Rock Story

The exclusive Whale Rock development at Plettenberg Bay is about to enter
its third phase, with the release of new plots. Many of these are part
of a lifestyle village, which has its own frail care centre and small
commercial nucleus. The launch should help to satisfy the pent up demand
for investment property in the area.
Over the past few years, a standard for quality has been created at Whale
Rock and Sanderlings by Amazing Estates. This South African company has
access, through Belgian partners, to international expertise in tourism-related
property investment and development. Amazing's highly professional approach
took only a couple of years to have a visible effect on market trends.
The first element in Phase 3 is an exclusive, secure estate at Whale Rock
Ridge, off the road leading to Robberg peninsula. Some of the 1000 square
metre plots look north over the bay to the Outeniqua Mountains; others
face south to the Robberg Nature Reserve and the Indian Ocean. What they
all have in common is a close proximity to Robberg beach. Strict, environment-friendly
building regulations ensure that all residents will enjoy the widest views
possible, combined with privacy.
The Lifestyle Village is within walking distance of the beach and close
to new shops. Roads and services in Phase 1 are installed and several
houses are complete on generous plots, with others still being built,
such as the Frail Care Centre which will be finished early next year.
Purchasers may move into their new homes - chosen from five basic types
- at their own convenience.
Floorplans include en-suite bedrooms and open plan granite top kitchens
with separate scullery and laundry. Among the quality fittings are automated
garage doors and appliances by Bosch and Siemens.
The residents will be close to nature, with boardwalks and bird viewing
platforms in the reedy "vlei". Residents will also have access
to tennis and golf; a swimming pool, a chip 'n putt course and bowling
green,all located on the estate.
Observers note that the Whale Rock developments have been responsible
for creating a firmer tone in the Plettenberg Bay property market as a
whole, boosting investment value. Whale Rock will continue to play a leading
role in determining price structures, with welcome spin off effects for
the local economy and community.
