Bowden Park
Drama Street, Somerset West, Somerset West, Somerset West, Western Cape

It offers 47 two and three-bedroomed cottages, each with two bathrooms and a garage. Its own page notes that this is not a security estate. Residents can use the Vonke Service Centre for meals, activities, a library, kiosk, laundry, hair salon and coffee shop, and short-term specialist nursing care is available at the HSFA Support Centre adjacent to Vonke House.
Typical costs for retirement villages in South Africa
We do not have Bowden Park’s own fees. As a general guide:
Costs vary widely: life rights purchases range from R500,000 to R5,000,000+, with monthly levies of R3,000–R10,000. Rental villages charge R5,000–R25,000/month depending on location and unit size.
These are typical South African ranges for this type of care, not this home’s prices. Actual fees vary by room type, level of care, and area, and they change every year - always confirm current rates with the home.
