Caves Retirement Village
Baron Van Reede St, Oudtshoorn, Oudtshoorn, Western Cape
The Caves Retirement Village is a retirement village in Oudtshoorn in the Klein Karoo, with the Swartberg Mountains in the background. It has freestanding houses and apartments, and a Care Unit on site. The Care Unit has 30 beds, of which 10 are single-bed rooms, with nursing staff available 24 hours. The Care Unit provides short-term care for recovery from surgery and long-term care, including for Alzheimer's patients, for residents of the village. Assistance care is also available for residents who need daily personal care and medication but still live independently in their homes. The village has 24-hour security, and all residents have a panic button. According to its website, the apartments are sold out, and the last six houses are being built.
Pricing
Owners' monthly levies, charged on top of buying a unit (unit prices are not listed on the site): R16.80 per square metre of unit size a month, plus a frail care levy of R433 per person a month. Each unit must hold at least one owned frail care right. A resident with a frail care right who is admitted to the Care Unit pays a further R155 a day plus meals. The levy excludes the inside of the unit, household contents insurance, municipal rates and services, and meals and cleaning (listed on the home's website without a date, read 31 October 2026; the home adjusts the frail care levy annually, so confirm current rates with the village office).
