The flats range between bachelor and two-bedroom sized units, close to shops and the public library.

Typical costs for retirement villages in South Africa
We do not have Protea Court’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.
