Overview

Away from the chaos of the concrete jungle, in the heart of KwaZulu Natal's northern coastline, lies Simbithi, a 322 hectare Eco-Estate. Simbithi is a natural, coastal paradise with dense, indigenous riverine vegetation, lush valley wetlands, undulating hills and distant, breathtaking vistas. It is a way of preserving nature, as much as it is a way of preserving a lifestyle, that in the hustle and bustle of today's world, you might not have even imagined.

Simbithi Eco-Estate lies 30 minutes north of South Africa's third largest city, Durban, on the KwaZulu-Natal coast. It's a tranquil hideaway nestled on the Dolphin Coast between the towns of Ballito and Salt Rock.

Simbithi Eco-Estate will eventually comprise a total of approximately 1000 units, in Phase 1, made up of clusters of villages linked by a network of internal roads. Special care has been taken to ensure the distance between villages accommodates the free movement of game throughout the estate. Community facilities include a clubhouse with swimming pool, tennis courts and restaurant, whilst children are accommodated in an adventure playground and open green areas for free sporting activities

Simbithi Eco-Estate is proud to announce that construction of an 18-hole executive golf course will commence on the 1st of May 2005 in association with Phase 2 of the development. This phase to comprise a further 350 units around the championship short course reserved strictly for homeowners. Situated to the north of Phase 1, this phase will include a Boutique Hotel and/or wellness centre.

The entire course will be designed by Peter Matkovitch and will be unique to KwaZulu-Natal, as it will be the only course to offer a truly family golfing experience. According to Peter Matkovitch, the course is designed to test a player’s ability to use all the clubs in their bag on a golf course, which will be constructed in accordance with USGA specifications. In other words, the 18-hole course will provide a combination of challenging par 4's and par 3's and will appeal to the full range of handicap golfers and leisure seekers, whether they are a family on holiday or a resident seeking a few hours of entertainment and exercise.

The architecture on the estate is a response to the splendour, climate and natural beauty of the site and the region. It respectfully acknowledges the natural clues that are evident whilst accommodating the lifestyle of the 22 Century. It is an evolving architecture that encourages the creative process rather than imposing an inappropriate "style".
