Why families look here

The Helderberg basin has more retirement villages than almost anywhere else in the country, which is why so many semigrating families start here. Mediclinic Vergelegen and Helderberg Hospital are in Somerset West, shopping is easy, and Cape Town International is roughly 30 minutes away on the N2.

The range is wide: large lifestyle estates with golf and clubhouses, smaller church-linked villages, and stand-alone frail care centres. Strand and Gordon's Bay are usually cheaper than Somerset West itself.
