The Lowveld fits the bill for an ideal retirement

If the peace and tranquillity of the countryside, a moderate climate throughout the year, and the comfort of being close to good medical facilities are at the top of your list, the Lowveld is a good retirement destination to consider.

Done working, but not done living? Spend your golden years in an easy living, luxury lifestyle village and join in the friendly community of Rubicon Retirement Village. Rubicon is not only the perfect location for your final home; it also offers all the services to make your final years, the best they can be.

Now is the ideal time to invest in one of the last units available in the recently completed phase VI. It offers two- and three-bedroom units with small and manageable gardens and fantastic views over the Lowveld towards Malalane, situated across Valley Hyper.

Home care is available to all residents, in the comfort of their own home. The Lifestyle Centre is known as the “heart of Rubicon” and includes all the facilities such as 24-hour frail care, dining room and kitchen, lounge, library, laundry, tea garden, pool and gymnasium. Not pressurised for time, there is an array of holiday resorts to visit within a 100-kilometre radius. If finances are a concern, look for pensioner discounts and travel specials close to home, and explore the beautiful sights that your own community and country have to offer.

One such example is Limetime Shuttle Service, which cares about your budget. It has special rates for kiddies, students, and seniors travelling with it to any of its 28 destinations within Mpumalanga, Gauteng, North West, and the Free State.

Should you choose to travel in your own vehicle, why not pop in to Supa Quick Nelspruit (now Point S Mbombela) first to make sure your vehicle is roadworthy. It is there to serve you. Everything and everyone has a story. Its story started out 30 years ago as Supa Quick Nelspruit. It has now changed to Point S Mbombela. No stress with Point S!

Should you choose to stay put and enjoy the splendour of Mpumalanga’a capital, Orange Restaurant offers a touch of elegance with spectacular views to complement heavenly dishes. For romantic dinners, special occasions or just to indulge a little.

Orange has been synonymous with Lowveld dining for over 12 years, continuing to present beautiful food that not only appeals to a sense of luxury, but also honesty, integrity and an inherent natural flavour. At Orange, the focus is on pampering and the dedication to dining as an experience.

There is a pensioners’ discount of 20% on all meals with a complementary glass of wine. Monday to Friday for lunches only. Bookings essential. A mask and temperature checks are required and the same goes for the staff.
