A great position overlooking the fairway with
good outdoor living. Patios, rock pool and upstairs balcony for summer sundowners. Spacious open
plan living rooms, fireplace in lounge and separate study. Guest cloakroom. Tiled floors in
living rooms, carpets in bedrooms, ceiling fans. Main suite downstairs and 2 bedrooms upstairs
with open rafter ceilings.
Golf remains at the heart of Erinvale, but the club
house is also close to tennis courts and there are more courses and courts in and around Somerset
West, along with four lawn bowling clubs and other sports and keep-fit facilities. There is even
polo and croquet.
You can simply enjoy the tranquility, bathe and stroll the
beach, or take to colour coded and graded trails and climbs ranging from 30 minutes to eight
hours in the adjoining Helderberg Nature Reserve (it includes the mountain). The area has a
wealth of bird life - see the black eagle, as captured in logo on Erinvale literature - and is
home to a few bontebok.
On the roads, little families of guinea fowl or
francolins are common sights, scattering clumsily in front of patient drivers. Here and there
after nightfall, an owl hoots.
There are groups to pursue a range of interests
including music, theatre, art, books, bridge and chess. Then, of course, this is wine country,
with a dozen close estates to be explored for quality, variety and price. There is South African
and other cuisine to be enjoyed. The independent Erinvale Hotel and Spa is just outside the gate
and historic Vergelegen and Morgenster - which also produces olive oil - are within walking
distance.
Erinvale is a low density estate, its maturity reflected in the
trees and gardens. Along road verges and pedestrian paths, century-old oak trees have been
preserved. Home owners were allowed a fair degree of individuality within architectural and
aesthetic parameters, with happy results. Matters arising from meetings of their association, and
other happenings of interest are communicated through The Erinvale News. The village enjoys a
cosmopolitan population, nearly half originating from overseas - English, Germans and Irish
figuring prominently. They are an asset to the wider community and their contribution includes
support of the ECHO organization, which assists underprivileged youths to develop their full
potential.
