Unlike some golf estates, Bel’Aire home owners are not burdened by hefty levies and the associated costs that tend to go with golf estate developments. Bel’Aire is therefore perfect for those who do not want to live on a golf estate, but are still looking for the safety and security of estate living. 

The fact that Bel’Aire also offers a variety of property choices – i.e. from deluxe mansions on large stands to more modest but upmarket family homes, is also a further feather in its cap.

Lifestyle

Bel’Aire’s location is sheltered from the summer wind (so-called “Cape Docter”) and its northwest facing slopes is also perfect for the winter sunlight.  Bel’Aire offers a lifestyle which provides privacy and security. It is very children and pet friendly – making it close to the perfect family venue. Bel’Aire has 24 hour access control and the estate is continuously patrolled. 

The Helderberg offers city like amenities – with the Somerset Regional Shopping Mall’s wide selection of up-market shops and restaurants only 5 minutes away, Waterstone Shopping Centre and Virgin Active gym (4 minutes) , Cape Town International Airport (20 minutes) and the historical university town of Stellenbosch (10 minutes).

The Strand beach with its 5 kilometers safe and white sands beach (nominated best family beach in South Africa) is only 10 minutes away. The Helderberg, Stellenbosch, Franschoek and Paarl wine routes starts literally on Bel’Aire’s “front door”.

Bel’Aire is conveniently situated with easy access to a number of top schools in Somerset West and Stellenbosch as well as to Stellenbosch University. 

There is a choice of prime golf courses within 30 kilometres to choose from for the golfers – such as Erinvale, De Zalze, Strand, Stellenbosch, Somerset  West Country Club and Devon Valley.

Somerset West has one of the largest contingents of foreign residents of any area in South Africa. Bel’Aire has attracted many of these ‘swallows’ and holiday-makers from the UK, Holland and Germany who appreciate all it offers, as well as the security which allows holiday-home owners to simply lock-up and go.
