When deciding whether to live in Village of Golden Harvest Two, the following points should be considered:

• Prospective residents should be in reasonable health, not requiring frail care in the short-term, and must agree to a medical examination by a doctor appointed by the Village.
• Future residents must agree to a medical examination by a doctor appointed by the Village.
• Applicants must be at least 55 years of age. In the case of a couple, one of the partners must be 55 or older. Single applicants over the age of 80 will not be considered.
• Prospective residents should be financially independent and should take into consideration that the monthly levy is likely to increase on an annual basis, approximately aligned to the inflation rate.
• All residents are expected, within their capabilities, to contribute to life and activities in the Village. Tolerance and friendly contact with neighbours is expected.
• This is a Share Block company and as such, payment in full is required on, or before occupation. It is not possible to register a mortgage bond over the unit. Prospective shareholders must be financially capable of purchasing the share, which entitles use of the cottage, on a cash basis.
• No animals are permitted in the Village.
• A registration fee of R200 is payable upon completion of the application form. Your name will then be added to the waiting list.
• Please contact the office at least every six months to confirm your desire to remain on the waiting list. It is your responsibility to notify us of any changes, so that we can contact you when a unit becomes available.
