Despite tougher economic times, we shined!

I always start the year by sharing some of the numbers; before that let’s just point out that there were more people on the Estate than ever. With more homes completed, we (Thinus and I) dropped off more lemons on the 23rd and 24th by a large number!

The Estate

 

512 sold properties (± 94.8%)

167 completed homes (± 31%)

160 occupied in the holiday (with an average of 8 for Christmas lunch – one family had 30!)

87 permanently occupied (53%)

27 built during 2018/2019 financial year AND 12 in the new year (Oct to Dec)

17 homes currently under construction

36 homes in planning or submission stage

The Club

December starts with our members: offering the morning tee times to them first, filling the afternoon with visitors. Most of our visitors did play with the members while others came with their families and friends! Our new e-bikes were in use nearly every day and our pace of play, by not overcrowding the course, remained good throughout the holiday period.
