The festive season is upon us
We have officially entered into the final month of 2024, and these are the last few days of this year before we embark on the new journey of 2025. When we look back, it seems the time went by very fast. Throughout the year, we might have made several mistakes, achieved several milestones, walked on some uncovered paths and made a lot of memories. As the year comes to a close, we look at what we’ve achieved, and remind ourselves that it was just the beginning.
It has been a privilege for me and my team to serve you, the homeowners of this magnificent golf estate, during the past year and we look forward to a new year where we can continue to make Kingswood the most sought-after residential golf estate on the Garden Route.
Our maintenance teams worked tirelessly to prepare the estate for the many visitors coming to grace us with their presence during the festive season. We know that they will leave Kingswood in the new year rested and with a warm heart, having experienced the tranquil serenity of our estate; maybe some of them will even consider moving here.
As the year fades, may your spirit soar with the excitement of what’s to come. It’s time to say goodbye to 2024 and welcome 2025 with open arms. The Kingswood HOA team will take a well-deserved break from 21 December 2024 to 6 January 2025, but should there be any need for urgent attention, our on-site security control room and site security manager will be very happy to assist.
I am reminded of the following quote by Vern McLellan: ‘What the new year brings to you, depends on what you bring to the new year.’
Wishing you and your family a blessed Christmas and a happy new year! I hope you enjoy this edition of The BUZZard.

We have officially entered into the final month of 2024, and these are the last few days of this year before we embark on the new journey of 2025. When we look back, it seems the time went by very fast. Throughout the year, we might have made several mistakes, achieved several milestones, walked on some uncovered paths, and made a lot of memories.
August 2024
Well done, Kingswood! The cold weather has not dampened the generous nature of our homeowners, and we thank everybody who made a contribution to the Mandela Day drive in support of the ODIN (Oudtshoorn Dogs In Need) food and blanket drive.
May 2024
With a new year ahead of us, efforts on maintenance and projects started from the get-go, including our new Community Centre / Clubhouse project that finally kicked off with a soil-turning ceremony on 4 March 2024, attended by the mayor of George.
December 2023
It almost feels surreal that 2023 has come to an end. It was an exciting year at Kingswood Golf Estate, with many projects being undertaken successfully and challenges overcome. Further on in the newsletter, you will read more about some of the many successes achieved during this year.
August 2023
Is it just me, or does it feel as if the winter is taking forever this year? The above average rainfall we experienced since May provided plenty of challenges on the estate, not least of which due to the soil being completely saturated with water, causing muddy conditions everywhere.
April 2023
How time flies – it’s almost inconceivable that we are already in the second quarter of 2023. Autumn is upon us and the sun is rising later and setting earlier with the swallows already having migrated back to Europe.
December 2022
Another year has come and gone – and what a year it has been! This year was not without its challenges and obstacles to overcome, but there have also been many great accomplishments. And I believe 2023 will present more opportunities for growth for our wonderful estate.
September 2022
Spring is probably my favourite season. Right after the cold of winter, everything is just beginning to wake up and turn from brown to green, and it’s like a rebirth of the beautiful thing we call nature. Mother Nature has had her beauty rest and is ready to wake up and show us what she can do.
June 2022
The first six months of this year flew by at breakneck speed and as we reach the halfway mark, looking back, much was achieved on our beautiful estate.
April 2022
The first quarter of the year is already behind us, and if there were any thoughts that this year would afford us a respite from the challenges experienced in 2021, the shocking events unfolding in the Ukraine and the impact they are having on the world have put a swift end to any such hopes.
December 2021
Christmas is in the air and everybody is rushing to finish the year before taking a well-deserved break with friends and family. Our beautiful estate will be ready, mostly, to welcome your guests and family when they visit.
October 2021
Summer is finally here, evidenced by new growth and life on our beautiful estate. Flowers are in full bloom and the springbok and other wildlife on the estate are enjoying the new growth and succulence. We finally moved away from stringent Covid regulations and can almost breathe unobstructed free air. To those homeowners who lost friends and family to this virus, my deepest condolences.
June 2021
Despite all the challenges we had to endure in 2020, and continue to experience in 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, our community at Kingswood remains resilient and positive. The first half of 2021 zipped by and, apart from load shedding and municipal strikes, I have a very positive outlook for the remainder of the year.
Feb/Mar 2021
As I write my first 2021 CEO report to you, nearly two months of the year have flown by. In the previous newsletter I expressed the hope that, by 2021, we would have returned to a more normal way of life.
December 2020
While we did not envisage the year that has been 2020, we have continued to pursue our objective of enhancing the asset value of our estate through focused management and care.
November 2020
Some fabulous news is that we have finally become the owners of the golf course (yaaaay!) after many frustrating months of delay. The transfer went through on 27 October, and the HOA team is looking forward to this new chapter in the history of our magnificent estate.
