Living life to the fullest

The estate boasts a wide range of outstanding facilities. The popular colonial-style clubhouse offers spectacular views of the golf course and boasts a pro shop, halfway house café, intimate upstairs members’ bar, wine cellar, convenience store, banqueting facilities for weddings, birthdays and events, charming restaurants and a children’s play area to create a family-friendly environment.

Outdoor enthusiasts are well catered for. Over and above the magnificent golf course, there are tennis courts, squash courts, a small sports field, a beach volleyball area, and a communal swimming pool. The estate also has an active fishing club, and members regularly drop a line in the stunning lakes in the estate – catch and release, of course.
And even non-anglers enjoy the dams – especially at sunrise and sunset when the resident wildlife, including sable antelope, kudu, nyala, impala, springbok, blesbok, reedbuck, steenbok and duiker, come down for a morning or evening drink. The tranquil surrounds of the estate offer meandering walkways, mountain-bike trails and communal parks to provide a stress-free escape from busy city life.

The estate captures luxury and comfortable family living. It optimises efficient planning and careful consideration to enhance residents’ estate living experience. In the same way that the estate provides a range of amenities, it offers a variety of home styles to suit your taste.

And it’s super-convenient. Ideally located close to shopping centres, schools and the N4 in the east of Pretoria, it’s an easy commute. But if you don’t fancy commuting, members may operate a business from their property, and even take advantage of the great conference facilities and restaurants.

Secure living

The secure lifestyle at the estate is maintained by well-trained security staff, state-of-the-art technology, and 24-hour response teams to provide peace of mind for its residents.
A visit to Silver Lakes promises to be a truly unique and memorable experience for residents and visitors alike, with the added comfort of knowing that you are in one of the most secure residential estates in the country.

Shift in management focus over the last year

• Management’s focus has shifted to prioritise:
• improvement of service delivery
• value-add services for members
• opportunities to get members involved, and to feel part of the family
• Provision is made for members to operate a business from their property.

Various additional clubs have been established in the Silver Lakes Country Club to cater for the interests of a broader demographic. The annual Spring Festival is a definite highlight. There’s lots of entertainment, including South Africa’s biggest bring-and-braai – almost 600 members attended in 2018.
