Umhlanga, with its mixture of coastal town charm and urban skyscrapers, is a sought after area both as a holiday destination and great residency options. Izinga Eco-Estate, developed by Balwin Properties, is one of the premier residential communities in South Africa. The Estate is designed with an emphasis on sustainability, security and community wellbeing. Surrounded by a lush greenbelt, the Estate combines natural serenity with modern conveniences beautifully.
Living in Umhlanga opens up opportunities for a vibrant and varied lifestyle with the vast attractions and activities available. Izinga Eco-Estate complements this aspirational lifestyle with its prime positioning being a short distance from iconic locations such as Gateway Theatre of Shopping, the buzzing Umhlanga Village, Oceans Mall, Umhlanga beaches and Sibaya Casino & Entertainment Kingdom. Also a short drive away is King Shaka International Airport, and with easy access to the N2 and M4 allows residents connectivity not only to greater parts of Durban, but also the world. The Estate’s proximity to medical facilities like the Busamed Gateway Private Hospital and Netcare Umhlanga Hospital enhances that sense of surety should residents need their services.
Of course, with these great lifestyle offerings comes robust security features to ensure peace of mind, whether your children are playing outdoors, you’re coming home a little late or locking up for some time away. This secure estate offers two and three-bedroom apartments that are Wi-Fi ready and equipped with eco-friendly appliances, prepaid electricity metres, and ultra-modern finishes. The inclusion of high-end appliances from brands like Samsung and SMEG, part of Balwin Properties’ Signature Collection, adds a touch of luxury. The two and three-bedroom apartments are available, with three-bedroom options starting from R2 999 900, with no transfer duty or bond costs payable.
Boasting a welcoming space, Izinga Eco-Estate caters for a diverse range of residents. With the on-site amenities, the Estate accommodates everyone, from young families to the older generation looking to spend their golden years. Featuring scenic park areas, childrens’ playgrounds, pet-friendly spaces, and a communal garden, residents are encouraged to spend time outdoors and socialise in shared areas.
Adding to Izinga Eco-Estate’s amenities, the much anticipated Lifestyle Centre will soon begin construction, as well as upcoming walking and mountain biking trails. The fitness and entertainment areas in the Lifestyle Centre will provide private and communal environments for relaxation and social interaction, fostering a feeling of inclusion and community for residents. Notably, the Lifestyle Centre will house a Discovery Vitality approved Training Science gym, indoor Padel courts, a swimming pool, wellness spa, and restaurant. While these facilities are still being developed, the Estate has established a relationship with Umhlanga Country Club so residents have access to Padel courts and not miss out on any action!
With a strong commitment to preserving and protecting indigenous flora and fauna, the Estate nurtures wildlife and creates a sustainable balance between urban living and nature. The Mediterranean-inspired architecture and African earthy colour palette of the homes are thoughtfully designed to blend harmoniously with the natural surroundings to maintain the connection to nature and still offer scenic views.
The beauty of residents living in Izinga Eco-Estate is that they can enjoy access to so many different activities and offerings on their doorstep within this quiet and secluded neighbourhood, while also still having the opportunity to be closely connected to the heart of vibrant Umhlanga.
