Holistic wellness and green design make up the fundamental ethos of La Vie Nouvelle Retirement and Wellness Village
If a holistic lifestyle and innovative green design are what you’re looking for in a retirement venue, look no further than La Vie Nouvelle Retirement and Wellness Village, conveniently located in Broadacres, Gauteng.
The concept of holistic wellness – financial, physical, spiritual and emotional – forms the basis of the village’s ethos. This flows through from the specialised architecture and green design principles to the security measures and on-site wellness centre and amenities, among other benefits.
The village consists of 220 well-appointed units, varying from two- and three-bedroom simplexes to one- and two-bedroom garden cottages. A 47-bed frail-care centre forms part of the six-phase complex, currently due for completion by the end of May 2019.
