RAVENSWOOD RETIREMENT VILLAGE IN SEASIDE TOWN

Ravenswood retirement village is located on the west bank of the Kowie River in the sea side town of Port Alfred in the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa.

Our village is conveniently close to the central business district area, Rosehill Mall, the hospital, Royal Port Alfred Golf Club, Kelley`s blue flag beach and the navigable Kowie River. The small boat harbour at the Royal Alfred Marina offers safe berthing for leisure boats including sea going vessels.

For sportsmen and women there is the Royal Port Alfred Golf club, two bowling clubs and an active tennis and croquet clubs.

Ravenswood is a sectional title village of 42 cottages of varying sizes as well as a community centre with library, all with established gardens. As soon as one enters our village and sees the green and white cottages one experiences a pleasant ambience. Because of the modest number of homes our village tends to be quieter and new friendships can be developed quickly.
