Tranquility, Care and Comfort

The Formosa Garden Village (FGV) is a premium retirement village situated in Plettenberg Bay on the Western Cape’s Garden Route, a pristine and unspoiled part of our beautiful country. Situated on a north-facing slope with wonderful views of the Tsitsikamma Mountains, it is close to all major facilities such as shops, beaches, restaurants, medical and emergency services.

FGV has long been recognized as a beautifully maintained property with exceptionally high standards of care and a thriving social community.

Cottages

The Formosa Garden Village has 129 cottages consisting of either one or two bedrooms. Most of the 2 bedroom cottages are free standing. Cottage sizes vary from 56sq metres to 263sq metres. 

Cottages are set among landscaped gardens facing north with lovely views of the Tsitsikamma mountains. The cottages are positioned to allow for maximum privacy.

Healthcare Centre

Our healthcare facility plays a key role in ensuring our residents are well looked after and help is a call away in the case of any emergency. Over time, inevitably our health can deteriorate, making it vital to have access to excellent healthcare facilities. Our well-equipped, professionally staffed Healthcare Centre provides residents and members with multiple options based on the level of care required.

There is a general trend towards having greater independence, privacy and autonomy, and to this end  assisted living and mid-care can be provided in a person’s cottage, for those who are wanting to stay in their own familiar surroundings. Assisted living provides some assistance with daily activities whereas the Healthcare Centre is set up for people who need full-care from skilled medical professionals providing services daily.
