The Meadows

The development is perfect for anyone looking for an affordable modern George apartment to live in, or for an investor who wants to take advantage of the rewarding returns offered by the short-term or long-term rental market in the heart of the town’s medical hub. To facilitate hassle-free Airbnb income, Perch Short Stays will offer a complete turnkey service for investors, ranging from furnishing and marketing to management and maintenance.

Ideally located in a quiet but central cul-de-sac

The Meadows, as its name suggests, is located in a tranquil green area but still has the convenience of a central location. The site is located just four hundred metres from the shops and restaurants of York Street, at the end of a cul-de-sac that looks out onto the green belt of the Camfersdrift River – perfect for dog- walkers! – and offering incredible views of the Outeniqua Mountains. It’s also in the heart of George’s high-demand medical area: the couple of hectares between the Mediclinic George and the municipal hospital are packed with specialists’ consulting rooms, surgeries and dedicated clinics of various disciplines – ensuring a constant flow of top-quality tenants for buy- to-let investors.

The convenience of a central location

The location also opens up many of the greatest gifts of living in George, most notably golf – lying within ten minutes of the gorgeous George municipal golf course – and mountain-biking, with convenient access to the rewarding trails of the Outeniqua Mountain Park. It’s also within easy reach of the Garden Route Botanical Gardens, and the Outeniqua Park Rugby Stadium, and is surrounded by a plethora of fine restaurants, coffee shops and takeaways. Situated just ten minutes’ drive from the George Airport and easily reached from the N2, the location also offers convenient access to the coast, with popular beaches like Victoria Bay, Herold Bay and Wilderness just 20 minutes’ drive to the south.

Distinctive contemporary architecture in a wonderful natural setting

The Meadows is a four-storey residential building consisting of an exceptionally landscaped ground-floor entrance and parking level, and three levels of apartments, all served by a lift. The 38 one and two-bedroom apartments are spacious and well-lit, and orientated to benefit from the spectacular mountain views the site offers.

The site is well positioned on an established riverine green belt, but lies within walking distance of the centre of town. To this wonderful natural setting, The Meadows brings a modern blend of contemporary and domestic architecture, expressing the use of traditional industrial red brick and metalwork, contrasted with off-white plastered walls and strong contemporary charcoal aluminium elements.

The overall orientation is to the north, with the three sides of the building forming a sunny, rooftop courtyard terrace offering public shared spaces for residents. The professionally designed landscaping of The Meadows features distinctive vertical planting and screens on some of the terraces.
