The heartbeat of Elaleni starts with its close-knit community of individuals who are passionate about conservation, love participating in outdoor activities and have a soft spot for all types of wildlife. While many estates across South Africa provide dedicated manicured areas that encourage community interaction, what separates Elaleni from other estates is that its landscape creates pockets of nature-inspired spaces for families and neighbours to engage with, the one-of-a-kind facilities create a hive of activity all year-round and the unique discovery events on site encourage residents to explore the vast lifestyle on their doorstep and meet the people from their neighbourhood.
Set along KwaZulu-Natal’s North Coast, Elaleni is the epitome of the small town charms of Sheffield Beach. Life is all about making the most of family time and meeting up with friends on the regular. Mountain biking, surfing, fishing, swimming at the rock pools and trail running are all part and parcel of the activities you will see North Coast residents taking part in, and these elements of everyday life have been integrated into Elaleni’s lifestyle offering.
Private oasis for residents
The secure setting of Elaleni, truly allows children to roam free and offers individuals the opportunity to engage with the great outdoors. As a sought-after estate for families to live, Elaleni presents a lifestyle that offers tranquillity and a bustling setting, security and privacy, as well as nature and modern living.
The Forest boardwalk and Clubhouse offer a serene scene that allows you to interact with nature and neighbours. From your home you could easily walk on foot to the Forest Clubhouse and seize the moment to meander through the Forest Boardwalk. The boardwalk wraps around the Clubhouse and gives residents a 750m venture through the lush Swamp Fig Forest where birdlife thrives. Meet friends and neighbours amongst the tall trees or enjoy a moment of peace and quiet. Make a date to join the community for yoga at the Clubhouse studio that overlooks the dam or hire the venue to host an evening dinner with the Swamp fig trees creating an enchanting space for memorable occasions.
Family time levelled up
Jogging along the streetscapes, you’ll pass regular dog walkers, active kids on their bicycles and couples meandering the nature trails. This is a family environment that treasures time spend in nature’s bounty. Forget TV time on the couch when you have a landscape to discover and friends that live around the corner.
There are a myriad of family facilities to enjoy. The Leisure Centre is currently under construction and is situated within the coastal forest side. This facility will become a go-to family space that will offer hours of fun throughout the year. Walk down with the children and make a splash in the pools. Fire up the braai pods and make a traditional day out in the sun. Embrace this resort-style centre and find something for the whole family.
On the Lifestyle section of Elaleni, you can find a space to unwind close to home. Elaleni’s new community centre, The Harvest Barn Wellness Centre, boasts gym facilities with change rooms, lap pool, a bespoke restaurant, kids’ play areas, braai spots and picnic spaces. All of these communal recreational centres are designed around the needs of modern families.

While Elaleni presents the ideal environment for living outdoors and embracing nature, it is the residents that band together to create that community feeling. It is the people of Elaleni, young and mature, who have helped establish the warm and welcoming home atmosphere you encounter the moment you drive through the gatehouse. It’s that personal touch, knowing neighbours by name and having developers who care about the lifestyle on offer, that set Elaleni aside from any residential estate within South Africa.
