525ha game camp enclosed with a 2.7m fence.

King’s College at OB Village, an English-medium Christian school, is open on the 9.3ha site by Outeniquasbosch’s entrance gate. The site is approved and zoned with development rights for pre-primary, primary and secondary schooling, and children who live on the estate can walk or cycle to school.

The idea has been from the beginning to focus on convenience retail, shopping that will complement the traffic and accompanying feet that come with Outeniquasbosch residents and the Outeniquasbosch school.

Licensed drivers may only drive on designated roads with licensed vehicles. The deeper “veld” areas will remain reserved for jogging, cycling, etc. (non-motorised).

Only 25% of the total Outeniquasbosch surface will be developed, so that means 75% remains green and serves as habitat for our wildlife.

Outeniquasbosch is fenced off with a 2.7m game fence which is being upgraded in stages to an electric fence. We already have 24/7 boomed-off access control at our gatehouse. We have a sophisticated security camera system, including two 40x zoom PTZ cameras that patrol the green strips and fences, and we have also fitted a licence plate recognition camera that is registered on the NAVIC database, which means we are alerted as soon as any suspicious vehicle moves into our area. Security cameras are monitored off site.

Outeniquasbosch Wildlife Village boasts a 7.6ha resort zoning on our northern border against the beautiful Klein-Brak estuary. The planning is to develop a restaurant and a conference facility there, together with a boutique hotel in the final stage of the development.

The Outeniquasbosch Architectural Design Manual prescribes that every house must install sprinklers around its borders that can protect us in the unwanted event of a wildfire. The network is fed from Outeniquasbosch’s irrigation dam; in other words, it has an alternative water supply and therefore, even in extreme wildfire conditions, we will still be able to do effective fire fighting in Outeniquasbosch’s residential clusters.

They are named after the Magnificent Seven elephant bulls of the Kruger National Park. Read the stories on our Street Names Explained page.

Residents are permitted to have up to two pets (cats and/or dogs) per household. Pets must be kept either behind a fence or inside the house. Pet owners may walk their pets on the estate, provided they are kept on a leash.

As part of the Rules of Establishment from Mossel Bay Municipality, a condition was that the Municipality will provide services up to the boundary of the Development, but the Developer and the HOA will take them further into the Development and are responsible for supplying and maintaining services within the Development.

The following discounts can be seen on your Municipal bill:

• Electricity availability (with discount)
• Water availability (with discount)

The Municipality grants discounts on the Municipal accounts to the Outeniquasbosch Members, so that the HOA can collect the amounts equal to the discount awarded from the Member and thereafter utilise it for the maintenance of the relevant services within the Development. You will therefore be billed by the HOA for discounts granted.
When occupation is issued on your property, the availability levies fall away and the basic levies start. Basic levies are billed only by the HOA to the Member and not by the Municipality. Availability is supposed to fall away on the Municipal account immediately, but unfortunately it takes the Municipality around 3-4 months to make the adjustments. Please keep this in mind when you get to that point.
Availability and basic levies are therefore not related to water and electricity consumption. Water & electricity consumption is read on the meters per erf and billed accordingly each month.
