ESCAPE TO THE EXCLUSIVE WORLD OF LEGENDS PRIVATE RESIDENCE CLUB
Take a leisurely two and a half hour drive from the busting metropolis of Johannesburg City and escape to the splendour of the wild at Legends Golf & Safari Resort, where you can now own a second or holiday home, as personalised and private as the lifestyle to which you have become accustomed. Nestled in the shadow of the world famous Entabeni Mountain, you’ll find a world of tranquility and unsurpassed natural beauty.
This is the magnificent setting for one of southern Africa’s most environmentally sensitive areas and home to the internationally renown Legends Private Residence Club.
The concept of private residence club ownership is relatively new to southern Africa, designed to make owning a second, or holiday home a distinct and unique advantage. Imagine all the benefits of ownership, without the inconvenience of maintenance, security or administration. This is all taken care of in a personalised and nurturing manner on your behalf.
Legends Private Residence club ownership extends even further, introducing you to the exclusive world of IFA Hotels & Resorts and access to some of the most prestigious leisure properties in the world. This is a lifestyle only enjoyed by an exclusive few, sharing values and standards expected of the only internationally branded private residence club in South Africa.
This is a world of quality family time to enjoy awe-inspiring and rare moments, when you lose yourself amongst the beauty and splendour of the natural environment, experience the uniqueness of parasailing over the wild or jet skiing at nearby natural dams. Absorb the personal knowledge of highly experienced gaming experts when you complete a personal Ranger’s wildlife course, with an option of short or comprehensive programmes or simply take time out to relax and enjoy the beauty of Africa’s natural habitat.
Within the surrounds of the Private Residence Club facilities, beautiful, natural, moat protected islands allow you to view white lion unobstructed by fences in their natural surrounds, while you walk amongst the breathtaking presence of non-predator wildlife like sable, zebra, indigenous buck and giraffe on the golf course. The setting is pure wildlife, yet structured around a seamless merge of the indigenous reserve and the residential estate, which lie side by side.
With natural protection from free-roaming Big Five you are surrounded by one of the most prestigious signature golf courses in Africa - including the Extreme 19th, a golf hole challenged and mastered by only an exceptional few, and only accessible by helicopter. It attracts avid golfers to the resort daily, all seeking hospitality and first-class accommodation.
The entire resort is fully integrated into the natural landscape to complement the sensitivities of Africa's environmental heritage.
Private Residence Club membership is all about quality family time, exclusive getaways and most important of all, your own home away from home. Ownership has never been more desirable in Africa, or more exclusive. IFA Hotels & Resorts is proud to offer Legends Private Residence Club, the latest product in the group’s international bouquet of lifestyle investments, which due to global consciousness, will be extremely limited in membership.
Words on paper won’t translate the true splendour of this magnificent resort, so now is the time to find out more about joining this exclusive club, and owning your personal holiday home in a rare development, exclusive to Africa.

IFA HOTELS & RESORTS ACQUIRES ADDITIONAL STAKE IN BOSCHENDAL SOUTH AFRICA
July 2009
FA Hotels & Resorts (IFA HR) recently strengthened its interests in South Africa by acquiring a further 5.25% in Boschendal Limited, increasing its stake to 37.33%.
This acquisition is part of a set strategy by IFA HR to strengthen its geographic reach as a global developer of mixed-use integrated resorts. It also aligns with its subsidiary's strategy in South Africa (IFA Hotels & Resorts Limited) to deliver new premier resort and residential projects in South Africa.
Werner Burger, President and COO of IFA HR, said: "With our ability to introduce international investors, partners and hotel operators, we are able to explore real value creation by promoting new asset classes of property ownership. The internationally recognised Boschendal brand will be further elevated through our international network located in the Middle East, Europe, Asia, North America and Africa."
IFA HR is committed to creating a development that will complement its internationally recognised portfolio of top quality integrated resorts. IFA HR is now also responsible for all the sales and marketing of Boschendal Limited, allowing the company to utilise all its international offices and network across the world. Likewise, Boschendal welcomes approximately 200,000 guests per year, a vast audience for IFA HR to cross sell and promote its existing international portfolio of residences, resorts, private residence clubs and experiences.
"Our strong international strategic partnerships and relationships with partners such as Nakheel, Kingdom Hotel Investments, JCI, Tongaat Hulett Developments, United Investments Portugal and Raimon Land provides an outstanding synergy of skills adding significant value to our developments," added Burger.
The first phase of the development, the Boschendal Founder's Estates located among the vineyards on the slopes of the Simonsberg Mountain, will now be further improved with all related infrastructure. Current development plans for the second phase, the proposed mixed-use development on Boschendal's 2,240 hectare estate, includes residential homes set within villages of varying size, an upmarket retirement village, a boutique hotel and a mixed-use precinct combining shopping, offices and apartments. Ultimately only 7% of the 2,240 hectares will be covered by buildings and gardens.
In South Africa, IFA HR owns the Fairmont Zimbali Lodge and holds a 50% stake in the joint venture that is developing Zimbali Coastal Resort and is putting the finishing touches to the new Fairmont Zimbali Resort, expected to open in August 2009. IFA HR also holds a 50% stake in the Legend Golf & Safari Resort located in the Waterberg, close to Johannesburg, which recently received an award for being "Africa's Leading Tourism Development Project". The company also received "Africa's Leading Sport Resort" award for the Fairmont Zimbali Lodge.
