Best Luxury Retirement Award Criteria
The Luxury Lifestyle Awards (LLA) Committee has strict selection criteria. For best luxury retirement development, the criteria are varied and account for factors in 10 different categories. Tokai Estate was found to be outstanding in all of the following categories:
Reputation
The LLA Committee assesses for a history of satisfied residents and families.
Tokai Estate has achieved a reputation as the most luxurious and rewarding of all retirement villages in the Western Cape, and with good reason. The village provides a wide array of top-class amenities, services, and quality in all aspects. This proven history has led to the name ‘Tokai Estate’ becoming synonymous with excellence in every regard.
Credibility
Candidates are reviewed for their track record of quality service provision and the trustworthiness of the organization as represented in licensing, accreditation, and awards.
Tokai Estate is proudly offered in partnership with Old Mutual, a licensed financial services provider. This partnership brings together the expertise from a diverse group of professionals and helps to ensure that service excellence is consistently achieved.
Personalisation
The ability of the retirement development to adapt the specific needs of the resident are considered.
Faircape Life is considerate of the changing demands of retirees and especially the impact that the COVID-19 pandemic has had on residents. Tokai Estate adapted to the needs of their residents during this time in many ways including offering restaurant quality home catering for private functions. In addition the Healthcare Centre multidisciplinary team has been expanded with additional doctors, social workers, physiotherapists and occupational therapists to ensure residents have the care they need on their doorstep.
Location
The situation of the development is assessed for its proximity to services such as hospitals, and amenities like shopping centres, as well as beautiful scenery.
The village achieves top honours in this category. With breathtaking views of the Constaniaberg Mountains Silvermine Nature Reserve and Table Mountain – Tokai Estate is perfectly positioned for a rewarding lifestyle. Wine estates, golf course, shopping malls, and more are all within easy reach.
Sustainability

In addition to the solar power panels installed at the estate, the landscaped gardens are maintained by a staff horticulturalist to ensure that the plants are predominantly indigenous and can support local bird and bee populations.
