Incredible things are happening in so many parts of the North Coast, including the exceptional Zimbali Lakes development.
In the past year alone, Zimbali Lakes has marked several milestones, including the opening of the 18-hole Ernie Els Signature Course, the launch of Avanti Residences, and the TSC Supercar Centre development, as well as significant progress on the construction of the Zimbali Lakes Clubhouse. Zimbali Lakes also achieved its highest-ever sales, recording a historic R280 million in the first nine months of 2025!
North Coast residents have been watching with excitement as activity levels increase and on-site progress picks up. IFAHR, the master developer’s principal investor, deepened its commitment with a further R1.2 billion investment into Zimbali Lakes, accelerating development across the estate and fast-tracking several key assets, including the exciting Zimbali Square Retail Centre. Poised to redefine North Coast convenience and sophistication, Zimbali Square spans 15 000 sqm of contemporary, open-air retail and dining space and is anchored by Checkers, Dis-Chem, and Woolworths. The precinct will also feature a curated selection of premium tenants, blending shopping, leisure, and lifestyle in one destination.
The Ernie Els Signature Course has been a hive of activity since its opening in April 2025, and more than 7800 golfers have already experienced its challenge and charm (including high-profile tournaments such as the Sharks vs Saracens Charity Day, SA Rugby Union Invitational, and the BCX SuperSport Shootout).
“Zimbali Lakes is exponentially growing and expanding, and we feel the euphoria,” says Werner Burger, CEO of IFA Resorts & Hotels SA. “More importantly, we are demonstrating our commitment through immense financial and resource investment to create an estate that offers both luxury and legacy – a destination that will serve the North Coast community for generations to come.”
