Woodgrove Village offers older adults all the living options.
Enjoy the country feel of the park-like surroundings which create a sense of peace and tranquillity.

Woodgrove Village is Mowana's premier retirement village and is situated centrally in the northern suburb of Wembley, in Pietermaritzburg. There is a sense of peace and tranquillity once inside the entrance gates. From independent living through to fully supported care, we offer the full spectrum of living options including catering and care services. The undeveloped wilderness space is a favourite area for walks and a haven for birds and other wildlife.

We have three community areas available to residents. The Louis Sennett centre includes a spacious dining room, pub and meeting area. The Community Centre is used for meetings and a range of dynamic social activities including watching sports on the big screen. The Library area is a space of tranquillity in which there are comfy couches to enjoy the books or complete a puzzle.

Independent Living in The Village

The 172 independent living units are offered on an extremely advantageous life rights basis, and range in size from 50 to 200 m². The 9 different size options ensure there is a unit to suit every lifestyle and pets are welcome.

We have a Village Nursing Service which offers a clinic service and emergency care. The option to age in place with carers is available. Our Maintenance team cares for the buildings, grounds and units.

Our price list as well as our floor plans are available for download. You can take a virtual tour too.

Thank you so much! You helped us raise R8340!We could never have anticipated the support we received for the Mowana Woodgrove Open Gardens. This year saw a record attendance of 350+ people raising a total of R7040 for Mowana Sunnyside Village with donations of toiletries being made over the two days as well. Additional cash donations, as a result of the campaign, continue to come in with R1300 being received by end October. Just WOW!!!In addition, we received such lovely compliments around the gardens, market and tasty treats from Capitol Caterers. Visitors seemed to enjoy exploring the estate, including visiting the apartments and residences on show. Overall, there was just such a lovely buzz. We are very grateful to staff and volunteers who all contributed to make the weekend such a success. #fundraiser #donations #blackwoodsopenmidlandsgardens #bettertogether #mowana #community ...
