Welgemoed has grown gracefully since its establishment some 50 years ago and has retained its peaceful country atmosphere. Its scenic beauty, tranquillity and easy access to schools, hospitals and shopping centres makes the purchase of aWelgemoed property most appealing and an excellent investment.
