BEAuTy OF WATERFALL

Photographs by Franz Rabe of Natural Photography

Those living and working within

Waterfall are fortunate enough to

enjoy a multi award-winning urban

development that is secure, easily

accessible from major highways,

has a world-class fibre optic and

wireless communication network,

as well as on-site alternative energy

provision. The real beauty, however,

lies in the fact that Waterfall is also

still in tune with nature.

B esides having been designed as a safe, walkable,

bikeable city with parks and green areas within
the CBD, much care has been taken to preserve
the 300 hectares of greenbelt and 80 hectares of
indigenous parkland on the property – along with the rich
resident bird and wildlife. When it comes to landscaping,
Waterfall has embraced the Highveld’s indigenous,
water-wise plants and trees, cleverly integrating these
with everything you would expect from a modern city:
shopping centres, schools, office parks and commercial
buildings, hotels, a hospital and 10 residential estates.

It is no secret that the Highveld climate is one of the best
in the world, and so Waterfall has made the most of this to
facilitate outdoor living. With 37km of hiking and biking trails
along the Jukskei river that meanders across the property,
many fishing dams, play parks and even a 20km mountain
bike track, residents get to enjoy a superb quality of life that
takes away concerns for safety and replaces it with a sense of
well-being – all within the heart of Johannesburg. Benches,
viewing decks and bird hides are also located at several intervals
along the river, allowing residents to stop and take a breath
while they admire the tranquillity of their surroundings.

Why don’t you do just that, right now? sit back,
relax and enjoy the natural beauty of Waterfall,
showcased across the next few pages.
