The Newspaper | Malmesbury: A Rising Destination Blending Rural Charm with Modern Living
Malmesbury is quickly becoming a sought-after destination for tourists and residents alike, thanks to its unique blend of rural charm and modern development. Traditionally rooted in agriculture, the town is now seeing significant growth, driven by the introduction of De Zwartland Werf, an 11-hectare mixed-use development by Devmark Property Group.
Conveniently located along the N7 and Voortrekker Road, this development is transforming Malmesbury into a vibrant hub of commercial, medical, and residential activity, attracting a variety of visitors and investors.
De Zwartland Markt, a 37,000m² shopping precinct with 50 stores, sits at the heart of this transformation. The market offers a lively shopping experience where visitors can enjoy fresh produce from local farms along with other goods. The town’s appeal is further enhanced by the opening of Crestcare Private Hospital in August 2024. This modern facility brings much-needed healthcare services to the area, providing peace of mind for both residents and visitors. For those exploring the Swartland’s natural beauty or its renowned wine routes, the availability of local healthcare services adds another layer of comfort and convenience.
Looking ahead, De Zwartland Werf will introduce De Zwartland Manor, a retirement estate offering easy access to healthcare and essential services. The development also includes residential apartments and office spaces, making Malmesbury an ideal location for those seeking both a connected lifestyle.
Malmesbury’s accessibility is further boosted by the ongoing upgrade to the N7 highway. SANRAL’s R3.5 billion investment has improved connectivity with the completion of 40km of dual carriageway and multiple interchanges, making the town more accessible to both leisure travellers and business ventures. With its blend of agricultural heritage, modern amenities, and improved infrastructure, Malmesbury is quickly rising as a top destination for those seeking a perfect balance of country living and urban convenience.
