WELCOME TO GROOT PARYS

Retire in style, on a historic wine farm

Groot Parys is an award-winning over-50s lifestyle estate with the best of both worlds: a peaceful atmosphere, with Paarl’s everyday conveniences only minutes away. A world-class Lifestyle Centre, pristine gardens, state-of-the-art security and 24/7 emergency health support on site make it easy to live life beautifully.

I’ve lived in Paarl for many years, and when I started planning for retirement, Groot Parys simply made sense. I love the location, the architecture and the gardens. Every morning, it feels as though I’m waking up on a farm.
