Be aware of your minimal rights with Evergreen Lifestyle Retirement Villages.
I moved into Evergreen Noordhoek during mid Feb 2022 and moved out during mid June 2022 due to personal circumstances having changed. Although the Evergreen Group marketing blurb stresses Partners for Life, this is not true. It is a money making business that makes pensioners, in particular, pay heavily for little in return. I had to get approval to make an improvement to the nonexistent garden. My home was resold by Evergreen with a massive increase in the sale price after the 4 months I lived there. I believe that was due to the moneys I spent improving Evergreen`s property. In terms of the life rights agreement , I know I cannot claim the improvements I made to Evergreen`s property. In the four months I occupied the home, I did not make any changes to the building and I did not hang any pictures on the walls because I was aware of Evergreen`s refurbishment policy on future exiting the village. When I left the home after four months, in the same condition I took occupation, I got a refurbishment account from Evergreen for close to R20000. R10000 was retained by Evergreen from monies owed to me, for the said alleged refurbishment. Things are alleged to have been done, which was totally unnecessary, if done. The house was still new. Oiling runners of kitchen drawers, door hinges, repainting walls, repainting a wall where their plumber had to dig a hole to fix a leaking pipe, among other things was charged, to make up over the said R10000. The only thing they had to do was clean the bedroom carpets because the quality they put in was so poor that even barefoot prints were left on the carpets. I strongly advise anybody looking at an Evergreen life right, to take special notice of the onesided agreement in favour of Evergreen, and don't let your excitement to moving into an Evergreen village cloud your decision. I did let that happen to me. I lost a lot of money. In terms of the life rights agreement, I was refunded the purchase price I paid for the rights, less 5% of the new resale price, less refurbishment costs. Evergreen arbitrarily does the refurbishment. I am extremely disappointed and disgusted.

Lennie's Movers are super reliable and efficient at affordable cost.
If you want professional removal service contact Lennie's Movers of Table View, Cape Town. I used Lennie's to move my furniture and household effects from Cape Town to Margate, KZN, a week ago. Their quote was reasonable, their service was super efficient, nothing was too much trouble and they were on time in collecting and delivering. Excellent care was taken with my stuff in loading and offloading. Anel of Lennie's was so patient with my requests and acceding to them. I highly recommend them. I will use them again and when needed. They care for your goods as if it were theirs.

Biddulphs International for Stressful Removals
Biddulphs must be the worst removals service provider possible. My wife and I relocated from Mossel Bay to Cape Town using Biddulphs for the conveyance and storage of our household furniture and effects. We had to keep our goods in their storage facility in Cape Town for a month and thereafter delivered from their storage facility to our new home in Noordhoek on Wednesday 16 February 2022. What we received was shocking service, unbelievably disappointing. The furniture was severely scratched and damaged, the tumble dryer top was cracked, badly scratched and the door was smashed rendering it unusable, the one leg of the dining room table was hanging by a thread, the upright piano was damaged as the result of being dropped during the offload in Noordhoek, our microwave oven was missing and delivered a few days later dented but usable, and our priceless grandfather clock was and still is missing. Biddulphs claims that the glass to the door of the grandfather clock was smashed and they are trying to repair it. We have made numerous enquiries regarding the delivery of the clock to no avail. We believe it is either damaged beyond repair or it has disappeared. We took insurance on Biddulphs recommendation , namely with AON. Unfortunately we are experiencing the same disappointing service from AON. Noncommital, fill in forms, take pictures, go to the police station to report missing item and get a case number. We sent to AON the claim forms, pictures, case number and quotes for losses and damages. We had to plead to get a response, just to be asked for pictures again. Very disappointing. Relocating is stressful enough without all the stress caused by extremely bad service. We strongly suggest to anyone relocating to ignore the glowing marketing blurb Biddulphs uses. It is not what we have experienced. To this day Biddulphs and/or their insurers have made no advance in remedying our dilemma by having our furniture repaired, our tumble dryer replaced, and our grandfather clock delivered.

Beware of buying online!!!
I ordered a Sony dvd player online. I was shocked to receive from the couriers a damaged box, reflecting Sony dvd player on the packaging, that must have been dropped several times, opened and badly resealed. I have not opened the box for fear that the content is damaged. It looks like a recovery from the July uprising.To crown it all , it was not in a courier bag either. I am returning it to Hifi Corp. I will not accept this unprofessional service.

Service beyond expectation!!!
Leon vd Bergh of Flight Centre George goes the extra mile. Fantastic service. We have had to put our trip to Mauritius on hold because of that country banning South Africans entry due to Covid scare. Leon kept us updated all the time. Even contacting us on a Sunday, which is truly impressive. Superb service indeed!!!
