Pinehurst occupies former agricultural land on a viewsite overlooking the Durbanville Hills and the Simonsberg.

Its two earlier stages, both gated villages, Summerwood and Longwood, consisted of 350 and 280 separate title houses respectively.  All have been sold and occupied.  Wild Peach, a sectional title project, quickly sold out as did a further 100 group houses outside of the gated villages. Having completed the construction and sale of nearly 900 homes in the first two stages of Pinehurst, Garden Cities also built two group housing projects, Drie Bergen and Donkervliet, totalling 70 houses, and is now making swift progress on  the third of its gated villages, the 600-house Oakwood.

The access-controlled Oakwood village has larger than usual houses selling for between R1 million and R1.5 million.

Like all the phases of this northern areas development, and Garden Cities projects throughout the Peninsula, landscaping is a major feature at Oakwood.  The site will be planted with groves of more than 2 000 olive trees, the fruit of which will eventually be harvested, and the revenue used to the benefit of the residents’ association.

In the first part of the development of Oakwood, which will be protected by electrified fencing, an 800-metre block and palisade fence perimeter wall has been built together with a gatehouse and controlled access.
