Kidbrooke Place is a modern, full-service retirement village in Hermanus, created to support over-60s with independence, community connection and well-managed care.

Norman and Doris Hudd donated their 196-acre protea farm to establish a retirement village with dignity and compassion at its heart. Their homestead became the original frail care centre, and their legacy lives on in the spirit of the village today.
The village was developed under the Hudd Trust, a non-profit trust established in 1988 with the principal aim of providing residential accommodation to aged and retired persons. The Trust continues to guide Kidbrooke Place’s long-term stewardship and values-based approach.

Kidbrooke Place Retirement Village was thus developed under this premise.
Kidbrooke Retirement Village is administered, controlled and managed by the Hudd Trust under a structure comprising four areas:
