When taking time out for a holiday, Pretoria East is the perfect area in which to stay. It’s a quiet, peaceful place with pristine, leafy suburbs that are ideal for those with families. Part of the reason this place is so well put together is because it’s a diplomatic area, being close to the government offices, as well as many international embassies.
Staying in this suburb means you’ll be situated far away from the hustle and bustle of the CBD, but still close enough that a trip into the heart of Pretoria or Johannesburg is still convenient. The suburbs are all close to the N1 which means driving around is simple, even if you don’t know the area.
Whatever your tastes or requirements in regards to a rental vehicle, with Pretoria East car hire from Tempest you’ll find the appropriate one for your holiday needs. Contact Tempest today to discover what is available.
If it’s retail therapy you’re after during your trip to Pretoria East, then you’re in luck. These quiet suburbs are home to Menlyn Park and Brooklyn Mall. At these shopping centres, you’ll find a multitude of clothing stores, supermarkets, movie houses and restaurants.
Brooklyn Mall is known as the place to visit for high-fashion boutiques and exclusive restaurants. Menlyn Park, on the other hand, offers exciting entertainment for children of all ages, with karting tracks and a bungee trampoline.
As part of a chain of theatres, Menlyn boasts the same beautiful, old American-style wooden barn setting that has made them iconic in South Africa. This venue hosts unique and original musical acts and corporate functions, as well as fundraising events. It’s always worth taking a look to see what’s happening at the Barnyard Theatre while you’re on holiday in Pretoria East.
Learn about early farming in South Africa at this fully restored Victorian-styled farmstead in Silverton. Here, you and the family can take a guided tour through the farm and the house, as well as see fully-functional farm equipment at work.
An extension of the National Cultural History Museum, the home of Sammy Marks offers visitors an authentic look at the interior of a Victorian house. Let history and time stand still for just a moment as you take in the splendour of the building and the grand gardens. Enjoy some tea or a picnic on the sculpted lawns. A visit to the Sammy Marks Museum is well worth the 23km drive from Pretoria.
Out in the bushveld on the eastern edge of Pretoria, you’ll find a truly beautiful and challenging golf course at the Silver Lakes Country Club. As the name suggests, this course has a number of water traps dotted across the 18 holes. In terms of facilities, this club has plenty of different practice areas, as well as places to simply enjoy the wildlife and the gorgeous setting.
