Erasmuskloof
The Eastern suburbs of Pretoria have become fairly popular and sought after in recent years largely due to the fact that their unique location shields its residents away from the congestion and noise pollution of the capital city’s inner CBD. The lovely and peaceful hamlet of Erasmuskloof epitomises this and has much to offer its visitors. With an enviable geographical position, Erasmuskloof is close to the N4 highway which goes directly into the city and has access to the very best of Pretoria’s top-rated attractions. This is the ideal location for those that want to be close enough to different amenities, but also want a retreat to come and rest in after their day of fun and excitement.
With its almost country/rural atmosphere, as you would expect most of Erasmuskloof’s charm comes from being outdoors. The scenery here is gorgeous and the homes are modern and in pristine condition; popular pastimes to enjoy include fishing, bird watching, horse riding, and golf. Furthermore, as mentioned already, the suburb’s good geographical location means that all the important locations are either in close proximity or within reasonable distance; these include the International Airport in Johannesburg, which is approximately 45 minutes away, the Union Buildings just 20km away, and Menlyn Shopping Centre and the Rietvlei Dam, which are both a mere 5km away.
With the eagerly anticipated Soccer World Cup approaching, many travellers locally and abroad are looking for accommodation close to the venues. Erasmuskloof is ideal in this regard as it is only 8km from the Loftus Versfeld Stadium and 45km from the famous Ellis Park ground in neighbouring Johannesburg. Again, visitors to the world cup can look forward to enjoying all the action of the tournament while having a terrific retreat to return to once the game has finished.
