Ce que vous allez adorer dans ce logement
Our house is very comfortable and cozy, with a large garden and a private pool. It is located in a very safe and comfortable estate with highest security standards. The house comes with four bedrooms and is well equipped with everything needed for a relaxing stay. It is open plan, very airy and filled with light, yet not hot in summer. It features a large terrace with a build in barbecue/ brai for lovely al fresco evenings, a dining lounge and another tv & fireplace lounge. The house is surrounded by a well maintained lush garden with a lot of big trees, plants and flowers. There is a nice pool to cool down in summer and ample private parking space in the yard. Our garden is a paradise for kids who will have a lot of fun with a large trampoline and a lot of toys to play with inside and outside. A great company are our two bunnies Cookie and Brownie, who are living in a large house with play pen in the garden. They are tame and very cute. Our gardener is taking care of them so you do not need to worry about cleaning, but you may feed them if you like. We also have two gentle cat ladies, Schoki and Lolli, but they are staying outside.

We live in the beautiful Silver Lakes Golf and Wildlife Estate in the East of Pretoria, which is a very popular area of Pretoria. It is known to be one of the most secure residential estates in South Africa. The estate offers a championship 18 hole golf course, clubhouse, restaurant, tennis courts, swimming pool, squash courts, play parks, walkways and a nature reserve area where residents can go for an afternoon drive to view game and have a sundowner next to the beautiful lake. The café and restaurant with great views is just a few minutes walk from our house. There is even a convenience store nearby. Just outside of the estate you will find two well kept shopping centers with everything needed: grocery stores, pharmacy, restaurants, atm, car wash, post office etc. Private medical centres are nearby as well.
