We've lived in South Africa since 1993. My wife is a local, our goal is to let you know the secrets to saving money on accommodation in South Africa's capital city - Pretoria. Our advice is based on scores of trips to Pretoria .

We lived in nearby Johannesburg from 1993 to 2006. In fact, Johannesburg’s rapid growth means that soon the two cities will be one large metropolitan area.

Right now Pretoria is less than 30 minutes from Johannesburg if there is no traffic. It is considered safer than Johannesburg and is a great alternative to Johannesburg if your flight schedule requires spending the night.

Already the accommodation market in Pretoria and the Johannesburg accommodation market are becoming one. Together they are in some ways representative of accommodation in South Africa. Varied and diverse.

The best time to visit Pretoria is when its thousands of jacaranda trees are in bloom. These trees produce a profusion of beautiful lilac and purple flowers in the spring (in October most predictably).

It is gives the city a canopy of purple splendor. This is also the source of its nickname – The Jacaranda City. Pretoria is almost as close to Johannesburg International Airport as Johannesburg is. So it really is a viable option if your flight schedule means you have to spend the night.

Though in Pretoria, from Johannesburg International Airport you can get here just as quickly as if you were going to the best Johannesburg hotels. You will love this elegant place – it is a favorite of ours since it also is very relaxing and not stiff. Pretoria Sheraton – A five star hotel that is close to the Union Buildlings. Very good service, fine location. If you like big hotels this is one to consider.However our favorite is Illyria House. Illyria is special. Both are wonderful hotels to use especially if going to travel on either the Blue Train or Rovos Rail. The Westcliff – There aren’t enough superlatives for this hotel. Located in Westcliff, one of Johannesburg’s oldest, wealthiest and most beautiful suburbs. Built into a cliff, the views over the leafy suburbs north of Johannesburg are wonderful. It has a unique hillside village feel since the suites are built up the cliff. There are golf cart shuttles that take you up and down. You’ll love this hotel! Interested?
