Waterkloof, Pretoria
Casa Sunshine is premium self-catering accommodation in Pretoria East: a two bedroom, two bathroom apartment in King’s Cross, a gated estate in Waterkloof. There is artwork on the walls, a kitchen you can properly cook in, a desk with decent light, and a balcony that keeps the afternoon sun. It was furnished to be lived in for a week at a time, not just slept in for a night.
We host Casa Sunshine ourselves and answer our own messages, usually within the hour. Send a note through Airbnb or Booking.com about early arrivals, longer stays, a cot, or whether the desk is any good.
The parts of a stay that usually take effort have already been dealt with, so there is nothing to organise once you arrive.
Fresh linen, folded towels, coffee in the cupboard and the small things you would otherwise have packed.
Self check-in from 14:00, free parking behind an access-controlled boom, no keys to collect from anyone.
Not a call centre. Messages come straight to the people who own the place, and the same hosts look after every stay.
King’s Cross was built as a lifestyle estate. The pool, the padel court, the restaurant and the playground are all a short walk from the front door, and all included in the stay.
Everything listed is in the apartment or on the estate, not a shared amenity somewhere down the road.
Cami’s Café is inside the estate. Castle Gate Lifestyle Centre covers groceries, and Menlyn Maine is the nearest large shopping and restaurant precinct.
The exact address and gate access are sent once your booking is confirmed.
People searching for a place to stay in Pretoria East usually have one of three areas in mind. Castle Gate sits between all three, which makes it a practical base whichever one you meant.
Castle Gate is on the Waterkloof side of the ridge, with the embassies, Brooklyn and the older Waterkloof suburbs a short drive north. Quieter and greener than the Menlyn precinct, without being far from it.
Menlyn Park shopping centre, Menlyn Maine and the SunBet Arena are ten to thirteen minutes away. If your meetings are there, this is a whole two-bedroom apartment rather than a studio, with parking that is free.
Casa Sunshine is a serviced apartment as much as a self-catering one: linen, towels and a clean handover are done for you, and there are weekly and monthly rates for consultants, contractors and anyone between homes. Ask with your dates.
Through Airbnb or Booking.com. Both listings are linked on this page. We do not take direct bookings.
