SunnySide Attraction #1 - Loftus Stadium

One of South Africa’s top stadiums with a seating capacity for 50 000 people, Loftus Versfeld Stadium is situated in South Africa’s capital Pretoria (Tshwane). It was one of the 2010 FIFA World Cup venues, hosting five first-round matches and one second-round match.

Home turf of the Premier Soccer League dynamos Mamelodi Sundowns, the Blue Bulls Currie Cup rugby team and the Bulls Super 12 rugby squad, it was also one of the primary venues for the 1995 Rugby World Cup. In addition to being one of South Africa’s premier sporting venues, Loftus Versfeld is also a thriving venue for big concerts.

Tshwane, Pretoria, "Jacaranda City," ePitoli - this graceful city has enormous appeal, a fascinating history and is now a symbol of South Africa's true unity. It's an elegant, quiet city in complete contrast to its bustling neighbour, Johannesburg, which is just 50 kilomtres apart and less than an hour's drive away.

One of the major advantages to a stay in Sunnyside is its accessibility to town and Arcadia. Staying here means you can literally walk to the centre of the city and neighbouring suburbs. Whilst it may be something of a trek – roughly thirty minutes or so to the State Theatre – the walk, sometimes beneath the city's famed Jacarandas, is both interesting and flat, making it relatively easy.

Sunnyside, much like other older and more central suburbs of Pretoria, is laid out in an easy to navigate grid, its streets lined mostly with blocks of flats that date back to the fifties and sixties, most of them still comforting red brick, large balconied, multi-storey blocks. There are, of course, the towering blocks too, like the one that continues to remain above Sunnypark, the shopping centre that functions as the fulcrum of the suburb and has done since the 1970s, despite recently undergoing an overhaul to the tune of R300 million.
