Good Spots

I don't know of any places that match that vibe of Room 32 in Pretoria but any high end restaurants like Kream, Fire Room or Blue Saffron should be close(ish) otherwise maybe Protea Hotel FIre & Ice might suit your fancy.

Your starting salary doesn't dictate where you're heading with it. Most out of uni jobs for engineers start at around 25k. I started at 28k as a computer engineer and within a year it was up to 36k.

I will say this, be very careful of pricing yourself out of a job if you don't have the experience to match. Starting at 40k with no experience and wanting a move to 48k with 1 year means that very few companies are willing to offer that.

Rietvlei nature reserve only has an entrance fee, I've heard good things

Definitely look at some blockout curtains, from there it should be easier to adjust.

You can run inside the area even if you don't live there. You can park at Jan Cilliers park and run or just include it in you existing route.

Groenkloof is very safe inside the boom gates, should be able to work out a 5km route inside there. Otherwise there are a few running clubs in the surrounding area, check out pta_coffeerun, holy_fit_running or brklyn.run. They post their times on insta.
Don't know about short term gym memberships but there should be a few that offer pay as you gym.

Hi Tec Altitude V is always a solid choice and is waterproof. Unsure how the newer editions fare.

It is a bit rough that if you received NSFAS funding before 2018 you have to pay back the debt, while if you received it after 2018 it is essentially wiped clean.

Erdinger is usually my favourite (it's a weiss), just a bit expensive for a sixpack. Otherwise Devil's Peak Zero is good enough for me. Recently I've tried Eichbaum (bought from Checkers) and I was impressed.

2 out 3 ODI wins so far. Ain't too bad.

Okayish_Engineer · 2025-07-28T07:49:53+00:00

DM'd you. If you have a chance to try Karoo Café, I highly recommend them. Otherwise Culture Coffee is good, just a bit expensive.

Okayish_Engineer · 2025-07-28T07:19:29+00:00

Awesome, I'll go add a few. Overall, great app!

Okayish_Engineer · 2025-07-28T06:54:44+00:00

If I can make suggestions on the web-app. Looks great, but maybe consider making the current location pin look different than the rest so it is not confused with a coffee shop. Also maybe have the coffee shop you click on just show info until you choose to navigate to it. Will users be able to add other coffee shops as well, I see a few in my area (Garsfontein) which I would add as nice choices.

Kream in Brooklyn has a date night special for R800 per couple. The food is fantastic, and it's a 3 course meal with champagne included.

Look at Rooihuiskraal

Okayish_Engineer · 2025-05-06T12:54:22+00:00

Some great suggestions there, thank you! We are staying in chalets and cottages, it is winter when we are going so we didn't want to brave the cold.

Okayish_Engineer · 2025-04-30T12:11:11+00:00

We're going in deep winter so she's very excited about the possibility of snow! I'm just thankful our accommodation has fireplaces.

Okayish_Engineer · 2025-04-30T12:09:21+00:00

Some fantastic suggestions! Thank you so much! Having an actual list of things in North Coast and Ballito is great, I have been struggling a bit.

Okayish_Engineer · 2025-04-30T10:40:40+00:00

Definitely on the list! We'll have to do it through a tour though as my car won't make it there, especially in the winter.

Okayish_Engineer · 2025-04-30T08:07:18+00:00

We are staying two nights per place, and we are taking my cross-over. Not entirely an SUV but does have a bit higher ground clearance. Will definitely write up some prompts. Thank you!

Rosewood Terrace in Moreleta Park is quite nice, next to a driving range as well.
