East of the city centre of Pretoria is the neighbourhood of Garsfontein that manages to maintain an impression of calm and tranquillity. Garsfontein is a relatively new suburb, but houses here are large, and their gardens green and cultivated. Some of the clusters are thatched, giving them a distinctly earthy and rural feel. Garsfontein is well organised - churches, private hospitals, and Menlyn shopping centre, its shops and entertainment facilities are all close by, and access to the N4 and N1 is effortless. Woodhill Golf Estate, an 18-hole championship course is situated in Garsfontein.
