About The Area

Set in the heart of Gauteng, the hotel is a short drive from a wide range of interesting places of interest - the perfect location to be both away from it all and in the swing of things. Centurion is situated in Pretoria, north of Johannesburg, in the Gauteng province of South Africa. Although Gauteng is the smallest of all the provinces in South Africa, it is highly urbanised and has the second-largest population of the nine provinces. The climate is mostly influenced by the high altitude of the region. Even though the province is at a subtropical latitude, the climate is comparatively cooler, especially in Johannesburg, which is 1700m above sea level (while Pretoria is at 1330m above sea level). Most precipitation occurs as brief afternoon thunderstorms; however relative humidity never becomes uncomfortable. Winters are crisp and dry with frost occurring often in the southern areas. Snow is very rare, but has occurred on some occasions in the Johannesburg metropolitan area. Gauteng is the commercial and industrial powerhouse of the country and indeed of southern Africa. Gauteng is a cosmopolitan, multicultural mix of people from all walks of life, from all corners of the world. Gauteng's main attraction is big business, but there is so much more ... museums, galleries, historical battlefields. Gauteng is also an entertainment playground offering world-class restaurants, shebeens, shopping malls and music venues.
