Comments:

There are many venues in the Magaliesburg where you can have a great meal.  Our favourite is KUMANDINE but there is also the Wicker Country Place, The Wimpy and many others.

This route assumes a stop at one of these Biker friendly venues for breakfast before pressing on for a bit of touring.

 
Outward Bound:

This route assumes you already know the way to Magaliesburg (one of the favourite breakfast run venues. If in doubt, check out Magaliesburg - Kumandine Restaurant via Satellite Tracking Station or Magaliesburg - Kumandine Restaurant via Krugersdorp Highway.

  • After having breakfast, leave KUMANDINE and turn right towards Magaliesburg.

  • Follow the road up the hill, cross the Railway line and proceed up to the next Stop street.

  • Turn right towards Koster (heading away from Magaliesburg Town) and follow the R509 to Koster

  • You’ll go past Boons and when you get to Derby (good idea to fill up now - about 180 km’s from Jo’burg), take the turn-off to Ventersdorp, don’t continue to Koster.

  • At the T-Junction turn Left towards Rustenburg (away from Ventersdorp) on the R30 Autumn)

  • This is a very scenic road which brings you to another T-Junction at the R24.

  • Turn Right to go into Rustenburg (Hunter's Rest is on the left - just over the Bult) and there are plenty of places to visit for Lunch (or Breakfast if you prefer)
Going Home:

Leaving Rustneburg you have several choices

Via Magaliesburg

Via the N4

  • Follow the R30 until you reach the N4 and take the Pretoria on-ramp
