Rosemary Hill Trails

Rosemary Hill is a consistently popular trail destination in Pretoria East — a privately owned farm with three colour-coded MTB loops through rosemary fields and bluegum woodland, a quality coffee shop, and the rare offering of bike rentals that make it accessible to cyclists who cannot bring their own equipment. The venue has a relaxed, welcoming character that distinguishes it from the more performance-oriented trail centres elsewhere in Gauteng.

The Trail Network

The 5km short loop is genuinely beginner-friendly — flat open field singletrack through the property’s rosemary cultivation areas, aromatic and pleasant on a still morning with minimal gradient or technical demand. The 10km intermediate loop is the most popular option: flowing singletrack that extends into the bluegum woodland sections for variety, adds moderate climbs for a proper workout, and finishes with a fast descent back to the café area. The 33km long loop (see dedicated listing) provides the full Rosemary Hill experience for riders wanting maximum distance.

Bike Rentals

Rosemary Hill offers hardtail MTB hire — one of the very few Gauteng trail venues to provide this service, making it practical for visitors from outside Pretoria, cyclists travelling on business, or beginners wanting to try MTB before investing in a bike.
