Pretville Film Set
Explore a colourful 1950s-style South African film set near Hartbeespoort, where constructed streets, classic cars and cinema screenings make a deliberately theatrical day-trip stop.

Keep exploring Johannesburg with our travel partners.
Pretville is a film-set town rather than a preserved historic settlement. Its pleasure lies in noticing how streets and shopfronts create a stylised period world, then comparing that setting with a film in the bioscope. The regular public opening pattern supports a weekend outing; allow substantial road time from Johannesburg and check the screening programme.
