Muckleneuk is a neighborhood located southeast of Pretoria, South Africa.
The name of this area, which includes apartment buildings in the north and various-sized estates in the center and south, comes from when the local parcel of Elandspoort Farm was purchased by George Walker, whose family owned a property in Scotland by that name. Meaning "corner" or "curve," the name was used for 3 neighborhoods of Pretoria in succession, including the modern Muckleneuk in 1914.
Muckleneuk lies to the south of Sunnyside, to the north of Lukasrand, to the west of Bailey's Muckleneuk, and to the southeast of Pretoria Central. It is bordered on the east by Nelson Mandela Drive, on the north by Justice Mahomed Street (formerly Walker Street), on the west by Florence Ribeiro Avenue (formerly Queen Wilhelmina Avenue), and on the south by Willem Punt Avenue, Devenish Drive, and Kruin Street. Principal thoroughfares include Berea Street (east-west) and Bourke Street (north-south). Most of the mansions are separated from the street with high fencing.
The quarter's houses include examples of the work of famed architects such as Gerard Moerdijk, Lockwood Hall, and Sir Herbert Baker, as well as the Zuid-Afrikaans Hospital, the University of South Africa (UNISA) Art Gallery, Illyria House, and the Portuguese and Egyptian embassies. It is located near UNISA's main campus.
Partly situated on a hill, the heights of Muckleneuk provides a panoramic view of downtown, the Union Buildings, and the UNISA campus.
