Irene is a historic farming area on Centurion’s southern edge, home to the Smuts House Museum — former Prime Minister Jan Smuts’ residence — and the long-running Irene Village Market held on the farm each month.
Farmland character inside a growing city
Irene has kept a genuinely rural, agricultural feel even as Centurion has grown up around it, anchored by the working Irene Dairy Farm and its dairy shop, alongside newer residential estates that have developed on the area’s fringes over the past two decades. The mix of old farmland and new secure estates gives Irene a character unlike most of greater Centurion.
DStv installation in Irene
Irene’s mix of older farm-style homes, smallholdings and newer estate housing gets different approaches: standard single-view installs for freestanding properties, and estate-coordinated setups where body-corporate rules apply, with each property’s often larger stand assessed individually.
Signal repairs, Extra View and equipment
Irene follows the standard Highveld rain-fade pattern, with larger stands and mature farm trees a genuine factor in sightline planning on some properties. Standard equipment is a 60cm dish and Smart LNB with RG6 cabling.
