01 / Start here
Choose the right part of Polokwane and Turfloop.
For University of Limpopo students, the important reference is the Turfloop campus in Mankweng. It is outside central Polokwane, so a listing described only as Polokwane can mean a very different journey. Students at city-based colleges should use their own teaching addresses instead.

Search by your campus.
The university name is a useful start, but the campus or faculty location gives you a more accurate commute. Use these institution searches to see relevant ResMate listings.
03 / Daily route
Test the commute.
Do not judge the commute by the word Polokwane alone. Ask about morning departures, the last return and fares between the property and Turfloop. Make sure practical and exam schedules fit the available service.
