The Rivonia shopping precinct is centred on Rivonia Boulevard, Rivonia, Sandton, and runs from approximately Mutual Road (8th Avenue) to 10th Avenue.  There is a cluster of outlying businesses from south of 11th Avenue to 12th Avenue (see separate page here).

To get to central Rivonia, you would probably travel along Rivonia Road.  From the N1 Motorway, take the Rivonia off-ramp and turn South (towards central Sandton).  From central Sandton, travel north on Rivonia Road.  Turn east (that's left if you are travelling southwards, right if northbound) at one of the following intersections: Eighth Ave / Mutual Road (towards McDonalds), Ninth Avenue T-junction, or 10th Avenue.  For Rivonia Boulevard between 9th and 10th Avenues, enter at Ninth Avenue, as the Boulevard is a one-way going North (towards Tenth) in that area.  Eden Crescent runs South next to Rivonia Road.

Parking: There is some free open-air parking on the street (avoid the tow-away zone between Mutual Road and 10th Avenue, particularly the brick-paved area).  The various centres all have plenty of parking.  Parking is free for half an hour at Rivonia Village, 90 minutes at Rivonia Square.
