Ons Tuis Machteld Postmus is a retirement complex at 225 Mackenzie Street, Brooklyn, Pretoria, run by Ons Tuis (OTMT NPC).

Basic nursing care is available in an emergency or illness, including blood pressure checks, nail care and basic help with wound care. Lunches can be ordered from a private company on weekdays at the resident's own cost. A bus goes to Brooklyn Mall on Tuesdays and to Hillcrest on Thursdays.
