Beautiful Lodge. The green scenery is gorgeous. My favorite was the cat visitor 🐈 which I loved. She/He was very friendly and welcoming, they hung out with us for most of our stay. I loved that they kept a cat bedding in the house as well. This had to be one of the beautiful lodges in pretoria, I will definitely be coming back. I can't wait to try all other two properties.
I did not like that I got there late at night, it was my fault of course. I only stayed for one night, I did not get to fully experience my stay over there. Next time I will plan accordingly, and arrive on time to get the feel of the beautiful Lodge.

I love the lush green grounds and tasteful rooms, decorated to make you feel at home. I always feel relaxed when i arrive. Everything you need.Good WiFi and ample plugs by the bed. The sherry and chocolates are a nice welcome touch.I also love the water fountains. Ample parking.
Only down side this time was that when we opened the fridge door, the glass waterbottle was somehow hooked to the door and came crashing out onto the tile floor. I would suggest a plastic bottle or complimentary bottled water or even a mini bar with water for guests to purchase.

When we arrived at the guesthouse, the intercom system was out of airtime, so I had to call the number listed on Booking.com The lady on the phone asked for our location, and since I was unaware there were two guesthouses, I replied that we were in front of the brown gate. Her response was sarcastic and rude, and I could tell she was irritated with me. The lady who helped us check in, were very friendly!

The Duty Manager was amazing. She welcomed us, showed us to our room and then after a power failure in the area, offered to relocate us to their other lodge in Indus street. When getting there the Duty manager at that branch was equally friendly, showing us different room options for us to choose from. I can't say anything negative about this place. My sisters and I needed a place to rest our heads and a space comfortable enough to relax and just catch up and it was perfect for that! Pretoria itself is not one of my favourite places but we weren't there to explore, just to get away from JHB so if ever I need another quick quick getaway from the business of life, I would definitely return to this lodge.
There was nothing not to like.

In a gated community and very safe. My room (Hope) was ideal for one person. Very peaceful, quiet and tucked away. Parking is ample and rooms easily accessible. Rosemary is a gem. She was extremely helpful, friendly and professional.
People above me were very noisy until early morning. The couch is very tired. The springs have no tension so sitting down means you drop right down to the ground.

The gardens are lush and beautiful, it was a pleasure walking around. I also love the rustic, earthy decor and the private patio attached to the room we stayed in. The lodge is close to amenities, with the nearest shopping centre being about a 4min drive away. There is also ample private parking on the property.

There was no breakfast. I felt like there could have been more refreshments in the room - e.g. a mini bar and rooibos tea. There was none of that. Also there was a small sherry decanter and two glasses - but no sherry. I asked if there was a bar where I could maybe get a sherry to relax with - but was told there was nothing. I think there should be more offered in terms of a mini bar with service with some snacks maybe. Rooibos tea is a MUST as well!
There was no explanation of what services were on offer or if there was a breakfast offer. There was just a NO when I asked if there was any sort of refreshments or bar available. HOWEVER, Grace was LOVELY! She was very sweet. But I think more of an explanation on arrival of what is / not available.

Our family had a great stay in this lovely guest house with beautiful, tranquil garden. Grace and the rest of the staff were friendly and helpful. Beds were really comfortable (& warm!) and we made good use of the spacious sitting room in the family unit and the braai / bbq area. Easy access and good location in Pretoria.

safe neighborhood, quite area, slept well all nights, spacious room, very relaxing place after a long day at work, the neighborhood is nice for doing afternoon workout, I was jogging every afternoon, nearby good restaurants at the ForestWalk
- add a breakfast - breakfast is missing and I think it is easy to be organized. it helps the social factor as well and interaction between people
