Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
This a great lodge in a great location; It's pretty close to Pretoria University, to Hatfield Gauteng train station, and city center; with a great shopping and dining center 5 min away walking. Rooms are big at very affordable rates and the compound is spacious and clean, with a great veranda and a fresh pool! It is a family place if you like the family vibe too! The owner, Miranda, is gentle, kind and caretaking! You'll love it!

Nice, affordable, safe
Staff is great advising us on where to eat, moved car in tight parking lot for us, drove us to pick up rental car, and excellent full breakfast. Laundry service great and very affordable. Private tour by owner to LeSedi Village was excellent and reasonably priced. Only downside as Floridians was that it was cold eating breakfast outside in winter although the fire did help. We had an en suite room with a refrigerator.

Une ambiance familiale bien agréable
Accueil chaleureux, ambiance familiale, hôtes serviables et attentionnés. En revanche, les deux molosses qui montent la garde prennent leur mission un peu trop à coeur. Attention si vous craignez les chiens. La localisation un peu à l'écart du centre-ville, dans un quartier sécurisé, ainsi que la possibilité de garer sa voiture à l'abri sont des atouts non négligeables.
