Fantastic property & hosts; highly recommended

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 28 Jun 2015
We stayed at the Meintjieskop Guest Lodge for one night in June. The property is located in a very beautiful and safe neighbourhood in Pretoria. The presidential palace is located right across the road and because of that, the property is not subject to power outages due to load shedding.
The rooms themselves (we saw two of them) are very comfortable and nicely appointed. Despite the very cold weather, the rooms were kept warm by the under floor heating and electric blankets.
The location of the property is very good; there are a few restaurants a short walk away and it is nice to walk in the area to see the embassies.
Breakfast was good.
The hosts are extremely helpful and friendly. They went out of their way to ensure that we had a good stay, providing information, tips, etc.
I highly recommend this property and would definitely stay here again if I found myself back in Pretoria.

I stayed at the guest house on the night of the 9th June 2015. I have stayed in several guest houses in Pretoria, but this one is the best. The owners are very welcoming, friendly and will make sure that all your needs are catered for. The food, the rooms and the hospitality was all excellent. To the owners keep it up!

Amazing hosts. Nothing was too much trouble. They looked after us like we were their own. Great setting and in a lovely part of town. Cute shopping centre just down the road and Hatfield Mall is easy walking distance.

We went for the rugby and Loftus was just at the bottom of the hill. Great value for $$.

Room tip: We were in the main house. Though an older place it is very well maintained.

Really well located and very friendly hosts in Mercia and Willem. This is an older place but charming and being able to mix with other guests at breakfast and in the common area made for a very pleasant stay. It is fairly close to the Union Buildings and there is a Cafe 41 within walking distance. Again it is a bit older with appliances to match but was comfortable and it still served all needs and had a bit of character.

Nice owner rooms need to be redone, overall the maintenance is lacking and the buildings pool and rooms are needing some TLC, owner friendly and breakfast was ok. Don't walk anywhere in the dark but I guess that's for all of Pretoria overall rating 3 stars.

We arrived in Pretoria in June enroute to a safari trip in southern Africa. Our bags had been lost in a huge computer malfunction in Heathrow. BA was in chaos. We had 3 days with Mercia and Willem and they did all they could do help us while providing comfortable and restorative accommodation. Mercia in particular really helped us by getting us on the Gautrain up to Johannesburg where we did eventually find our bags on the last day before we had to leave. We had in fact been making a shopping list to replace all our safari stuff and Mercia was helping us with suggestions about shopping etc In the end, all was well and we set off on our trip filled with gratitude and appreciation for the kindness of our hosts. I highly recommend this guesthouse for great value and overall experience if you are in Pretoria.

Room tip: The guest rooms are large and comfortable. Note that it can be cold in June and be prepared. We were in the pink room and our friends were in the one with the balcony-both nice rooms. You feel like you are staying over in a friend's lovely house which you are.
