Nature's best choice

Oh what a homely establishment. The owner was a real mother to us. We booked standard room and we were offered a more spacious room with self-catering facilities. I will return to the hotel again and anyone around Pretoria can definitely stay. It is situated in a very quiet area and you can enjoy nature, hear birds singing without the noise and pollution of the inner city. Thank you
