“What stands out here is the self-catering option in some rooms, plus dedicated picnic areas and outdoor fireplaces. I noted proximity to the University of Pretoria, coupled with value pricing, makes it a practical choice for visiting families and students. The combination of private room entrances and garden views adds a layer of comfort.”
