To stay at the Palm View Guest House owned/ organized by Alletta and her pleasant family was a mere pleasure from the very first contact up to the departure - even further, as the contact is still maintained and I am definitely going to stay there again when I will visit Pretoria next time. I can only highly recommend the accomodation, since it is such a beautiful, calm and safe place with the most wonderful view you could get. The main building, its reception, breakfast area, living/dining area with a pool table, a wonderful winter-garden incl a big-sized table and a charming fireplace couldn`t give you a feeling more comfortable. The rooms are huge, provide a really high standard related to the common standard of the country zone and offer anything for the all-day living, which is of special importance for longer stays. Each of the rooms has its own bathroom with a big-sized, warm shower, a kitchen with a dining table, fridge, microwave, and waterboiler. The dorming room provides a comfortable king-sized bed and a huge wardrobe to store everything in. The garden, which can be used commonly by all of the guests is simply beautiful, very well-groomed, green, with lots of palms (as the name of the Guest House suggests) a pool area, which gives you the most precious wide view all over the Pretorian area. It has many nice places to sit or lie down to enjoy yourself within this enclosed paradise. The closer area around the house is particularly calm and safe compared to the wider area, since it is located on a hill, in a dead-end road and the whole property is safely fenced. These facts alone make you feel really comfortable and "at home" at this beautiful spot. To add even to this, the solicitude and openness of the Guest House owner made my stay really outstanding and exceeded everything I could have expected before.

Great location. Wonderful view from the property. Owners were very accommodating and kind with lots of interesting information. They mad sure we were comfortable and were well taken care of. We enjoyed the extra hours after regular check out time. And they were very helpful to get to our Rovo Train Station.

All was very good.

I liked how accommodating they were, and how they did their best to ensure that we were comfortable. Honestly I feel that this place needs to be given more credit for its worth because wow, the view there is spectacular. All in all we felt at home.

I wasn't expecting to pay extra for aircon usage, I do travel a lot so this was a huge shock as it was the first time having to pay for aircon.

The apartment was very private, the way host welcomed us. Included breakfast (cereal). The pool the out door space is to die for. Perfect for taking pictures. I will recommend this place to any one

The only thing is the self catering if only ther was a stove it would have been excellent
