Wonderful stay with wonderful people
We really enjoyed staying in this historic house and will definitely stay there again. Great location, as we were attending a wedding at the Pretoria Country Club. It was very clean and quiet at night. We also enjoyed the breakfast and the company for Jeanette and Wynand, who told us a little about other historic buildings in the area. We also appreciate having a safe space to park our rental car.
The first thing I feel can improve is the availability of drinking water, such as a drinking fountain. Jeanette however did offer us more bottled water, but I think it can also reduce plastic waste of there is a drinking fountain. Secondly, the plates from which we ate in the morning were scratched and looked a bit worn down. Otherwise, there was nothing else that can be improved to have made our stay better.
Très bon emplacement dans un quartier sécurisé Accueil très convivial des propriétaires Chambre spacieuse Petit-déjeuner complet

Accueil chaleureux et attentionné ! Le propriétaire parle un peu français et il est vraiment très sympathique. Très belle maison ancienne avec une belle hauteur sous plafond et le style associé. Logement bien situé dans un quartier sécurisé et agréable. Bonne adresse pour aller dîner le soir.
Une des deux chambres étaient froides. On a dormi avec des pulls, je n’ai pas réussi à faire marcher le chauffage (en août c’est l’hiver en Afrique du Sud).
The house is very beautiful and inviting, the garden is very neat and peaceful and the dog was very friendly. Also enjoyed breakfast very nice and filling.
Didn't get to use the pool because of the weather but the views were nice
Great location. Peaceful and safe neighborhood
Location is central
Needs some TLC
Ubytování má fantastický genius loci - viktoriánská vila pochází z roku 1904. Skvělou atmosféru a přátelské prostředí dotvářejí i majitelé Wynand a Jeanette, kteří se o nás velmi dobře starali. Je to jako cesta do minulosti se zachováním veškerého pohodlí 21. století.
Perfectly placed

The property is beautiful and the room was huge. The bed was super comfortable. The owners were incredibly attentive and the breakfast was delicious. I highly recommend Osborne House
Właściciele są bardzo mili i pomocni. Śniadania super! Piękny dom, bardzo duży pokój. Przy dobrej pogodzie można skorzystać z basenu. Fajna dzielnica, właściciele dają wskazówki gdzie dobrze zjeść.
Nie było nic takiego.
Beautiful old heretige house Quiet neighberhood
Un accueil chaleureux et disponible. Sans doute notre meilleur hébergement en Afrique du sud
L’accueil fut charmant et attentionné. Le petit déjeuner très bien servi.
The breakfast, was amazing - more than that the hosts really made our stay worth while
Atmosphäre des Hauses, Frühstück und nette Gastgeber haben gefallen. Lage des Hauses sehr gut. Einrichtung des Haupthauses sehr ansprechend.
Zimmer stark renovierungsbedürftig. Verhältnismäßig niedrige Aussentemperaturen und Bad sehr kalt und nicht beheizbar. Fenster und Türen zugig. Zimmer extrem kalt. Frühstücksraum nicht beheizt und ebenfalls extrem kalt. Elektroinstallation teilweise nicht funktionsfähig. Bei kalten Wintertemperaturen Zimmer eigentlich nicht bewohnbar. Daher leider insgesamt schlechte Gesamtnote.
Aufgrund eines Wasserrohrbruches in der Umgebung gab es kein Wasser. Aus diesem Grund haben wir gleich wieder ausgecheckt. Die Unterkunft hat die Buchung komplett storniert. Vielen Dank nochmals für die reibungslose Abwicklung.
Jeanette and Wynand are always most hospitable. Large rooms and excellent location.
Prachtig monumentaal huis
Weinig buitenverlichting op het terras
Traditional house in a good area, built 1904..for me was a nice feeling imagine how was the life there in a good society till the fall.of Apartheid.
A little bit tomcold for me inside
Brilliant place. Ŕeally welcoming
Baie vriendelike gasheer en gasvrou
Daar is niks negatief oor hierdie gastehuis nie
Excellent historic home, classy breakfast and service, friendly and helpful hosts. Highly recommended!
The garden is so beautiful and the owners are so friendly
Unique old house lovely furniture. Gracious owners
Friendly oom and tannie!
Very friendly and welcoming host. Nice deco in the main house
I would have expected a duvet and better linnet
Great breakfast. Great hosts.
Ideal guesthouse! Beautiful, old Victorian house in the best area of the city, run by extremely friendly owners. Highly recommended !
Rustige straat, ruime kamer
Ontbijt mag uitgebreider
The house was beautiful...old world charm. Very centrally located. Hosts were wonderful and very friendly and accommodating. Breakfast was good. We browsed around the house to examine all the interesting artifacts and furniture. Will definately visit them again.
The bed could have been a King size. But the bed we slept on was comfortable.
Best location for traveling to all directions. Beautiful house and garden, cosy and comfortable.
No complaints, loved everything about my stay at Osborne House
Friendly and helpful hosts. Excellent breakfast. Excellent location.
Beautiful historical building and very friendly hosts. I felt at home!
The curtains were a little hard to close. Perhaps a curtain "stick" would be nice? The windows and curtains are huge - in step with the beautiful character of the buildings.
Zeer vriendelijke eigenaren
Er was geen douche, alleen een bad.
Très belle maison et propriétaires charmants

Fijne locatie net buiten Pretotia, leuke gastvrouw.
Beautiful house in Brooklyn. Helpful owner, doing everything for a pleasant stay.
We didn’t intend to use the lovely pool but would have like it to be clean for refreshing ourselves should we have liked to do it.
Sehr zentral. Die Besitzer sind sehr freundlich und aufmerksam. Tolles Ambiete
Jeanette & Wynand are extremely warm and hospitable, the hotel is well situated to the University, and the hotel is serene and quiet. The breakfast is exceptional.
Beautiful setting. All antique
Garden is beautiful. Breakfast was freshly prepared and delicious. Beautiful house that needs a bit of tlc.
From 6 months ago, the bed lamp is not working. The bed is very squeeky. The hostess is very friendly. It is a beautiful place that might need a bit of tlc and a hands-on approach.

The breakfast was absolutely delicious — freshly prepared and well-presented. Everything was flavourful. A perfect way to start the day!
Magnificent property with friendly and accommodating owners.
Very Friendly owner and staff Good mattresses Lovely fresh brewed coffee and lovely breakfast Good location
Our room needed a serious springclean and upgrade. Curtains were dirty. Carpet was really dirty and full of marks. The chairs were very dirty. The wallpaint were peeling in a few places. One could see it was old water damage. The towels very very thin and the blankets on the beds had marks on them. This unfortunately made that we didn't want to spend extra time than needed in the room.
Es war traumhaft. Nette Besitzer und tolles Personal. Waren rundum zufrieden. Zimmer sind geräumig und sehr sauber. Frühstück war sehr lecker besonders der Kaffee.

Wir haben im Osbourne House unsere erste Nacht in Südafrika verbracht um uns vor dem Trip zum Krüger nach dem langen Flug auszuruhen. Wir haben uns in der Unterkunft, die ein wenig an ein Heimatmuseum erinnert sehr wohl gefühlt. Das Frühstück wurde uns nach unseren Wünschen von den Eigentümern frisch zubereitet serviert. Wir würden wiederkommen!
Very hospitable hosts, loved my stay. Will definitely return.
A perfect stay! Great guesthouse! Beautiful architecture! Tastefully decorated! Great dedication, serviceabilty & hospitality by the wonderful owners, Wynand & Jeanette Claassen! The 2 most wonderful people! Greatest location: very close to University of Pretoria!

Die Lage, ruhige, sichere Gegend. Viele Einkaufsmöglichkeiten und Lokale.
Etwas in die Jahre gekommenes Vintage Haus. Zimmer war düster mit unbequemen Bett.
Une vieille et belle maison immense, avec des objets d époque de qualité. Les hôtes sont très accueillants et a l ecoute

Lovely accommodating hosts.
A bit noisy at time and the noise bleeds through into my room.
The character and warmth of the house made us feel at home. Wynand and Jeanette are wonderful hosts. Nothing was too much effort.
La chambre était très spacieuse et les hôtes très accueillants ! Bonne recommandations pour manger à Pretoria. Très belle maison et le quartier Brooklyn est magnifique.
A beautifully appointed heritage home in Brooklyn, Pretoria with very friendly hosts, great conversation and a wonderfully warm breakfast.
Das Haus hat seinen Charme dadurch, dass es ein bisschen in die Jahre gekommen ist. Es liegt im Botschaftsviertel und wir haben entspannt einige Spaziergänge gemacht. Die Gastgeber und das Personal waren enorm freundlich und hilfsbereit.
The staff was friendly and outside beautiful views
The place bedroom wasn't clean, dust for someone with allergies
Centrally located. Owners are accommodating & go out of their way to make the stay exceptional. They are friendly and helpful

One of the best omelettes I've ever had amongst the many, served with the host's warm demeanour that makes it feel more than just homely but accepted as part family. The antique character and it's framed history placed on the wall of a passage is an interesting read that takes you back in time on how this simple abode evolved over the years. The garden is lush in greenery and it would be nice to carry a book along to indulge in while sitting outside.

The house is beautifully decorated, and the garden is absolutely lovely. The owners were so wonderful — they made me feel right at home.
Nothing comes to mind.
Excellent facilities, atmosphere and location. Jeanette and Wynand are exemplary hosts - doing much more than could be expected.
