Friendly and accommodating

The Rest-a-While guest house is accommodating and very friendly. I had to book 5 single rooms for the same night that made the booking. The guest house manager was so helpful. the guests that stayed there were also very happy with the accommodation and booked an extra night.

Business, July 2024

My expectations were exceeded.

All thanks goes to Ingrid Robbertze for waiting for us way past check in time due to unforeseen circumstances. My expectations were exceeded. The place is so clean from outside to inside. Most importantly the comfort of the beds. As someone who has a chronic back problem I slept well. I will definitely come again and tell others about it. Free WiFi is the cherry on top. Ingrid also sent us the load shedding schedule so that we are not caught by surprise. I can say that is real value for money. Thank you so much

Netjies, skoon en baie veilig.

Gasvrou het ons hartlik ontvang, baie gaaf. Kamers was skoon en netjies. Lekker swembad met lapa en baie mooi tuin. Buurt stil en rustig. Het baie lekker gebly en sal verseker weer van die gastehuis se dienste gebruik maak.

Baie aangenaam.

Alles netjies en in werkende toestand. Baie vriendelik ontvang.
Nie 'n toeriste bestemming, maar wel vir besigheidsbesoeke en geleenthede.

Gasvrye en sorgsame eienaars. Lekker verblyf.

Tannie Ingrid het baie mooi na ons omgesien, lekker gebly en geswem. Pragtige kamers wat toegrus is met alles wat mens nodig het. Asemrowende mooi tuin, stil buurt, maar steeds naby aan alles wat mens nodig het. Dankie vir tannie se sorg, veral met ons fietse vir die wedren. Ons sien tannie gou weer.

Baie vriendelik met al die nodige inligting en reëlings.


Voel soos 'n "home from home". Lieflike kuierlapa en swembad. Ruim akkommodasie met alles wat nodig is.

Rest-a-While Guest House stay

Excellent place to stay whether it be for business or family. The facilities are always neat and clean and the rooms will cater for all your needs. They also make provision for load shedding and will accommodate special requests you may have. Very quiet area so it is a very nice place to stay if you need a bit of peace and quiet.

Relaxed time

What a wonderful experience. We received a warm welcome on arrival. We were quite a big group and were handled with ease. The rooms and amenities are fantastic. Everything is well equipped. Rest a while is the bar by which other guest houses can measure themselves. Thank you for a wonderful stay

A Tranquil and Cosy Escape

Welcoming hosts, and a cosy environment. Clean good sized rooms, and great facilities. It’s the small touches that make a difference (like a small container of milk in the room and a jug to refill the kettle. One really gets the sense that you are wanted and welcome in this guest house. Cannot recommend it enough!

Skoolfunksie en verblyf vir personeel.

Wat 'n wonderlike ondervinding. Vanaf aankoms is ons hartlik verwelkom. Inklok was vinnig en maklik. Die kamers was baie netjies en skoon en baie goed ingerig. Die lapa-area was fantasties toegerus en was lekker om die aand langs die swembad te kon ontspan. Dit was regtig 'n baie lekker ondervinding. Ek gaan dié naam bêre, en sal verseker weer daar gaan bly as ek in die omtrek is. Kan dit definitief aanbeveel. Julle sal nie spyt wees nie.

Prompt, efficient friendly service

Wonderful hosts, a very charming and clean Guest House that suited our needs.
Would recommend without hesitation, close to all amenities.
The attention to detail with toiletries was more than we expected for a Guest house that was reasonably priced, we were impressed.

Great place for a quick visit to the city

Rest-a-while guest house was very clean, the room was beautiful and very comfortable. It is close to the shops if you need anything. The neighborhood is quiet and it was an overall excellent experience. Thank you.

Oasis in Elarduspark

What a wonderful long stay at Rest-a-While. The hosts took great care to ensure I was comfortable and went out of their way to assist me. Laundry was done promptly. Rooms and communal areas were clean, neat and tidy, not to mention the scrumptious breakfasts. Thank you for a wonderful stay. Excellent value for money.

Welkom en gemaklik, warm.

Dit was ons 2de keer wat ons bespreek by Rest-a-While en sal weer en weer teruggaan. Van die inboek, regdeur tot vertrek is alles net maklik. Baie vriendelike ontvangs. Fasiliteite alles mooi skoon, netjies, kwaliteit. Baie lekker gebly. Dankie aan die gasheer en gasvrou.

Dankie

Graag wil ek en my gesin net baie dankie se. Ons het heerlik geslaap daar by julle en alles was mooi skoon. Ons sal verseker jul verwys as ons families slaapplek benodig of ons weer moet oorslaap.

Nice relaxing atmosphere

The owner is very welcoming, and makes you feel at home although we only booked the day before arrival, they were so accommodating. Nice quiet area. Near to a Shopping Centre, to buy food, or order food. Filling station also near by. Accommodation is wonderful. Room is nicely furnished. Bed is soft, and you can get a good night's rest in. Service is very good.

Marvelous stay in

The view from the room to the garden, looks beautiful.
It's a nice place to take pictures and refreshing.
You can have a braai in the lapa whilst you swim. The cleaniness of the bedrooms is fantastic. You can room on internet while relaxing in the garden

It was amazing felt right at home away from home!
· We booked Rest A While guesthouse for 7nights, when there is no traffic the guesthouse is only just over 30min drive from the airport my gps said 32minutes to be exact. We were a family of 6 adults and 2 children of which one of them was a baby. We had the Sunshine family room, the Bluebell single room and the Stretzilla Double room. All our rooms were ready and clean on arrival and check in was very prompt with Ingrid allowing us to settle into our rooms before sorting out all the paperwork and payment. A baby cot was offered which we didn't need as we tend to travel with our own. The beds are hard, some members of the family found them very comfortable and some took a few days to adjust. Mattress preference is a personal choice. Some people prefer soft mattresses some prefer hard, you can't win them all.
Breakfast is ordered the day before and is ready ontime and served nice and hot. We had breakfast five out of the seven days and it tasted amazing each day. The only request I may add is it may be handy to have a high chair for guests travelling with a baby who do order breakfast. It wasn't too much trouble not having one though as we used our pushchair instead.
The pool is also fab, a really good size and there are bbq facilities available (we didn't get to use them but loved knowing we could if we wanted). All in all we had a great time at Rest A While, we felt right at home away from home.
I've given a high rating because Ingrid is amazing, she handled any issues with efficiency. She was very welcoming. All in all thank you for having us. We will definately be back next time we are in Pretoria 😍

Had a very restful night after a busy day in central Pretoria. The peace and tranquility was what was needed. I will return whenever I visit my granddaughter at Pretoria University. Thank you Chris and Ingrid for you hospitality.

I sincerely recommend to stay in this guest-house. The owners are very friendly, kind and welcoming. The room is clean, and the surroundings are pleasant. The guest house has a swimming pool available for the use of the guests. The breakfast was very delicious. I stayed in the guest house for quite a long period (due to personal reasons) and recommend it both for longer and shorter stays.
