“A perfect retreat that exceeds expectations in every way.”
+Zebra Cottage is an absolute gem. The moment we arrived, we were struck by the beautiful, elegant design and the immaculate cleanliness of the space. Every piece of furniture feels thoughtfully chosen, combining comfort with style, and the overall atmosphere is both inviting and luxurious. The cottage is exceptionally well-maintained, with attention to detail evident in every corner , from the tasteful décor to the high-quality finishes. The welcome pack was such a thoughtful touch: a freshly baked ciabatta from Doppio Zero, butter, tomatoes, cucumber, salamis, and fresh eggs waiting for us, along with the coffee, tea, sugar, milk, and cookies. It made us feel truly cared for from the minute we stepped inside. We also saw the zebra in the reserve across the road from the patio which was awesome. Communication from Arina was excellent throughout , warm, responsive, and incredibly helpful, ensuring our stay was seamless from start to finish. A must stay if you are looking for a place in Pretoria. Highly recommended!

“A gem of comfort, security and a personal touch.”
+Excellent communication with the owner prior to our arrival. Arina is very friendly and accommodated our special request regarding our arrival time. She was also easy to reach and happy to give us tips and advice about things to do in the area. Access was easy and uncomplicated. The cottage is in a secured estate. After parking in the allocated parking spot (safe and basically on the doorstep), we stepped into a welcoming, clean and fresh smelling cottage, where freshly baked bread, butter and other basic necessities and snacks awaited us after our long journey. So considerate! The cottage is very spacious, tastefully decorated and well-equipped. A big plus is the washing machine and outside washing line. The beds are very comfortable. We also enjoyed the patio in the morning, sitting there with our coffee while watching the animals across the street in the nature reserve. Such a pity that we didn't have time for a braai there, since the facilities are very good and a bag of firewood had been provided. Next time! The location was perfect for our needs - close enough to shopping malls, but not much traffic in the street. We loved the area and felt very safe there. Zebra Cottage is a

“Exceptional”
+This place is a Pretoria East gem close to hospital. Communication with Arina was impeccable. The hospitality was beyond measure not forgetting the special loaf of bread and butter. The house set up and finishings give great aesthetic pleasure. I'm definitely coming back for a longer stay.
