Overview of Castello di Monte

From Waterkloof Ridge, Castello di Monte looks out across Pretoria’s cityscape.

Location & Setting

Waterkloof Ridge sits high above the city, and the guest house makes the most of it, with views across Pretoria from its terraces. It is quiet and secure, yet the city center, the Union Buildings and the shops and restaurants of Brooklyn and Menlyn are a short drive away, and O.R. Tambo International Airport is under an hour by road. Guests can join our private day tour of Pretoria and Cullinan, which visits the Union Buildings before the historic diamond mine.

Rooms

Four Classic Rooms and three Terrace Rooms make up most of the house, alongside two suites. The Honeymoon Suite has hand-painted murals, a four-poster bed and a spa bath. The Presidential Suite measures 150 square meters, with a balcony, a four-poster bed, a gas fireplace and a walk-in safe.

Facilities

Meals are served in the guest house’s own dining room, and room service is available. Outside there is a Roman-style swimming pool, and the house also has a sauna and a steam shower. Airport transfers and other trips around Pretoria can be arranged, and the rooftop terrace has a view in every direction.
