85 guests' feedbackWe really enjoyed it, quiet, clean, comfortable, the jacuzzi was a bonus for the tiredness. Friendly welcome, lots of communication. There was everything one would need if one were to live in one's own place.
I had an emergency and received prompt service. The place was very beautiful, peaceful and private. The decor ideas are cute.
Very safe and clean accommodation. Owners were very civil and helpful. No noise from the city. Really liked the ducks that were there.
Very good, clean place. Very good location.
We had a nice stay, very private. Bed was not the best. The Sona could advertise better, didn't know you were paying separately for him. Can do garden work.
Absolutely value for money. Very spacious and tidy. Friendly reception. Will definitely refer it to other visitors. Jacuzzi was a bonus!
Disappointed because we couldn't make use of the facilities due to no power and the generator can't run them. They could've at least informed us because our anniversary weekend didn't turn out well at all, and we might have looked for other accommodation instead. We struggled with WiFi to watch movies on the TV, had difficulty getting the TV to switch on, had to ask for extra toilet paper and for the generator to be started. There was lots of noise from upstairs until 03:30 in the mornings, many mosquitoes (doom tabs available to plug into adapter in wall socket) but no electricity so we had to buy doom for a peaceful sleep, and water streamed in underneath the wooden door while raining. The space smells like mould.
This accommodation is not at all 3 star standard as advertised. Beds are old and bed linen and towels are of poor quality.
Location not ideal, but still safe.
The place has everything you need.
Ideal for guests with family in the South African Hospital. Very well equipped.
Owners were friendly but the exterior was very dirty.
Hot water for shower a big challenge. Garden is not at all a loop court as described in advertisement. Chlorine smell at hot tub is overwhelming.
For what is included in the price, it is definitely worth it. One can relax wonderfully.
We had a very pleasant stay. Very comfortable, extremely safe and secure. Hosts were very helpful and accommodating.
Very nice place and very peaceful.
It was just what I needed the night before my surgery. I had a great time relaxing and my husband was taken care of while I was away. The hospitality is fantastic. I will definitely visit them again!
Friendly service from owner. All facilities are clean. Will go back again anytime.
Mosquitos where a huge problem. More fans or aircon would be appreciated.
I will stay there again anytime! Best accommodation in the area!
I would recommend anyone to visit 186Ridge. It was a wonderful and peaceful place and will stay there again in the future. It is very private and we got very good service, it was definitely worth the money for us. Thank you, Ridge for the fun and peaceful getaway.
For some reason I got a cold shower every time. Jacuzzi wastes water in apartment and will work better outside in garden, then the current Jacuzzi room can be used as a bedroom, the sitting/bedroom will then feel less cramped. Just got milk for coffee first morning. Percolator not cleaned. Garden needs attention and breaks down overnight facilities. Lots of potential but could be better managed and utilised.
The place was excellent and neat.
We were probably there 2 years ago and now again. The bed is not very comfortable and the bedding is old. The towels provided seem to have been used in the home. Kitchen definitely needs upgrading.
On arrival, the general cleanliness of the yard is poor. No maintenance takes place. There are bad smells in the rooms. The general condition of the building and rooms is poor - again little/no maintenance. Although the place is classified as a 3-star guest house, what we got was not at all what we wanted.
The owner even took us to the shop with his own car for free. We will come again.
A peaceful and quiet option for travelers.
See stars.
Everything was in order and our host waited for us until late to collect the key because of circumstances that were outside our control. It is a spacious unit that offers you room to move. Thank you, we had a great rest.
See stars.
Nice stay, clean and tidy.
I was pleasantly surprised with the apartment. Very neat, spacious and functional, with a Jacuzzi and sauna. Located between big trees, with very nice garden. The host was very helpful and received us kindly. Will definitely go back again.
Arrived late at night, owner personally awaited us with tea/coffee and home-baked biscuits. House very clean, big space. Extra single bed room. Will confidently recommend this address to my Dutch friends! Thank you Rian and Arno!
We had a lovely stay and were impressed with the facilities and Arno was extremely helpful and hospitable, we will definitely stay here again!
The accommodation is clean and neat. Our only problem was the shower water - the temperature wasn't stable. Lovely garden and the 3 ducks were a lot of fun. I won't stay there for a holiday, but it had everything we needed for a quick stop over.
I unexpectedly had to stay there the whole time without my husband. At no point did I feel unsafe. We only booked for one night, but there was no problem staying longer. However, I'm new to the city and didn't notice when booking that it was a self-catering unit, and it caught me off guard. Next time I will read more carefully!
Baie lekker gebly! Privaat en het als wat jy nodig het vir kort wegbreek. Die gas geyser het net nie gewerk soos dit moes nie.
Room was never cleaned. It was hot with lots of mosquitos no fan. DStv is not the full package. No clean towel that comes and sits in the room. We spent the whole weekend using the towels we got the first day. No privacy, the owners had a party on Saturday. Would not recommend the place to anyone. The window frames of the place where the jazzie is are rusted.
186Ridge is very well equipped. The hosts were very welcoming.
We had an amazing time. We enjoyed every moment spent. The staff were exceptional. Will definitely call again and recommend you to our friends and family.
Very friendly people. Will recommend them to anyone. Lebo was very friendly and helpful. Thanks for everything.
There is a club nearby, so the music goes on all night which makes it difficult to fall asleep, even on a weekday.
It was nicely, centrally situated for our purposes and very comfortable. It was much more than we expected for self-catering accommodation and therefore extremely good value for money. We enjoyed the three ducks who let us know when they were hungry. They enjoyed my bran rusks. The immediate availability of tea, coffee, milk and sugar was a very welcome surprise after our long drive from Durban, as we had forgotten to bring milk. The accommodation was well-furnished and very clean. It lacked for nothing and we recommend it without hesitation.
Accommodation is in a quiet area, everything and more that a person could want. Jacuzzi and sauna were the proverbial icing on the cake.
Very good and neat. Would recommend it.
Die flat is so unique. Have you ever heard of a guesthouse with its own Jacuzzi and sauna? The unit is big and really safe. Good value for money. A bigger bed would have been great and the hot water is depleted quite fast. Otherwise 186@Ridge is a pleasant surprise. I highly recommend it!
We absolutely enjoyed it. The area is very peaceful, quiet and calming. The Jacuzzi was the highlight. The amenities are all comfortable! Everything is quite clean.
The place is very spacious, except for the kitchen which is a bit small, but it was more than enough for our purpose. The place is very neat and the bed slept very well. The only negative comment is on the gas geyser, where the hot water falls away when you take a shower. I'm sure it's something small that can be fixed on the geyser itself.
See rating.
Nice accommodation, had a bit of trouble with the Jacuzzi, but it was fixed later, otherwise everything was in order.
Thank you for a enjoyable stay. The place was clean, tidy and comfortable.
Quiet, secure, classy, homely. Everything is thought out to the detail!
The apartment is lovely and nicely furnished, the Jacuzzi and sauna a delight. Martha is lovely and very friendly. I really enjoyed the ducks, Clyde, Thelma and Louise! Every morning and throughout the day they stopped by. Too pretty! Everything was neat and clean, will definitely stay there again in the future.
We had the most enjoyable stay @186, everything you need on your doorstep, with the added bonus of your own private Jacuzzi and sauna. The ducks on the premises just the cutest! We will recommend it and gladly go again. A big thanks to our hosts!
It's the very best value for money in SA, Namibia and Botswana! I'm so glad we came across the place. Will never sleep anywhere else again.
I so love it! I just wish I could go back again!
We enjoyed the stay and it was close to our point of visit, the Voortrekker Monument. Would just love to meet the owner in person.
I'll use the place every time I'm in Pretoria.
This is the second time we have stayed here and will come back every time!
We were in Pretoria, because I was for an eye operation. The apartment is beautifully furnished. Kitchen lovely. Great feeling of being at home. Cleaning service daily was definitely a plus. Lovely place and will definitely stay there again!
We both enjoyed the stay @ 186 Ridge. The staff are very friendly and the place is neat, quite you can only here the birds and ducks sounds, I wouldn't mind to go back @ that place - and how can I forgot the Jacuzzi and Sauna. Lovely self catering and all amenities that required. I would recommend it to any and all.
Value for money, very central and safe! Equipped with everything you will need!
I will definitely go back. It was a sad time when we had to leave!! Two thumbs up!!
Lovely self-catering with everything from a hairdryer to a jacuzzi and sauna! Quiet area with good security. Lovely decor and good beds. Clean and very neat. Definitely recommended.
There are many extras that you don't get at other places. The hot tub was a treat.
186@ Ridge is a incredible place you could ever spend time in. Was safe and secure ���.highly recommend this to everyone who is looking for something different and very special
Will definitely stay with you again!
BEST PLACE IN GAUTENG! SO PEACEFULL NEAT AND RIAAN AND MARTHA ARE THE BEST HOSTS THINK TO GO THERE FOR AT LEAST 10 DAYS THANKS A MILLION
I personally enjoyed my stays at 186@ridge street. The staff are very friendly and the place is neat. I could walk to places like the Gautrain, Pretoria CBD, as well as Sunnyside and Arcadia. I wouldn't mind making 186@ridge my home when ever I am visiting Pretoria again.
Clean, conveniently close to city and hospitals and friendly host.
The reception and service was excellent. The hot tub was also a hit.
Will definitely stay there again. Perfect silence for studying. Thank you guys!
Very beautiful units. Especially loved the decor and steam room. Will definitely come back in future.
What I love about 186 @ Ridge is that they offer more than you expect - usually it's different! We enjoyed the hot tub and the nut coffee was a HUGE bonus for me. The decor is creative and interesting - one feels at home. The location is excellent for our purpose. The price is within our budget and I would recommend 186 @ Ridge to anyone.
We were very impressed with the place. We had a very nice time. Private accommodation is always what you are looking for and we found it! Plekkie is very cute, neat and "homey". Jacuzzi is a hit and the walk in the residential area was awesome! Already recommended the place to many people and they will surely see us again. Top notch hospitality. We really enjoyed it there.
We had a very nice stay. Definitely value for money, and would recommend everyone to stay there. Friendly people with prompt service.
Kookwater! We could not believe that we paid so little for so much!! An excellent accommodation!
It was totally amazing!
Very neat, nice and quiet!
It is clean and nice, and I enjoyed my privacy.
Had a decent stay here.
It's was an great experience to stay at your accommodation, I'm back in Namibia and want to say an BIG THANKS to all you wonderful people. Riaan specially for all your support.
186@RIDGEnnThis is one of those places that leave you speechless. You get way more value for your money. Honestly, for that kind of a service, the price is a bargain. I loved staying there, wished I could stay for two months or more. The environment is homey, I really felt welcomed and at ease - just like I would at home.nnThe place is clean, tidy, secure, spacious not to mention beautiful. If it were according to me, visiting Pretoria I wouldn't want to stay anywhere else but [email protected] give this place 11/10. I can't believe I miss it already :-(
