Ancient Days Guest Cottage is situated in the picturesque town of Heidelberg, Gauteng. It is a self-catering facility. The historic building was originally built in 1903 as a stable for 6 horses, and the mail carriage was also stored here. During 1987 the current owner bought the property, in 2008 it was decided to renovate the building, and after receiving the necessary permission from the authorities, the interior was altered to accommodate guests in a quiet and safe environment.
The facility can accommodate up to 12 persons as follows:
Room 1: A Queen-size bed, with a sleeper couch that can be changed into a double bed, en-suite.
Room 2: 2 Single beds, en-suite.
Room 3: A Queen-size bed, with a sleeper couch that can be changed into a double bed, en-suite.
In the Main building, where rooms 1 & 2 are situated, is another sleeper couch in the lounge area that can also be changed into a double bed.
We supply all bedding and towels.
A picket fence was built to ensure good security. Armed response was also added.
The facility is close to the N3, and Johannesburg CBD is a mere 45 Km from it, making it ideal for commuting to and from Johannesburg, while still providing small town tranquillity and hospitality. The cottage has a fully equipped kitchen, with a fridge, stove, microwave oven, crockery and cutlery, as well as ample cooking utensils. Cleaning service is provided on a daily basis during week days.
Guests can be received from 14H00, and rooms have to be vacated by 11H00.
4 TV sets are installed, and DStv is available. Regrettably the facility is a No-smoking area.
Restaurants in the area include Spur, Wimpy, Wiesenhoff and Hoffeldts. KFC, Nando's and a Pizza take away is also close by.

Place is old but has its own nostalgia. Very nice and clean and safe.
As before - very nice stay.
We felt very welcome, the place is very comfortable and nicely decorated.
It is not always easy to find decent self-catering accommodation in small towns. Ancient Days Guest Cottage did not disappoint. We were warmly received and no request was too big. The cottage is well-equipped, clean and safe. Thank you for taking such good care of us. looking forward to spending time with you again in October/November.
Beautiful location in old homestead.
The owners are friendly and helpful. Will definitely book there again.
It is a very nice building and the room is nice and clean with everything one needs. The owners are extremely helpful and lovely people.
Spacious, lovely decor.
Needed a place to sleep for long road ahead. Slept very well and it was one of the nicest and cleanest places I have ever found at LekkeSlaap.
We were attending a school function and didn't want to drive back to Three Rivers late at night, so decided to spend the night instead.
Unfortunately, an alarm started ringing at 4 in the morning in the upstairs room and we couldn't turn it off. I think it was because load shedding.
Everything was nice and clean and it's very beautiful. The electric blankets were a plus point.
We enjoyed our evening, although we only slept there. Hostess was very friendly and helpful.
Very clean and tidy and has everything you need.
Went to Heidelberg for a heritage weekend. Ancient Days is part of the heritage and Victorian atmosphere. Conveniently located to also walk the Suikerbosrand hiking trail.
Stayed in Stone Cottage. Was surprised by cleanliness of the place. Sheets and towels were 'squeaky' clean. Lots of interesting antiques on site. Weather was cold and wet and there was actually an electric blanket on the bed and heater in cottages.
Very conveniently located.
Nice stay! Thank you.
The apartment was beautifully and tastefully furnished. It was freezing cold and the warm blankets on the bed made the stay 5 star! Everything was silver clean.
It was beautiful and very quiet and peaceful place.
We were welcomed very kindly and immediately felt at home. Will definitely stay there again.
Was very peaceful. Everyone helpful, house very neat and clean. Friendliness that is not found often. Definitely recommended.
We had to attend a function in Heidelberg and so returned very late in the evening. The 2 cottages have a separate entrance from the street and it didn't feel like we were bothering anyone. I would just suggest that the entrance door is equipped with a security gate. The windows do have burglar bars in front. We will definitely book again at Ancient Days Guest Cottage.
A very comfortable and neat guest house. Cottage was very clean and bed very comfortable. I had a great time. The people were very friendly and helpful.
We only stayed one night to attend a function and were completely satisfied with the stay.
This is very convenient accommodation for someone who is within half an hour of O.R. Tambo wants to spend the night. Neat place to stay and friendly host.
Friendly service and a very neat place with everything you need. Have your privacy can move in and out as you like. I can really recommend it, it's worth the money.
Ancient Days has a vintage feel. Will stay there again.
We had a very nice stay. Mates made with the dogs. The owner is lovely.
Thanks to Dirk and Wena who made us feel at home straight away. It's a beautiful cottage with everything a traveler would need to stay comfortable and rest well. Thanks also to Oubaas, Katinka and Ariel (the site buffs) who looked after us well, if you were smaller I would have packed you up and taken you home with me! Next time we'll just visit for a week.
Well-equipped units in a peaceful atmosphere and very good location. Restaurants and centers within reach. Safe and easily accessible. Ideal for accommodation in the East Rand area.
Friendly host, cute cottage!
The people is professional, friendly and honest. The facilities are excellent and great accessibility. We didn't feel unsafe. Will definitely visit again.
Clean, neat and beautiful decor. Stunning rooms. We really enjoyed the stay. Thanks so much.
Only small problem is the water pump system which didn't flow very well. But the rest was clean, neat and beautiful.
We were returning to Durban from a funeral in Johannesburg so ours was a very quick in and out trip and just needed a bed for the night so we didn't stay long enough to be able to give a proper assessment, but all in all it served our needs. Thanks.
We were here with our little girl and enjoyed our holes out. Thank you very, very much!
It was a very neat place and the owner is very hospitable.
The cottage is very cute and creatively furnished. The bed slept incredibly comfortable. Everything you could possibly need is in the cottage. I felt very much at home.
Directions was clear but was very dark on arrival because there were no street lights. Room was very neat and well equipped with heaters and electric blankets. Close to hospital, so you hear ambulances come and go. In general, a very nice place and will go back.
Very clean as well as comfortable. Wena and the staff very friendly.
Had a wonderful stay. Everything was neat and in a working condition.
Hard to find in the dark!
Nice hostess she came to meet us. Close to all the shops and safe. House is well furnished, we had a nice stay.
Friendly staff. Very peaceful for anyone who wants to get away from the everyday lifestyle. Heidelberg was a very nice experience for us.
The cottage is well furnished with everything one needs. We felt very welcome and at home.
We had a great time. Felt like 'home'.
Was looking forward to the stay and was not disappointed. The house is tastefully furnished and it makes me wish I could live in the era in which the property was built. We slept over for a funeral we had to attend. We drove from Botswana and it was a pleasant experience. Was actually grateful to the deceased who gave me the opportunity to experience it. Beautiful town, friendly people, good service and well equipped shops.
Convenient, private and homely.
We were looking for an overnight stay and received a warm reception by our host and his wife, as well as 4 cute dogs. We felt at home and had a great time. Lots of space is a luxury these days. Thank you to LekkeSlaap who handled the arrangements to move the booking.
A very neat and comfortable place. Everything you need for self-care was there. Friendly hostess and definitely value for money. Very well located. Would go there again anytime.
We thoroughly enjoyed staying at Ancient Days Guest Cottage. It was easy to find and so cozy and cute. Everyone was very accommodating, Loved the decor and it was really inexpensive. Would definitely come here again and recommend it to anyone.
Comfortable bed and ample space to work. Owners are very friendly and very helpful. This is a perfect place for one night or a couple of nights to travel for business and perfectly situated very close to N3.
Feel free to see the stars.
The accommodation is good. Can recommend it.
Beautiful and enjoyable house with friendly people.
Very nice and quiet place. If you like dogs, this is the place for you. I might just put a safe in the rooms.
Please see the stars.
