59 guests' feedbackWe would recommend Genie's Nest. We had to drop off our stuff earlier with a wedding we had nearby and the host didn't have a problem with that. They were still cleaning our place. We can't fault the place at all. I might just want to bring to your attention that one can see right through the white curtains when the light is on or off in the evening. We changed in the bathroom. Toilet seat was loose, maybe just tightened. There was also a group of young visitors sitting and hanging out right by the pool, which we could hear until late. Our room was by the pool. Not owner's fault, but maybe look at the time to allow a certain time if you want to visit the pool. When they went to sleep everything was peaceful. Thank you for allowing us to sleep there and feel safe.
Most beautiful place to stay, clean and the owner is so friendly.
Very nice place. Clean and friendly staff. Everything you need for self-catering is there.
Very nice stay. It was comfortable and neat. The parking lot is a bit small, but it's not that bad. Furthermore, it had been very nice.
Now my Girlfriend wants to go there 2 times a month.
I booked the place for my parents who had to go to Steve Biko. They were very satisfied with the cleanliness and service. The cleaning lady was so helpful and friendly. We just want to thank her once again. The location is also very close to shops and the hospital. They were also very accommodating and we really appreciated knowing that you are dealing with people of heart. Thanks also to the website for the prompt service.
Room was clean and tidy and well furnished, had no need for anything else.
Awesome. They can definitely improve on providing more towels for longer stays, and also tea, milk, and sugar for the duration of the stay. We stayed for 5 days and didn't have any room service.
Very nice stay. Definitely recommend it.
Everything is fine except the internet is very very weak. Also not on during load shedding.
Very nice stay, safe parking. Quiet atmosphere and all the rooms are very neat.
See stars.
It was enjoyable with friends in Genie's Nest, was very beautiful as it was my home.
Safe, clean, pretty and fully equipped. Good location, and top of the range. I was very impressed. I will definitely use this again. Many thanks to the website and the owner. Tip top place.
We were looking for overnight accommodation for a function we attended in Pretoria. Genie's Nest met all our requirements and quite at a very good price. Although we did not spend much time at the accommodation, the time there was very comfortable. The rooms are very tastefully equipped with everything you could want. Very clean and tidy. Rooms 2, 3, 4 overlook the pool where no. 1 is a little "off" on the side, but overall, very, very nice.
Very nice place and it's neat and clean, and the service and helpfulness is absolutely wonderful. Very good value for money and no issues.
We were received very peacefully and the place was very neat. I just want to recommend that they should put flash/light/lamp in the room. We sat in the dark during loadshedding.
Would use it anytime again.
We stay at Genie's Nest regularly every year. It is conveniently located, conveniently equipped, and a comfortable stay. We will definitely stay there again next year.
Very good accommodation located in the North of Pretoria. Swimming pool offers a great summertime experience & covered parking is an added luxury.
We were pleasantly surprised with our stay at Genies Nest, especially given the affordability of the accommodation. I would suggest that they update their contact details on Google as we had the wrong number and had trouble getting hold of them. Parking was a challenge as we traveled with a pram (if accommodation is fully booked there won't be enough parking). Top accommodation and service, nonetheless!
Very tidy, large rooms and comfortable, safe, good location with cutlery, fridge, microwave and double bed. Only downside is no internet during "load shedding", so additional arrangements had to be made to be able to work in another location during the 2 hours. Internet quality is also quite poor and better equipment and a stronger/better Wi-Fi signal would have been ideal.
Sink does not have a plug. Power point for charging phone is not on standard. Stairs to bathroom are dangerous and not marked. Sliding door does not close properly.
The remote gave in, could not get myself to enter. Andersons no complaints.
Very close to everything.
We slept very well. However, the room's curtains are very thin and you can see in from outside if the lights inside are on.
Slept very well the night we were there for friends who didn't live too far. Very neat. Very nice place. The only problem we had was finding the guest house as there was no sign to show us where it was.
Great stay in a quiet suburb. Just a suggestion for the owner to get steel stands for hot pots and pans to rest after cooking purposes.
Parking was a bit difficult, but the rest was very good and pocket-sized for overnight.
The braai facilities are very poor, braais are rusted through, no braai tongs, no bowls to marinate meat. Room very hot, only a fan on the floor, due to no security door, the door cannot be left open during loadshedding. Towels were never changed. Sink in kitchen is very small. No poison for ants. Had to ask for toilet paper. No, who wouldn't go home there again.
The position was well located for the purpose of our trip. The unit was fair. The generator for load shedding was in poor condition (smoky badly and black soot blown over the vehicles). It also could not meet the building's needs and shut down after 55 min in 4 hours of load shedding. The parking was unfortunately very limited and only suitable for small vehicles. Fortuners, double cab vans are going to have problems.
There were no hangers to hang my clothes. At least I they should have informed me so that I can bring mine.
Chilled neighborhood.
Quiet and comfortable.
So much value in a tiny bottle. Compact, with everything you need and more. Firm bed, and spotless linen. All the little things you get in a luxury hotel room. At least there was double ply toiletpaper. Loved the coffee mugs that change colour with heat. Only complaint was the wifi was a bit unstable, no coat hangers and the busy street.
Very good service. Neat and clean.
We were late. We let the hostess know, she arranged for us to open up, the place was clean, tidy, coffee, tea, powdered milk in the kettle meant a lot to us. A clean, hot shower. Good bed and a good night's rest. In the morning, ehk asked for help with his car and in no time our guest wife sent someone. Thank you very much for the extra, we were truly blessed with the extra mile. Genie's Nest I would recommend to any visitor, there is style here.
It was a lovely apartment to stay in.
This place is definitely recommended. Everything inside was luxurious and it's definitely a place for any person or man and woman to spend the night or to stay there for the week. If I ever come to Pretoria again I will definitely visit this place again. Very centrally located and from there I could easily get on the N4 (or N1) highway on the way home.
Nice rooms and a good meeting area. Never been without power and was always helped if there were any questions, etc. wash. They even washed our clothes and made sure the facilities were clean and tidy every day.
Was a really nice place to stay, very friendly people, had a great stay, would recommend the place to anyone, just a shame they don't take children but can understand why not because of the open pool.
Looked for accommodation for AIG and was nice and close. Plenty of places to eat in the area. Will use them again.
The room was clean and tidy. Good value for money.
It is just that when we got lost we tried to call the owner and his phone was off.
The host Mary was just amazing, the place was clean and safe. The only problem was the WiFi, it did not want to connect.
Very clean, and great value for money!
Lovely staff, very helpful.
The room was very well appointed, with little extra details such as color changing cups with Genie's Nest's emblem on them. The bedding is slightly lower quality than standard hotel linen, but it was white and clean and warm enough for a cold winter's night. The parking is restrictively small and less suitable for large vehicles. Overall a comfortable stay.
The guest house is tidy and safe. It's easy walking distance to shops and shopping centre.
Although parking was a bit of a struggle, we loved staying at Genie's Nest 3. The lock latch on the unit door does not work properly. Other than that we enjoyed our stay.
Parking is a problem and there is a power line in pool which is open on arrival unit was not ready yet, toilet seat was loose and when it rains it is wet at room closet.
The person who received us might have put her cell phone aside when she received us. The kitchen, bathroom and sleeping facilities are very good. We also enjoyed having lunch outside by the pool. Good value for money.
Perfect location as a base to do our business. Could sit in the lapa and relax.
Advertises WiFi, but there is no WiFi at room we slept in, although there was a router in room. Furthermore, everything was very nice, neat and clean. Thank you very much.
Was welcomed by Mary. awesome person! DStv and Wi-Fi available. However I did not need to use the Wi-Fi. Comfortable bed and quiet surroundings. Lovely pool and lapa area! Will definitely book there again when I go to Pretoria.

No hangers in the closets. WiFi just doesn't work at all. Also very nice.
The cupboards do not have clothes hangers, no bench/table on which you can put your suitcase/clothes bag, no dustbin in kitchen. The receptionist's poor communication and very long struggle to get the room key and open doors, while we have to stand and wait, almost made us drive again to look for another place to stay. There is no name of the residence from the street or from the front of the house.
