134 guests' feedbackVery nice stay, comfortable and friendly.
Very nice and comfortable.
Thank you very much for everything, safe parking, tidy room and everything.
Very nice stay. Owner very friendly.
Very well located! Very neat, clean and friendly reception!
Very nice place to stay, will definitely go back.
Was very nice.
We were warmly received and had a wonderful stay.
See stars.
Convenient location and has a very nice view of the wildlife outside. The owner was very friendly and helpful. There was a unit above our unit with steel stairs and the guests staying there were very disturbing because it was right above us. Furthermore, there was no hand soap, something one would expect from an overnight stay. There was also dust in the bathroom and the unit smelled of smoke even though a no smoking notice was posted. Some of the linen had marks on it and the towels were old and put us off a bit. But at least we slept well.
Yes, but I suggest that there should be lights in the room for load shedding. I also booked a specific room which I did not get.
Stay was ok, room was great. There was no soap or shampoo in the bathroom as we normally experience at other guest houses. Although the owner supplied from her personal stock. We struggled to sleep as another group of rowdy young ladies were partying next door until 1 am in the morning. I called the owner after 12 am and she proceeded to check on them. They continued until 1 am. There was no WiFi available as advertised.
It was a pleasant stay. However, some of the rooms had dirty linen and one room had brown water coming out of the taps with lots of dust lying around the room too.
Environment is very quiet and peaceful. Great atmosphere for friends to visit. The air cooling was an absolute feast with the heat wave we experienced in Pta this weekend.
Neat and good customer service.
Lovely stay, would recommend.
Easy to access, lock up and go. Well-priced stay. My wife and I overnighted in the area and found this location near to where we needed to be. Breakfast the next morning was a delicious omelette with juice that we enjoyed in the garden.
Good stop-over, relatively easy access to highway and other amenities nearby.
Room is neat and private.
Had a nice stay again. Room was clean and tidy. Will definitely stay there again.
The room was exactly as on the website. Spacious and tidy with everything you need. It is located in a quiet environment. We will certainly use the guest house again.
Quiet, well located accommodation that is close to the city, and also close to nature. Quiet, safe neighborhood.
Time just passed too quickly. Feels like home, wanted to stay another night because it was so nice. Will definitely return and stay longer. Bed slept great. Had very friendly and helpful service.
We would definitely recommend it to anyone.
And the location was good. The place was tidy, all that was missing was hand soap in the bathroom.
We had a great stay, but unfortunately the dark cloud over everything was that the breakfast was R115 per person. The owner did not inform us about the price at all and it was the price that had to be paid for egg, sausage, bacon and a slice of toast.
Made prior arrangements with the owner and he helped out a lot which made my stay easier regarding checking in and staying at the accommodation. Place is not far from stores for any needs you may require. The accommodation is suited for all ages and provides different facilities to cater one's needs.
Just a lot of stairs, otherwise everything was neat in the room. I suggest that there is at least bottled water available in the unit. We were unsure if the water was potable to use in the boiler.
I'm a big man and could barely move in the bathroom. The door of the bathroom couldn't swing well either, because you hit the handles of the sink. Had to squeeze into a tight space to get past.
Neat and clean. Beautiful place with very comfortable beds. Everything you need to spend the night was available. Beautiful place, with very friendly owner. Would recommend Windmills Rest anytime.
It was nice. Rooms are neat.
My stay was short, the room was as expected. I would have liked the breakfast option.
Windmills Rest was so much more than we expected. The rooms are spacious and clean. We were in the B and C blocks and were pleasantly surprised at how large and modern the rooms are. It is equipped with all the accessories you need to have a wonderful stay for several days. The beds are of good quality and the linen and cutlery clean. We would definitely recommend Windmills Rest!
The room was clean and tidy. The bed slept very well. The room is large and there is more than enough space.
Was alles en meer. Sal vir seker terugkeer.
Our stay was very comfortable, and the rooms were very clean. The staff are very professional and friendly. The kids really enjoyed the play area and pool. Very worth it, and highly recommended.
Friendly, prompt service. Perfect for our purpose.
Rooms are very spacious and incredibly neat, clean and luxurious. Service very well. Thank you.
The sign with Windmills Rest could be a little bigger.
Very pleasant owners, nice place. Great braai area. Being from the countryside, we thought the city would be noisy, but it's a peaceful and quiet environment. Will definitely stay there again.
People are very helpful and friendly.
Nicole was very friendly and helpful. The place is very neat and clean and the beds sleep nice and warm. Thank you very much we had a nice stay.
We were welcomed very kindly. Neat room with a very nice view of the garden and Bronberg just behind the house.
The rooms are much bigger than we expected, beds are great! Clean, tidy and definitely value for money! The owner was friendly and very professional.
Had a very nice breakfast.
Rooms were spacious and exceptionally clean.
The accommodation is very safely located and in a very peaceful environment.
Christo was very friendly and helpful upon our arrival. Made us feel welcome and at home.
Very well located, beautiful garden and one immediately feels at home. Stairs are not for pensioners.
Stay exceeded all expectations! Friendly reception, spotless rooms and beautiful premises! Would refer anyone there! Value for money.
We were at a wedding not far from Windmills Rest and it was nice to be able to just drive around the corner and be at our destination the evening after the wedding.
The room was lovely and clean. The only thing was the shower floor needs a good scubbing and then the taps and shower head shock you, so that is very dangerous.
The beds were very comfortable. It is a quiet, peaceful area. All problem was a faucet in the sink that leaked constantly. Earlier in the afternoon I asked the lady for soft drinks and water to buy, which I am still waiting for. Their card machine was faulty so I just paid cash. I think they can work on their reception, it was just done by the cleaner. Personally, I wouldn't stay there again, the next night we were in a smaller place and cheaper, but much more welcoming. I immediately regretted booking at Windmills Rest. Don't know if there was WiFi as that information was not passed on. Luckily had my own.
The rooms are very cold as the heating didn’t work in my room, so we were very cold - there are thin blankets to counter the cold. The family room and double suite also had issues with heating. Room 311’s shower electrocuted us when we ran a shower and we made sure not to shower the next morning. Can this be resolved as it’s the most dangerous thing I have seen in a while. The door for 311 was difficult to unlock when you are inside - overall we were glad it was just an overnight spot - lots of room for growth.
The facility did not supply any soap or shampoo, something I would expect at a B&B. The husband being the main contact at the establishment does not communicate with his wife the manager. There was an unfortunate misunderstanding which tainted our stay.
The unit is large, clean and tidy. The unit is further away from the main house and did not have full DSTV and no free wi-fi as advertised. The reception office did not look professional and was very disorganized. It would create a much better impression if it was neat. The security gate has a weird little lock and we struggled to unlock it every time. The guest house was very close to our daughter's wedding venue and therefore very convenient.
No soap in the bathroom, no milk, there was one last piece of toilet paper on the roll, and towels were not neatly folded.
Beautiful place, very friendly people.
Breakfast was not value for money at all. Bread was like rubber, food was ice cold, there was no milk or creamer for coffee in the room.
We stayed at Windmills Rest for the weekend and were not very impressed. The photos make it look like a different place than it really is. In some rooms there was only one towel, even though two people paid. Cutlery was messy and not enough (only one fork for two guests). Towels were yellow stained and hard. There was also no soap to wash your hands with. The bathroom floor and shower were very dirty and there was dust everywhere.
It was clean and all I needed was a bed. Maybe WiFi would be an added advantage.
I would recommend Windmills Rest anytime and definitely visit again.
Wonderful service and very friendly.
Windmills Rest is in a quiet safe area. Units are neat and clean, good value for money. Can recommend accommodation.
Very spacious units and brand new, modern, clean. Best I have ever stayed in Pretoria.
Spacious, peaceful, beautiful. We were warmly received and felt really welcome. We highly recommend Windmills Rest. Thank you very much.
The guest house is particularly beautiful.
Very good and will definitely return.
Room was clean and tidy with beautiful surroundings. Great location.
Cleaner was most accommodating and friendly. The use of a generator during loadshedding was appreciated.
The accommodation met my requirements 100%. The facilities were very neat and everything was very new in the room. We will visit again.
Unit had all the required necessities, very spacious and neat. Safe parking near a play area for the children. Unit fully tiled, it includes DSTV and an aircon. Small kitchen to make easy meals. Very pleasant. Forgot something? No problem, variety shops to choose from.
Very neat and clean. Friendly staff and peaceful surroundings.
Nice stay can recommend.
It's a shame there wasn't a cookie soap at the sink and bath and shower gel at the shower would have been very nice.
Windmills Rest is located in a quiet and beautiful environment. Unit is spacious, well equipped for self-catering, power was also available during load shedding. Christo and his wife are good hosts who make you feel at home. Value for money, can recommend stay.
We felt very welcome and at home. The accommodation definitely met and exceeded our needs.
The room was very spacious. We stayed overnight for a wedding, but we could easily have a holiday at this place. Can't believe one is in the city, can e.g. no traffic at all. Swartskaap Bistro is a few hundred meters away if you want to have breakfast the next morning. Would definitely recommend that people spend the night here.
Would definitely recommend them! For sure value for money!
Would highly recommend them to any guests Enjoyed our stay incredibly!
Thank you very much Nicol for your patience. Had a great stay and will definitely stay here again.
Will definitely stay there again, especially once pasture is open. The rooms are modern and large.
Went there as a group of 9 ladies and we really enjoyed our stay. The place is beautiful. The family rooms are spacious and neat.
Excellent value for money. Very neat.
See stars.
What a lovely surprise. Large spacious room with aircon and enough towels and everything needed. Neat and clean and we slept great. Safety is also fantastic. I would suggest it to anyone.
See stars.
We stayed in the Hani room and it was very clean and safe. However, it is not mentioned that the Hani room is a unit that is on the top floor. It requires a lot of style climbing. It would be nice if it was indicated on the website.
Room was clean and well kept however the price for the overall offering was high. In future, we will go with more affordable accommodation elsewhere that will give us better value for money!
Windmills rest was amazing, neat and we really enjoyed our time there.
Very professional and I will definitely make use of them again. Windmills Rest is clean and has friendly service.
Would book here again anytime. One of the best places we've ever stayed at with everything you need.
My second time staying here and always love it.
Friendly hosts, lovely rooms, very clean and welcoming.
Clean, tidy and comfortable. Owners are very friendly and go out of their way to accommodate you with any requests. Double room was ideal for our family of 4 with 2 small children.
Very friendly welcoming and felt at home immediately. Will go back anytime.
We were very warmly welcomed even though we had to sign at press time due to a wedding we had to attend. We were checked in in 5 minutes, got keys and out without any problems. The unit was very nice and tidy when we arrived again late in the evening.
Wonderful personal and professional service.
Christo is very helpful. What is great is that they have a large generator on site that provides power if Eskom does not.
See stars.
Very peaceful and quiet. It's pretty far out of town that makes it peaceful.
Our stay was lovely. There weren't enough braais for everyone staying there.
Nice and peaceful. Clean and tidy. Near all the shops. The owners are very friendly. Will most defiantly book again and will recommend to anyone with or without a family.
We stayed very well, room was spacious and had everything we needed.
I would recommend Windmills Rest with confidence. Very good value for money with all that one needs. Very good reception and safe! From now on, it's my "go to" place in Pretoria.
We were so happy with our stay at Windmills Rest. My sister and I shared a room. Our room was very nice, big, neat, safe and we literally lacked nothing, because everything was provided. I will definitely refer others to Windmills Rest. Best guest house we have visited in a long time and will not go anywhere else again. Thank you very much.
Rooms were clean and 100% according to our need. Service was friendly.
Owners are extremely friendly, helpful and hospitable. It's a beautiful place and is so peaceful and out of the hustle and bustle of the city. Very safe and definitely worth it. I go back there every time.
Windmills Rest is very neat and has all you need. Owner friendly and rate very reasonable.
Thank you Christo for the trouble you went to and that you were so hospitable. We enjoyed it a lot, didn't rest so much but had quality time and it was very nice to look out over the lights from the patio.
Absolutely great place to stay. Good value for your money. Excellent service and room was super clean and beautiful.
It was very nice and everything was perfect from the moment we got there until we drove off. The bride was so happy and we could have enjoyed the bachelorette. Windmills Rest is beautiful and we would definitely recommend it to anyone who just wants a getaway. Value for money and everything was clean and tidy. 5 star!
I would sleep there again anytime, very friendly people and very safe.
Good service, well located and very reasonable.
Very pleasant and safe. Would definitely recommend. Would have preferred just a door/partition to bathroom.
We were very satisfied with everything at Windmills Rest. Wish we could stay longer.
We had a great time at Windmill's Rest. Nicole was very hospitable and often came to sit with us around the barbecue fire. Her boys had fun playing with our children. Everything was clean and we can't complain about anything. Even the dogs were happy to see us every day! They are conveniently located and we felt very safe. The garden is so beautiful green!
Very nice and clean, safe, comfortable and friendly. Would recommend to anyone.
The tranquility was very relaxing. Would like to see bathrooms with doors. We were 12 persons and children who were constantly moving between the rooms. The rooms were spacious and the beds and bedding very comfortable. Thank you very much for your hospitality and kindness.
What a pleasure. Will stay there again! Thank you.
Nicole and Christo, thank you very much for a wonderful weekend at your place! Will definitely make use of your wonderful hospitality again! Your place is very neat and clean, will recommend it to anyone who wants a tranquil getaway! Greetings!
Upon arrival I was welcomed by Nicole. After she let me in and showed me around, my time there was private and tranquil, safe and had all that I needed.
I was sceptical at first, as the price seemed rather cheap, but I can truly say that this is the best establishment that I have been to in a while. Beautifully decorated and spacious rooms, everything you need, including a wonderful comfortable bed. Quiet, central, relaxing and safe with lovely hosts. I can truly recommend this place. I will definitely be back! Thank you Nicole and Christo and Gary (the dog) for welcoming me!
The stay was very nice. Well furnished. Secure covered parking.
Calm and quiet. Very neat and clean. Owners very friendly.
It was very pleasant to stay there, would definitely recommend it.
Recommended for any business travelers. Peaceful surroundings, excellent WiFi option for those who can't shut down.
It was quiet and relaxing, but yeat close to the amenities. The owners were friendly and helpful. Will definitely go back.
Good service.
Will definitely recommend Windmills. Peaceful atmosphere and very quiet. Everything was neat and clean, the people there were very friendly.
Windmills Rest was clean, neat and spacious accommodation for our family. The premises is pretty and quiet.
Really a beautiful place.
We attended my daughter's wedding and the resort was situated very near the wedding venue and there are plenty of restaurants nearby. I would recommend Windmills rest to anyone needing short term accommodation in the Pretoria East area.
