We arrived after two very long flights at this wonderful guest house. Our welcome was very warm and we were shown to the most beautiful room decorated with fresh flower petals with access to a lovely outside courtyard garden. I immediately felt at peace. Nothing was too much trouble. We were served a delicious lunch and later had a cheese... More

Tired out after several long flights via different countries in recent times, I was delivered to this unexpected, but greatly appreciated oasis. I was immediately made to feel safe, welcome and truly at a home a long way from home. From the first welcome to the last goodby, the service was friendly, flexible, relaxed and accommodating.

This is more a small boutique hotel rather than a B+B. Bedding, room, restaurant, service and the owners are the best! If you need a room in this area of Pretoria you will never stay anywhere else. Dinner was delicious. Everything was impeccable at the Bohemian.

Been there a few weekend ago and have ZERO complaints. From the welcoming to the departing everything was perfect. Thanks again for a wonderful experience. The accommodation was the cherry on top of a wonderful Afrikaans Is Groot weekend experience. We will certainly recommend to our friend.

For a trip to Johannesburg or Pretoria, this is the perfect choice! Everything about this guesthouse is wonderful! The people, the decor, the breakfast, the rooms, the outdoor area, and the location (for Johannesburg, the airport, or Pretoria). It's perfect for business or pleasure.

A group of nine of us from the UK on a business trip to Pretoria this week all felt that our five-night stay at The Bohemian House was the highlight of our trip. The House is set on a hill and is architecturally a little eccentric, which gives it great charm. The public rooms have many original features that visitors... More

My recent week spent working in Pretoria, based at Bohemian House was simply the best of all my trips to South Africa. The ambience, comfort, food and quiet but attentive hospitality were faultless. Johan, Alta and son Chris are to be congratulated on providing such an exceptional environment. I will return!!

There are many guest houses around the world....and then there is Bohemian House. Truly one of a kind! The moment you enter you are stunned by the architecture and detail, the art and the atmosphere. The tranquility is just as perfect for a tired international businessmen as for an excited couple on their honeymoon. All rooms have balconies or doors into the garden.

Superb service,scrumptious breakfasts, excellent dining in our romantic dining room with dishes influenced by Mediterranean, Moroccan and South African. Fully licensed with the best South African wines. Our guests' safety is a priority and premises are protected. We believe life is too short to be just ordinary! Our guests always return! ... more   less
