The Lakes Boutique Lodge
Great stay at the Lakes Hotel. Thanks to Susan and the rest of the staff. Our room overlooking the 10th fairway was excellent.

Protea Hotel by Marriott Pretoria Loftus Park
Good hotel, didn’t give the room 5/5 but only 4/5 because of a whining/whistling sound throughout the whole night that stopped me from sleeping well. That and the AC temperature couldn’t be reduced below 18C. Otherwise can’t fault the hotel for anything.
