“Fantastic! Excellent in every way.” Andrew
Exceptional, Didier, France, December 2018
L'accueil, la situation, le cadre. Le fait d'être dans un enclos est très appréciable. Nous n'avons malheureusement pas eu le temps de profiter de la piscine ! Le logement est très bien équipé et est très agréable.

We spent one night at Ciara Lodge as a couple. Nice facilities, very quiet and tranquil. The 1-bedroom chalet was rustic, spacious and clean. Really enjoyed our stay!

Highly recommended - thank you for very pleasant stay, Ronnie, GB, February, 2016
Wonderful 4 days spent in one of the lovely lodges. Attention to detail and lovely touches in the lodge. Thoroughly enjoyed the lodge, swimming pool and braai/barbeque area. Easy access and secure parking.

Ciara lodge het aan al ons verwagtings voldoen. Ons is vriendelik ontvang en die eenheid was baie skoon en pragtig. Ons sal beslis weer hier bespreek in die toekoms. Ons het ook baie tuis gevoel tussen die ander gaste wat daar was. Ons beveel Ciara lodge baie sterk aan.

What a lovely place after a long day. Clean, good quality bedding and mattresses, well maintained garden and cottages. Value for money.
Absolutely gorgeous location with clean, beautifully decorated rooms. We were upgraded for free as the lodge wasn't fully booked. Thank you for making my fiancé's last night in SA so comfortable and memorable!

Its my favourite place in Pretoria and the best very happy with Ciara xxx
Fantastic. Such a great place to spend some quality time away with the family. Both of my visits have been absolutely amazing. The self catering cottages are fully furnished and very neat. Prices are very reasonable as well👍I highly recommend this accommodation.
The most beautiful place in a quiet neighbourhood in Pretoria... If you are in your unit you forget being in the city, feeling like in the mountains in a cabin somewhere... Whish we had more time than only a sleepover...
Dit was fantasties en sal beslis weer daar kom bly., Anita G - Apr 2019
Was baie ingenome met verblyf en diens. Eenhede is pragtig en atmosfeer rustig. Sal beslis kan aanbeveel.

Entspannter Aufenthalt in Pretoria, Marcus-ger, Germany, February, 2019
Die Gastgeberin ist eine sehr liebe Frau und macht den Aufenthalt sehr angenehm. Wundervolles Gästehaus in der sichersten Gegend Pretorias. Man kann dort wundervoll joggen. Die Holzhäuser sind sehr süß.

My family and I enjoyed our stay. There was a trampoline and swings for the kids to play on. A swimming pool. The kids really enjoyed themselves. Highly recommended value for money.
Renata Bradfield, South Africa, October 2015
Compliments to the owners! Our weekend at Ciara Lodge was wonderful. We loved the cleanliness of the bungalow as well as the grounds. It felt like being somewhere in the Bushveld, but it is in Pretoria. We felt safe due to the electronic gate and high fences and the car was safely parked inside. Loved the fact that each bungalow had its own barbeque facility. We will definitely visit again.
Prachtige Plek, Trienke, Nederlands, September, 2015
Je zit in Pretoria maar daar merk je niks van. Staat in een hele goede buurt dichtbij een supermarkt en eettentjes. De huisjes zijn schoon. Alles voor evt koken is aanwezig. De mensen zijn vriendelijk, een goede service.
Christo Schoeman, South Africa, July 2015
Neat, clean and quiet. Did enjoy stay and will go to Ciara Lodge again.
Te gekke plek om te ontspannen!, Luther, Netherlands, January 2015
Ben er twee keer geweest en allebei de keren waren te gek. Een fantastische eigenaresse die je op je gemak laat voelen. Het is een ideale plek om te verblijven en vervolgens activiteiten te gaan doen.
Bongani Kaunda, South Africa, December 2014
We had a good peaceful time at Ciara lodge. After a long and stressful wedding planning season the lodge was just a perfect place to rest and reflect on the work put together. Thank you so much. The place felt like home far away from home.
Food value for money, Frank Francis, Mongolia, November, 2014
The Lodge was perfect for my two nights short stay. It has lot of positives:
(1) Very reasonably priced (2) Internet (3) Safe Parking
(4) Great ambiance (5)Swimming Pool
(6)Clean Room with all that one needs for a comfortable stay, including cable TV
(7) Close to my area of interest (Menlyn)
The Owner Carolyn was helpful and courteous. I will most definitely stay there once again. Highly recommended.
Prof Smit, South Africa, July 2014
My stay was very nice. I certainly would recommend it to others and return for another visit.
Perfectly Peaceful, Judi, Irland, April, 2014
We stayed at Ciara Lodge with our 4yo son and would absolutely recommend it. Close to all the Pretoria has to offer and yet in a quiet suburb it is the perfect place to relax and unwind as well as tour the area from. From our warm and welcoming reception by Carolien and her staff on arrival to the absolutely beautiful surroundings, Ciara Lodge is exceptional. It is quiet, peaceful and relaxed. Not somewhere suitable for those looking for a lively party experience. However it is an amazing place to stay if you would like to recharge your batteries and spoil yourself. We stayed here after a long flight and for the first few days of our tour of SA and it was perfect.
We plan to return to Ciara Lodge for a longer stay during our next trip to SA. It’s a little bit like heaven!
Beautiful Gorunds, Amanda, Texas, USA, April, 2014
The lodge was more than adequate for our short stay and we would consider planning a longer stay here, especially in the 2 bedroom apartment that has a full kitchen. The grounds were beautiful and the trampoline, swing, pool, fountain,and slide kept my kids busy.
Great place for a few nights, stop over, arrie, London, UK, January, 2014
A lovely stay we had in October 2013 and will stay again in the future. We loved the dogs - and beautiful grounds and cabins, fully equipped and finished off really well, attention to detail really good, spotless and great quality control. We were impressed with the quality of the accommodation.
Reon Schutte, Mexico, June 2013
It was a very pleasant, relaxing stay. Definarly will use them again
Adam Boeszoermenyi, Hungary, November 2013
We have enjoyed a kind and perfect accommodation. It's a pity, that it was a very short time, we could spend there.
Great facilities and great people, Brad-Madu, Pretoria, South Africa, September, 2013
I will definitely go back when I am in Pretoria. Kids loved the trampoline and the pool, I liked that it was a little out of the way but still close enough to anything you need. We slept 5 in our unit and it was just fine. Wife would have preferred a bath tub but the well decorated and wel appointed kitchen made up for it. There are not a lot of channels on TV so be warned if you're counting on catching your favorite show.
Comfortable, relaxed lodge to stay in Pretoria, Chrisella, Malaysia, August, 2013
I live and work overseas, and I stay at Ciara Lodge about 3 times a year when visiting in SA. The chalets are beautifully decorated, very cosy; beds are comfortable, kitchenette has got everything you need to prepare own meals. Outside every chalet a small verandah with chairs and table, and even a small barbeque stand! Bathrooms lovely, some with huge bathtub and shower! Always spotlessly clean, very well organized. Laundry can be done at an extra fee. Owner is nicest lady and very helpful, staff well trained and friendly. Safe parking inside a locked gate. Many restaurants, take-away shops and shopping centres in the vicinity.
Een feest om te verblijven, Nelle, Assen, Netherlands, February 2013
We hebben 2 lange weekenden in Ciara Lodge gelogeerd. Zeer complete lodges, prachtig opgemaakte bedden etc. Koffie en thee zit bij de prijs in. En, als je een was laat doen tegen zeer schappelijke prijzen, krijg je bijv. je overhemden strak gestreken weer terug. De beheerster kan je helpen met tips wat je zeker moet gaan zien in Pretoria en omgeving.We hebben zeer genoten.Nogmaals baie dankie,Wout en Nelleke Bronsema, Assen Nederland
Dr.Vera Vokolkova, March 2011
Our stay was very pleasant, the facilities are perfect - interior design is unique. We can recommend this facility to anyone looking for a clean, quiet and friendly atmosphere.

Wonderful cheap place to stay, Janny, Rotterdam, May 2007
We booked the Ciara Lodge in Pretoria trough the internet. What a great place in a nice area in Pretoria, very safe. It was a large apartment in African style in a beautiful garden. Everything you needed was there. We payed only € 30,00 p/night.
