Illyria House

I've been there again. The personal attention of even the owner is really heart warming! The place is so classy. You don't even feel that you are in the middle of the city.

Book spa before the time. If you book and say before what you want, the service and treatment is really awesome.

Breakfasts are the best in Pretoria.

Peaceful is the best way to describe this place!

Hidden away, and very secure. Be prepared for an inspiring visit. We were taken around the establishment and the quaint, immaculately kept rooms, pools, lawn, jacuzzis,and patios take your breath away. The dining experience was absolutely top notch. And service was way over the norm. This is a real gem, to which I will definitely return. 5 Star rating, and very worthy of it

My favourite place in the whole South Africa. I had amazing wedding there and stay. And visiting it all the time since than. A little paradise. With awesome stuff. Amazing food, fantastic spa and beautiful rooms to stay. The owner is very special lady. Thank her for such a beautiful and special place she created where you want to come back again and again.

Outstanding! My husband Mark and I had the most incredible night celebrating our 38th Wedding Anniversary. We went to my favorite place in South Africa the romantic Illyria House Boutique hotel which is like stepping in to paradise in Pretoria. This place is like a dream come true in terms of romance and luxury. Everything looks like an ancient castle and we were treated like absolute royalty with our own butler who gave us impeccable service. The beauty of the place is so special that I took some videos to capture this incredible place. We were offered dinner in the romantic Wine cellar by candle light but we chose to sit on the airy spacious patio overlooking the luscious garden. Every time my husband and I visit Illyria we see the improvements and more beautifully painted murals and unusual decor that just keeps getting better with every visit. The fresh smell of orchids was enchanting and I really loved our very special honeymoon night in such a magnificent setting . I cannot wait for an excuse to go back. The heated swimming pool was so relaxing and so comfortable to swim in even though it was evening and the incredible meal of perfect cordon blue cooking was one of the best meals I ever had. I highly recommend this beautiful hotel.

Went there for a spa day, but left more stressed than I came. I was really looking forward to this but really it was just a waste of money and time.
My nails are ruined and I just couldn’t wait to get home, didn’t bother to use the pool or anything...
I did really like the waiter I had though and felt bad the rest wasn’t up to the standard of his service and charm...
It is what it is though.

We celebrated my friend's babyshower there on Sunday afternoon. When looking at the pictures of the hotel online the garden looks much bigger than it is, but it is perfect for a quaint event. We had lots of fun and the food was really great! Try the butternut soup. The rooms upstairs were also amazing. The lack of parking and the steep slopes are a bit challenging and the entrance was a bit of a mission to navigate to. But all in all it is a great venue.

What a great place. The rooms here are crazy big, the food is delicious and it feels like you're being served at a palace. The grounds is also massive with a wide variety of scenery, really an awesome place to visit for tourists and locals alike.
