About Us - Meintjieskop Guest House

About Meintjieskop Guesthouse

Meintjieskop Guest House opened in 1992, with only 3 rooms as starting point. Through the years, we became well known and more popular amongst guests visiting Pretoria. Newly built private rooms were added to the Guesthouse, and we can now accommodate up to 16 Guests.

Situated against the south-eastern slope of the historic Meintjieskop hill, the Guest House rubs shoulders with the Presidency, Foreign Affairs and is a mere 600m from the Union Buildings overlooking Pretoria.
