Illyria House Boutique Hotel & Spa Pretoria

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

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!

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.

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.

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.

I wasn't impressed at all. We had our year-end function there. The food was haphazardly put together, no originality - we had high tea and I could've served better at home to give you an idea, no interesting teas from around the world, stuck in a corner with one waiter who couldn't get to each of us and we had to pass him our plates. Guys go else. They did charge us FULL price of course.

Was fortunate to have a surprise 60th birthday celebration here on Saturday 11 August 2018. My previous experience at Illyria House was impressive many years ago as a Maid of Honour at a friend's wedding. I was deffinately the queen for the night here, celebrating with dear and near ones... We had sole access to the entrance lobby, lounge and dining room.. So spoiled! The Shere oppulance of Illyria House allowed everyone to enjoy old world charm in a totally unique setting in a peaceful area and the excellent staff were like ghosts, always available but not noticeable....well trained and truly professional. Dinner was a six course meal, well prepared and very generous! A private affair for all our guests with no trouble at all and not a single guest left unimpressed.... Flowers and decor was so special.... Candles everywhere. So romantic and so private! Thank you. I will hold more lovely memories till the next time..

Horrible Mothers Day experience !!! Food was disgusting and just thrown together especially having to tell them what we would prefer to eat on the Friday before and still getting the order messed up!!! Horrible service!!! Took ages to bring food and drinks My mom was definitely not happy
