Bwelani Guest House - Brooklyn Pretoria 

This luxury 4 star, spacious guest house with it's tranquil ambience offers a "home away from home" experience. It is centrally situated in Brooklyn – one of Pretoria's most prestigious and exclusive neighbourhoods.

Bwelani is in close proximity to many of Pretoria's academic, diplomatic, sporting, medical, shopping and government institutions.

 Bwelani offers an environment where guests have the opportunity to relax and recharge. The South African Tourism Grading Council awarded it a 4 star rating.

The guest house is eloquently decorated with a unique African style. The majority of the art pieces were collected by the owner during the many years she had the privilege of living and working in Africa and the Middle East; as well as during extensive travels across the globe. The diverse 'origin' of the pieces makes for a rich, unique and eclectic décor.

The name "Bwelani" comes from the Chichewa language – a indigenous language widely spoken in Malawi – which means "join us" / "you are welcome". This attitude/spirit is clearly displayed by the friendly and helpful staff's conduct. The staff pride themselves on their attention to detail and catering for the diverse needs/requirements of their guests.
