The Farm Inn Country Hotel and Conference Centre in Pretoria South Africa - Accommodation in a thatched lodge in a private wildlife park

THE FARM INN COUNTRY HOTEL PRETORIA

The Farm Inn is a privately owned Country Hotel and Conference Centre with 83 rooms and suites on the eastern outskirts of Pretoria, just 20 minutes from Central Pretoria, and 50 minutes from Johannesburg. The Farm Inn is a great getaway, an ideal conference venue or the perfect setting for your wedding. The Farm Inn has that special extra something - a wildlife sanctuary with 23 species including Lion, Leopard and Cheetah.

Nestling on a rocky outcrop under the African sun and built of thatch, stone and natural materials, the exclusive Farm Inn exudes an African stone palace atmosphere and is set in park like grounds on a private game sanctuary. Guests may relax in the beautiful ambience of the lounge or bar, for a truly African experience. Both are well appointed and offer a peaceful respite after a long day. Enjoy a sundowner, cocooned in the high, stone walled thatch roof, with the comfort of exquisite furnishings intimately grouped for your requirements.

About Us
Pedro & Rose Michaletos bought the original property in 1979 to breed Arabian Horses. At that time there was just a single storey thatched house, no road, no power and no telephone. Pedro brought the Palm Trees from the Hellenic Hotel (which Pedro previously owned in Central Pretoria) and planted them in Farm Inn soil. His thoughts were “if the trees grow, then we’ll grow”.

Accommodation
The Farm Inn has 83 bedrooms, which are all individually decorated, all with bathroom en-suite and some with an open log fireplace. Rooms are spacious and comfortable, offering you a home away from home feeling. All bedrooms are equipped with TV/M-Net & some DSTV Channels as well as tea/coffee making facilities. Most have either a private balcony or French doors leading onto landscaped gardens.
