Stay-a-While Guesthouse

Quaint Guest House situated in "The Avenues" in the quiet residential suburb of Edenvale with lush garden surroundings, private covered patios alongside the rooms and pool with private courtyard gardens. Three interlinked and landscaped properties centred around the oldest house in Edenvale, this historic house built circa 1911 to 1916 has been lovingly restored and the steel pressed ceilings and wooden floors are a reminder of days gone by.

Accommodation:

Stay-a-While guest house comprises ten suites, set in secure gardens with off street parking and with a large swimming pool for those sunny Highveld days. Our ten (one single room, seven double rooms and 2 family suites) well-appointed suites all have DSTV, self- catering kitchenettes, clock radios and en-suite bathrooms with showers and/or baths, with private access and off street parking for all guests.

All suites have access to wireless internet as well as DSTV. A fridge, microwave, toaster , kettle and a courtesy tray with coffee, tea, sugar and creamers are available in each suite.

The gardens have prolific bird-life because of the indigenous trees and nests. Some of the regular birds (in their seasons) are starlings, black-collar barbets, Long-Billed Wood Hoepoe, Crested Barbet, Robin, African Go-away Birds, Shrike, Mouse-Birds, African Hoepoe, Hadeda's and more.

The relaxing gardens along with the outside gazebo and swimming pool, really comes in handy during the Summer months and is best enjoyed between the months of September and April. This area also has a braai facility for barbeques and bonfires.
