Ben's Bed and Breakfast is located in the beautiful Bailey’s Muckleneuk suburb of Pretoria. This boutique B&B offers accommodation in 3 individually decorated rooms. All rooms feature built-in cupboards, tea and coffee-making facilities, TVs with full DStv channels, and Wi-Fi connection. An English breakfast is included with each stay. Guests have access to the garden with a swimming pool and braai facilities.
Ben’s Bed & Breakfast has been the family home of the beloved actor Ben Kruger and I, his wife of 38 years, for close on 30 years. It is a wonderful, rambling, old, grand Brooklyn home from the early 1940s - probably. It has a great sense of peace and steadfastness, set in a charming big garden with a swimming pool to cool down in, warm from exposure to our African sun. It is centrally situated yet away from the craziness of our city lives. When you are next in Pretoria, spend your time here and recapture a little of your inner soul. We look forward to welcoming you.
The B&B is situated in close proximity of Austin Roberts Bird Sanctuary, Brooklyn Mall, Little Company of Mary Hospital, University of Pretoria, Loftus Versfeld Stadium, and Pretoria Boys High School.
