Best Getaways 
Brooks Cottage
You have just discovered Brooklyn’s little secret. A place where old-world charm meets modern-day convenience. Nestled in this well established eastern suburb lies Brooks Cottage, a guesthouse, newly restored to its original splendour under the watchful eye of the National Monuments Council. The magnificent Jacaranda trees create a natural carpet of purple blossoms that crackle and pop beneath your car as you glide towards your final destination. This exclusive Brooklyn neighbourhood situated just east of the city centre and only a stone’s throw away from the University of Pretoria is also home to Brooklyn Mall – one of South Africa’s premier shopping experiences. Warm and gracious hospitality greets you upon arrival. After a restful night tucked under your down-filled duvet you awake to the natural morning sunlight contemplating the warm shower and 5-star breakfast that awaits. This lovely old home, with its Oregon floors and beautiful pressed ceilings, offers you a choice of five tastefully decorated north-facing rooms each with their own private entrance and full en-suite bathrooms – shower and bath.
