About La Maison Guesthouse
Once in a while one dreams of an interlude with an era gone by - an oh so gentle step into sepia. Then you realize that you are here - sheltered from the hustle and bustle of city life.
Hatfield Castle is once again being used for the purpose for which it was originally built in 1922. Originally a French castle, it was a weekend hideaway when the area around Hatfield (today), was only part of the bushveld. Today it is still a retreat from the rigours of urban life, situated on the brink of Pretoria's city centre in a quite area in Hatfield.
Accommodation
The stately entrance is a fitting introduction to the noble architectural flair and gives just a little hint of the treasures within; La Maison offers a harmony of historical interests, homely hospitality and culinary delights and is a stone's throw away from every convenience imaginable.
Six beautifully individually decorated and well appointed en-suite bedrooms are situated on the first floor. Four double and two twin bedrooms have all the facilities that you require, so you can leave all that excess baggage behind! We supply toiletries, DSTV, tea/ coffee making facilities, radio/alarm clock, hairdryer and direct-dial telephone.
