Zelante is a word used to describe a zealous person who spends a lot of time or energy supporting something they strongly believes in.

When you set foot in Zelante, you are not merely entering a place to stay but an authentic way of living, being and relaxing in an atmosphere that was carefully crafted with zeal, enthusiasm, and devotion.

The theme and feel of the house could be best described as true, authentic old-world charm quaintly married to a modern way of living, and it encapsulates the nature and essence of the host, who is passionate about and devoted to creating living spaces.

We offer three en-suite bedrooms, all of which are equipped with a kettle, microwave and small fridge, perfect for travellers who travel for business or have loved ones in the hospital as we are centrally located in the east of Pretoria, in close proximity to various hospitals.

You will have access to the swimming pool, private gym, outside dining, and recreational spaces where you can relax and enjoy your own meals under the grape vine at your own time and leisure. All appropriate cutlery and crockery will be provided.

You are welcome to enjoy your own drinks in the bar, which is sunny and perfect for relaxing, reading a book or watching TV and is equipped with glasses, an ice machine and an air conditioner.

Life is not only about leisure, and if you must work, we will make that as comfortable as possible for you as well by providing access to shared office space with printing facilities. A private office and extra screens can also be arranged if needed.

There are no televisions in the bedrooms, but free Wifi is available for streaming on your own devices. The house has backup solar power and is not affected by load-shedding or power outages.

Our family includes Lydia, who has been part of the family for 24 years. She will service your room daily on request, and special laundry arrangements can be made. We also have two very loving little dogs named Liela and Lexi.
