Coming from north-west Botswana, I had to spend a night in Pretoria with my children for passport renewal. Bay tree lies centrally in the Pretoria embassy area, is secure, quite affordable and offers quality service. Excellent stay!

We have just returned from a swim meet in Pretoria and our team stayed with Renee and Fred at Bay Tree. We were treated like royalty and were made to feel right at home. As a sporting team we had our already reasonable rate discounted to a point where it was the best value for money ever. The guest house... More

We've been staying at the Baytree every year for the past three years (my wife has known the place and loved it for almost a decade). It is owned and run by Renee and Fred McCleary, who always make us feel at home -- almost as if we're part of their family. They go well beyond what we'd expect even... More

Baytree is run by Renee and Fred who cannot do enough for their guests. The place is spotless and quite beautiful. Our "room" is enormous: An entrance way, large bedroom, a huge dressing room and a large, modern, clean bathroom. We have our own private orchid garden which leads out to the beautiful pool area. We have our own kettle,... More

We spent a night there for the second time and were once again overwhelmed by the generous hospitality and attention to detail! Nothing is too much trouble! Rooms are luxuriously comfortable and the rates are extremely fair! This is definitely our home from home in Pretoria and conveniently close to the University for us! Very close to Loftus Versfeld stadium... More

This BB/guesthouse is our home for 18 days -- and we love it. The owner, Renee, is caring and thoughtful. She is very hands-on and makes sure that everything is alright, if not perfect. The service is personalize. Her husband, Fred, is equally warm and friendly. There's a garden and a pool to relax. Security is good. There's even a... More

We spent a wonderful time at this guest house. We had never expected such a personlised welcome and hospitality and we are very happy that we have chosen the Bay Tree Guest house. Renee, the owner is a wonderful person and she makes her guests feel that she really cares about all of us. She went not only the extra... More

On arrival we were warmly greeted by Renée Mc Cleary and spoiled with coffee and a slice of home baked 'melktert', a true South African treat. Beds were made up as requested in advance with sheets and a blanket - the bedroom was spacious. We went out to a family 'DO' in the evening and I had the misfortune to... More

We were booked into Bay Tree by our employers and it was perfect. Renee runs her guest house with the efficiency and conviences that you would expect of a top class hotel. But of course it's much nicer to be in an unprentious atmosphere, to enjoy peace and quiet and still the amenities (excellent wifi, coffee/tea, pool). Breakfast is terrific,... More
