"Pearl" derives from the German word "Perlhuhn," ( pronounced pell:hoon ) which is a guinea fowl. Direct translation - English : pearl chicken ; Afrikaans : pêrelhoender.
Pearl Guest House lies 20 km east of Pretoria, in Donkerhoek close to Rayton and Cullinan. We are near the N4 highway and several popular wedding venues and function/conference centres.
The guest house is situated on a portion of the original farm Kleinfontein which was owned by David Botha, the Pioneer who built the Pioneer Museum homestead in 1846 in Silverton Pretoria. The vegetation is typical highveld open savanna dominated by Sweet Thorn trees ( Acacia Karroo ).
Our guest house consists of one family room open plan and one en-suite room:
Pearl Family Room is an Open Plan unit, with a double bed and two single beds, also up in the loft area another two single beds, sharing a bathroom. It also has a open plan kitchenette which is fully equipped with a fridge , microwave and coffee station, a "stoep" /patio with table and chairs Weber braai on request. DSTV and free Wifi.
Our Studio Room has a king-sized bed (or two single beds), a full en-suite bathroom, a small sitting area, DSTV and free Wifi a fridge and tea- and coffee-making facilities.
Both Pearl Family Room and Studio Room have separate entrances and their own patios overlooking the garden or swimming pool with a peaceful bushveld view towards the Bronberg.
Here you can relax before/after a wedding, conference or other event, or just come for a relaxing break in the countryside.
We offer an "on the go" breakfast as an optional extra. You can enjoy this breakfast on the patio or take it with you when you leave.

An outside boma-braai, surrounded with farm style grasslands, veld flowers and stunning aloe and succulent garden.
At Pearl Shack we love quirky, upcycle, repurpose, colour, artsy, rusty, and old. We created a home away from home – the walls were painted by hand to compliment the theme and you can choose between The Louvre, Jungle, Kalahari, Bo-ho, Botanical or Steampunk room – we have 2 large bathrooms with 6 showers (3 men & 3 ladies), 4 toilets (3 men & 2 ladies), 4 basins (2 men & 2 ladies).

Pearl Gastehuis,
Ruim, skoon en bekostigbaar. Fantastiese atmosfeer en die klein dingetjies soos blomme en sjokoladetjies laat gaste "alte welkom" voel.
Doen so voort!

Never did we imagine that a chance encounter at a non descript petrol station would lead us to such an attractive and comfortable guest house.
We can't thank you enough for making us so welcome at such short notice.
The room is very comfortable and we had everything we needed.
We very much enjoyed our last breakfast in South Africa sitting in your lovely garden.
With very many thanks

Why the $elect Stays initiative?
- Encourage and boost local tourism through making holidays more affordable.
This is achieved by offering locals a 15% saving. The same 15% that would have left our shores had it been paid as commission to an International Booking site. - Reduce the dependancy on large International Booking sites.
This is achieved by building up a loyal following of verified users who we will market to on an exclusive and regular basis to maximise the opportunity. - Ensure more money stays within local tourism to benefit us all.
It is no secret that the large International Booking sites pay no or very little tax to South Africa or Namibia. By taking back a little more control we boost our own economy, and in particular, our local tourism. This is good for us all.
Read this article on how the Australian holiday accommodation sector is suffering in the same way. - Exclusive.
Only listings on Stays can participate, which means less competition for bookings.

Terms & Conditions
- The property (you) must offer the 15% saving to all verified members
- Verification is done automatically at the time of an enquiry. It is at the property’s discretion whether to offer the saving for a telephonic enquiry. (As you have no means to verify the membership number, it is advisable to get them to do a formal enquiry so they can be verified).
- If the property is currently running a "Special" greater than 15% then the "Special" price will apply. (No further savings needs to be offered). EXCEPT in the case where the "Special" is lower than 15%. In that case the 15% will apply.
Example: A property offering a 10% discount, must offer an additional 5% discount to valid members - so they get a total 15% saving. - The property must offer valid members the saving all year round. (Properties that pick and chose in which seasons to participate run the risk of being removed from the programme completely. Allowing selective participation defeats the integrity of this initiative).
- The property must not inflate the price before the 15% is applied. Prices displayed should be the rack rate. (The official or advertised price of a room).
- The property must honour any bookings made while the property was participating as a $elect Stays property.
- The property must honour the agreement and the spirit in which the initiative is designed to benefit local tourism.
