Kirkness, the name, has a long tradition and is known to the people of this area as the old brick-making factory where red bricks were made. The peaceful residential area of Clydesdale has many of these red brick houses build with bricks from the Kirkness factory. Our guests are welcomed by the old style charm of a red chimney, traditional sash windows, wooden floors and pressed metal ceilings.

Kirkness Guest House is owned by Phia and Michelle, and was initially used as a psychology practice. Since inception the idea was to share the beauty of this place and offer it as a global home. For the last 2 years we have worked on optimizing this facility to accommodate local and international guests. Careful consideration was taken during this process to stay true to original style but incorporate modern leisure, lifestyle and living.

Pete will make your stay at Kirkness Guest House memorable. Pete is a cob-building expert who bakes fresh bread in a wooden oven. Not to mention his coffee, which you can enjoy with your breakfast and newspaper. Catch the early morning sun on the deck outside or enjoy breakfast in the dining area, on the stoep or in front of the fireplace in the lounge.

Kirkness Guest House grows its own herbs and vegetables, and is proud of our ongoing intention to offer our guests hospitality within sustainable conscious living.
History

The name `Kirkness` has a long tradition in this area. One of the first brick works in Pretoria was owned by, and named after, the Kirkness family. The red bricks made by the Kirkness factory are typical of houses and other buildings in the vicinity. Mr Kirkness had Kirkness House build on Muckleneuck Hill only about 5 minutes drive from Clydesdale and boasted that the whole house was built from rejects from his factory. This stately building is currently home of the Korean ambassador. Other historical buildings that were built with these face bricks include the old Reserve Bank building on Church Square and the Zuid-Afrikaanse Hospital, also on Muckleneuck Hill.

The street that runs behind Loftus was named after Mr Kirkness who was a well-known and honoured member of society at the time when Pretoria started to find its outskirts in what is now known as the `Old East`.

Kirkness Guest House is owned by Phia Kotze and Michelle Beneke and was initially used as psychology practice. Since inception the idea was to share this beautiful place and offer it as a global home to travellers. For the last two years we have worked to optimize this facility to welcome local and international guests. Careful consideration was taken to stay true to original style but incorporate modern leisure, lifestyle and living. Our vision is for Kirkness Guest House to showcase sustainable living. We have a small herb and vegetable garden, partial solar heating and we recycle all glass and paper. Our organic waste we utilize as compost.

Peter and Enued will make sure your stay at Kirkness Guest House is not only comfortable and pleasant but also memorable.
