Boutique Hotels to Stay in Centurion
The boutique choice in Centurion is small, and I would rather give it to you straight: three hotels carry this label, and they are quite different from one another. One sits on Centurion Lake beside the mall and the Gautrain, one is a Cape-Dutch style stay in a large oak-tree garden in Clubview, and one is a family-friendly property with kitchenettes in the rooms. None is a design hotel in the big-city sense, but each has more character than a standard chain stay. Read what each listing says, and choose by the kind of base you want.
Centurion is a calm, green suburban city between Johannesburg and Pretoria, built around Centurion Lake and its gardens. It has little of the big-city rush, so a small hotel with a garden or a lake view feels at home here.
Where to stay
Three small hotels, three different moods
Centurion's boutique hotels are few, and each does something different: ANEW offers the lake and the transport links, Kleinkaap the oak-tree garden and Cape-Dutch character, and InnJoy the family rooms with kitchenettes. They are small in number but easy to tell apart. Choose by base and mood, and confirm any spa treatments directly before you book.
ANEW Hotel Centurion Pretoria is described as a deluxe hotel with a boutique feel, centrally located on Centurion Lake with direct access to Centurion Mall. It has an outdoor pool, a spa and wellness centre and a restaurant with lake views, and it offers easy access to the Gautrain station. It is also listed as family-friendly and suited to honeymoons or golf holidays. I would choose it if you want a polished, well-located base that does not need a car, with the most facilities of the three. That combination of lake, spa and train makes it the easiest of the three to use for a short break.
Kleinkaap Boutique Hotel is the one with the most distinct character. It is in Centurion's Clubview district, with spacious air-conditioned rooms that have balconies, set within a large oak-tree garden, and its Cape-Dutch style shows in the listing highlights. Guests have a pool, spa and wellness facilities and a restaurant serving seasonal dishes, with free WiFi throughout. I would choose it for a quiet, characterful stay where the garden and the architecture matter more than being next to a mall or a station. The quiet district and the garden give it a settled, residential feel that the others lack.
InnJoy Boutique Hotel is the practical, family-minded choice. It offers comfortable air-conditioned family rooms, each with a private bathroom, a balcony and a kitchenette, and guests can enjoy spa facilities, a garden, a terrace and outdoor seating. A continental buffet breakfast is served, room service is available, and free private parking and WiFi are provided. The kitchenettes make it a good fit for longer stays or for a family that wants to prepare a few meals, and it is the most self-sufficient of the three. It is the only one of the three that lists a kitchenette, which is a real advantage for families.
Choosing among them comes down to what you value. For a lake, a spa centre and rail access, ANEW is the clear answer. For a garden, a distinct building and a quieter district, Kleinkaap is my pick. For space, a kitchenette and parking, InnJoy fits best. All three list spa facilities of some kind, though only ANEW describes a full spa and wellness centre, so I would confirm treatments directly if a spa is central to your plans. Whichever you pick, each listing gives enough detail to compare the three fairly before you book.
A traveller's takeFor a boutique stay with the best location, I would choose ANEW Hotel Centurion Pretoria, which sits on the lake with direct access to Centurion Mall and easy Gautrain access. For character, I would choose Kleinkaap Boutique Hotel, with its oak-tree garden and Cape-Dutch style, and for a family or a longer stay I would pick InnJoy Boutique Hotel, with its kitchenettes and parking.
