Ditsong Kruger Museum

Very interesting to learn more about the Kruger House, their family and seeing the train he used to travel. The garden is very well maintained.

Compact, well-kept house museum that lands the late-19th-century story without dragging on. Rooms are furnished with care, the route flows logically, and the little details (letters, everyday objects) make it feel human. We took our time in the yard afterward and chatted with a helpful staff member who filled in a few gaps. Easy pairing with Church Square and Melrose House for a neat heritage loop.

We stepped off the street and straight into another century. The house smells faintly of polish and old wood, floors creak in the best way, and rooms are set as if someone just left for a meeting. A guide walked us through at an easy pace—study, bedroom, dining room—pointing out small details you’d miss on your own: worn armrests, family photos, a clock that still works when wound. It feels like a lived-in home first, a museum second. Out back we wandered the yard and took a minute by the verandah to let it all settle. You get everyday history here—the cups, the coats, the view down the garden—rather than just dates and names. We left with a clearer picture of the time and a few favourite corners we kept talking about on the drive home. Simple visit, nicely kept, and worth an unhurried hour.

Very interesting and informative, a time traveling experience, a glimpse in a past where technology was very basic and people had to deal with a very different mentality. I love the personal items displayed, objects of everyday life. The guide was incredible, kind, professional, warm and welcoming.

An amazing museum with an immaculately preserved house of Paul Kruger. Lots of rooms, not too many visitors, plentiful parking at the back. Staff is friendly and the entrance fee is very reasonable.

I wanted to visit the Kruger house museum. Unfortunately they already closed earlier than the open hours online said. So I just got the chance to see the house from outside. It is a historic manoir, not far from church square. The area felt rather safe.

A key piece of SA's history - worth a trip to Pretoria. You'll get some insight into the times and quirks of Kruger; also a great jumping off point to a tour of the modern realities of SA's capital city.

Very interesting place. Rooms are still in the way they were in the past. Old train used by mr Kruger is there as well. When we visited the house we were the only guests, that was very special.
