Loved the house.It is beautiful, well looked after
Excellent heritage site. Learnt a bit of history that I previously didn't know about. Quite an experience to get a glimpse of how they lived at that period in time. I recommend visiting even though the curators could do a little better in maintaining the place and ensuring nothing anachronic is left lying about (e.g. network LAN cabling, modern plumbing in the main house etc.)
Uncle Paul’s house, situated near the Pretoria downtown has not really much to offer but anyway is fine to visit. The house itself remains nicely prepared, you can see all his rooms and forniture, but despide the house, the rest is not really interesting. The price was excessive in my opinion.
It was my first time there and I enjoyed it very much. Everything are well looked after. We wanted to visit the church but it was closed on that day. Definitely a must visit!
Really interesting to see how Pres. KRUGER lived and how many people around the world rallied to his cause.
Museum has wonderful collection of artifacts from Kruger's life in South Africa. Sadly, entire estate has been allowed to deteriorate, badly in some areas. Serious deferred maintenance must be attended to soon, or damage will be irrepairable. Unfortunate that such an historically important residence has been allowed to fall into such poor condition.
The institution is a house museum that commemorates the history of Paul Kruger. Through the touring of the house, and the related history of that period; one can learn about the lives of the Afrikaners, their interaction with Natives/Africans, colonial history, history of conflict such as the Anglo-Boer war. International relations etc. There are also some hidden histories that could be learnt by visiting the house. I would recommend it to anyone interested in heritage.
