Casa Toscana Lodge Pretoria is one of Gauteng’s most extraordinary, multi-layered, and genuinely one-of-a-kind hospitality destinations — a 4-star Tuscan-style estate at 5 Darlington Road, Lynnwood Manor, Pretoria, that has earned the title of “the crown jewel of Pretoria hospitality.” Described by its owners as an “Island of Tuscany in the suburbs of the Gauteng Metropolitan”, Casa Toscana Lodge Pretoria is far more than a hotel — it is a complete destination combining Die Blou Hond Theater, the unforgettable LeSi Singing Waiter Restaurant, the Sensi Spa, a Tuscan wedding chapel with a dazzling spiral staircase, an underground wine cellar, a gazebo, and mature Tuscan gardens — all within 500 metres of the N1’s Lynnwood off-ramp and 3 kilometres from Menlyn shopping centre.

Die Blou Hond Theater — Intimate Live Entertainment

Casa Toscana Lodge Pretoria has been the proud owner of Die Blou Hond Theater since 2013 — one of Pretoria’s most beloved intimate live entertainment venues, previously established by the legendary Philip Moolman and Susan Coetzer before finding its permanent home at Casa Toscana.

“I had the pleasure of attending a show at Die Blou Hond recently — it was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. The atmosphere was electric, with a perfect blend of intimacy and energy that only a venue like this can offer.”

Die Blou Hond hosts top South African artists across comedy, music, theatre, and spoken word — in an intimate setting where every seat feels close to the stage:

• Comedy Madness — the theatre’s signature comedy format
• Open Mic Wednesdays — a beloved weekly community event
• Top South African artists booked regularly
• “Well-organised, buffet food was very tasty. A beautiful restaurant and theatre with great live entertainment almost every day.”
• “Sound was crisp, the vibe was on point — really upper class but affordable.”
