About The New Maroela
An Old Classic With a Story to Tell.
Since 1954, The New Maroela has been part of Pretoria North life — a place where people meet, stories grow, and strangers never stay strangers for long.
Our Story
More Than a Hotel. Part of Pretoria North.
The New Maroela is not just a place to sleep over. It is part of the local rhythm — a classic spot where workers, travellers, regulars, friends, and families all cross paths.
With roots going back to 1954, Maroela has kept that rare old-school feeling alive: warm hospitality, familiar faces, and the kind of atmosphere you cannot fake.
It is a place where you can stop in for a drink, enjoy a proper meal, stay the night, catch the game, try your luck, or simply soak up the local vibe.

Local Character
This is not a copy-and-paste hotel. It has roots, stories, and a personality of its own.
Family & Heart
Run With Character. Built Around People.
The New Maroela is family-owned and shaped by the kind of hands-on hospitality that keeps a place grounded. Under the ownership of the Karabis brothers, Lee and Theo, the spirit of the hotel remains rooted in people, community, and real local connection.
It is that mix of old-school charm and everyday life that gives Maroela its identity — a place where families gather, locals return, and new faces quickly feel familiar.
“Enter as strangers, leave as friends.”
