Please come ready with all the cooking utensils, pots, pans, crockery and cutlery that you will need to bring out the Master Chef in you! But please note, only induction pots and pans will work!
You decide what you eat, when you eat and what you spend. Cook for one, cook with friends, and make yourself right at home.

Wow! What a journey! Being at Isa Dameskoshuis since 2021 has taught me not only to be a friend but to also be a leader. The ladies always ask me how I am able to juggle being a law student and being the Primaria at the same time. Honestly, it is only by the Grace of God! It has given me so much joy to not only be a leader to the ladies, but to be a friend as well.
Isa Dameskoshuis, I am eternally grateful for you! For in you, love and sisterhood are birthed and grows.

Isa Dameskoshuis has given me the opportunity to experience hostel life. I have grown into a strong, independent woman since my journey started at Isa.
It is truly a place where you make friends for life. You get the chance the interact with different people and you develop as a person. Isa will always have a place in my heart.

Quote: no matter the situation get up, dress up and always show up.
If your DREAMS don’t scare you, they not big enough, dream BIG don’t ever underestimate yourselves! …
The hostel has given me the opportunity to open up to people a lot because I was very introverted, hostel is honestly that home away from home besides the cliché. Helps a lot of us to grow and fine ourselves.

Moving away from home was not easy, but living in one of the best hostels in Pretoria made it possible. Not only is it a place I can’t wait to go to after a long day, but help & support is only as far as next door. You don’t have to be concerned about your safety as soon as you enter the gates.
During my time here, I crossed paths with remarkable people, made unforgettable memories, and learned valuable lessons. Isa Dameskoshuis deserves to be placed on a high pedestal. I will forever treasure how lucky I am to call it my home and leave one day with only good stories to tell.
