Nourishment
A nourishing diet is essential for academic success. That’s why Isa Residence collaborates with the renowned Feedem Group’s dietician to curate wholesome, healthy and homely nutritional meals.
Living in a hostel that provides meals can save students time and money, as they don’t have to worry about grocery shopping, cooking, and cleaning up after themselves. It also provides a sense of community and the opportunity to socialise with other students.
The dining hall and catering facilities for our students’ specific needs are provided and paid per meal for flexibility.
Students can pre-book up to three meals daily or enjoy Grab & Go meals.

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.

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.
