We discovered Melville Manor several years ago and we always go back when we are in Jo'burg. We are pleased to see that the quality is very consistent, rooms are always perfectly clean, quiet and comfortable, the lovely little garden full of flowers and the swimming pool a real plus after a hot day walking around. The location is very... More

Just stayed here for four nights, had friendly staff, nice clean rooms and a great complimentary breakfast. Would go back if I was in Joburg again for sure. 7th street nearby has some cool restaurants/bars but I would recommend having a car rental to get around in Joburg. It's too big/spread out and has very poor public transit. They graciously... More

Only stayed 1 night but very positive. Its in a side street so not much traffic noise and whether Melville is your suburb scene or not once you're inside it feels comfortable, safe and secluded. Service is friendly, breakfast is good - buffet style fruit, cereal, yogurt, DIY toast with jam, and then eggs mushroom tomato as you order them.... More

Thank you Manfred for the very detailed description of your stay here. You are very right about the rooms outside are ideal for concert goers, like yourself. Not only are we ideally located to the Stadium for concerts & matches, the rooms outside allow you easy late night access too. Very clad you enjoyed the Melville feel too. More

Thank you for a very warming review. We love the fact that even though we are a stones throw away from Melville's vibrant 7th street & within the bustling city of Joburg you found it a peaceful hideaway. We are also glad that the internet was good for you. We have now gone onto a free system so hopefully it... More

Lovely little B&B in a friendly suburb of Jo'burg. Good sized, clean rooms and a very pleasant garden with small pool. Tasty varied breakfast cooked by the fabulous Anna, who looks after the place (and the guests) so well-thank you!

We stayed here for 3 nights on our first trip to South Africa. It was a very suitable choice. Melville is a very pleasant and relaxed area. The guesthouse is clean and quiet and wonderfully welcoming. Staff excellent and accommodating. We were very pleased.

We are very glad Melville Manor Guest House was a great start to your journey. It can be equally relaxing to for the end to people's trips too. And yes, you are correct with your recommendation; the garden rooms No.6 & 7, are lovely. Thank you for the feedback and review. Happy Travels. More

The manor is .... lovely. From the moment your hostess (likely Anna) welcomes you, you are in a home away from home complete with pool, gardens, private facilities, laundry available, wifi and all within an embracing environment of comfort. Breakfast is pretty much a la carte (eggs, bacon, sausage, etc) as well as a full suite of continental items.
