Two years ago, when I was living and working in Johannesburg for some eight months, Melville was one of THE suburbs of Johannesburg to be. Its bustling high street (7th Street between 1st and 5th Avenues) was full of restaurants, bars and little shops, attracting a bohémien crowd of often large size. Last month me and my boyfriend returned to... More

We stayed in Suite 2 and there is a small garden area but is has no comfortable furniture there for relaxing outside - so there is no real good outdoor space.

For anyone thinking of opening a guest house, I highly recommend that they go to the Space Guest House and learn from the very best. Space turned out to be a real gem. Ruby and Johann as hosts, treat you with a warmth and friendliness that makes you feel like family. They do everything within their power to ensure that... More

I had stayed at this guest house on a previous occasion which led me to select this guest house. I reserved a room online and received confirmation at the end of June that my guest suite had been booked. On arrival, I was told that I had been booked into a completely different guest house because a large group had... More

There are two buildings (one each side of 5th ave). The properties are fenced and locked (usual in JBurg). My suite had a separate bedroom and bathroom, and... More

The Space Guest House is in an excellent neighborhood in Joburg. It is very secure. At no time did I worry about security. We stayed in a suite which was very spacious, had a nice kitchenette with cutlery, fridge, and microwave. The bed was great, very cozy and comfortable. Breakfast is available at a near by French cafe which was... More

The Space House was great, roomy apartment style accommodation right on 7th St which was a great, safe street. Ruby was helpful and Melville and the Space House exceeded all our expectations. Breakfast was excellent too!!!
