    The room was exactly as pictured and really lovely. The area was not exactly as I had expected, but the night manager assured me it was safe and that there was no need to be concerned, I appreciated that, and slept well on a lovely bed.

Virginia Mothobi
motel Mi Pi CHi is a quirky and refreshing take on hospitality. Our motel is the perfect hideaway for contemporary, vibrant and urban nomads with a taste for easy living and original style.
The motel is the lovechild of Nicky Rofail, whose humour and poppy inventiveness gives the place its character and charm. The personalities all our wonderful staff members, will uplift yours the moment you walk through the doors.
Boasting easy drive-in, drive-out accessibility, it's an unexpected oasis on the other side of a rough, high brick wall on Melville's vibey Fourth Avenue.
