The Melville Quarters consist of 2 separate cottages and a complete 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom house - all self-catering. They span over 2 interlinked properties next to each other. Any one of our accommodation options are ideal for larger groups, friends and families, business colleagues, visiting academics and tourists. It is a typical Melville house from the 1940's with wooden floors and high pressed steel ceilings. Our gardens are beautiful with barbeque facilities and open to all guests staying on the properties. Our small pool is also for all guests to enjoy. The Melville Quarters is walking distance from grocery stores, chemists, restaurants and many other interesting shops to browse through. We even have our own shopping mall about 1km from us,
I have been in the hospitality industry for more than 15 years. It still is such a privilege to meet and welcome new and interesting people every day of my life. Over and above our guest house, I also have a half day job at a law firm leaving my husband Pierre and housekeeper Patrick to lend a helping hand in the mornings if guests arrive.
Melville is one of Johannesburg's oldest neighborhoods and was always known for its bohemian character, lively nightlife and street cafes. After Apartheid was abolished, Melville became the go-to place for students and young professionals enjoying themselves at night in the famous 7th Street. It was even declared a few years ago as the "Coolest suburb in the World. The neighborhood of Melville It is not a grand place with glitz and glamour, but a cosmopolitan hub for people from all walks of life.
