    overpriced taxis
    stale coffee

    Location requires reliance on taxis for dining and entertainment!!! The coffee in the room was stale and should be replaced!!! Taxi arrangements were overpriced compared to app services, making it inconvenient for budget travelers!!!

    garden setting
    cozy rooms

    perfect base for exploring melville's charming streets and parks

    the peaceful garden setting and clean, cozy rooms really enhanced my stay, and being just a short stroll away from funky cafes and the Melville Koppies made my weekend city strolls delightful.

    cheerful chefs
    garden setting
    local cafes
    transportation reliance
    limited nearby dining

    We enjoyed our stay, especially the breakfast made by cheerful chefs who made us feel at home. The guest house had a nice garden that we liked, and it was walking distance to local cafes and shops. We had a lovely harvest lunch nearby. One day, we explored Johannesburg with a local guide, and it opened up a whole new perspective on the city. I'm from Italy, and this experience added a unique touch to my travels.

    require taxi
    amenity updates

    The welcoming team truly made the experience standout, offering insightful recommendations that enriched my visit. I enjoyed relaxing by the charming pool area, soaking in the warm winter sun. However, the reliance on taxis for dining options can limit budget-conscious travelers. Additionally, some amenities could benefit from updates to enhance comfort. The location, while generally safe, did require planning for evening outings due to limited nearby options.

    short stay

    I stayed in the Queen Room for a night, and it was super cozy! The decor was artsy and gave a nice vibe. The bed was comfy, and the whole place felt very safe. The breakfast was a highlight, with great options made to order. Just wish there were a few more dining choices nearby, but the welcoming atmosphere made up for it.
