This was a business trip for me and my wife,we stayed 11 nights in March 2013. Beautiful house and gardens, room was lovely,. we ate out on a couple of occasions but I really liked the cooking at the guest house.. Sue is a great host and she makes sure that everybody is introduced at the table. Membership to Planet... More

A unique place with very nice staff and very beautiful rooms. Looks like a little paradise in the big city. Location is perfect, with nice restaurants and good shoppingcenters nearby. A perfect place to stay in Joburg.

We stayed in Melrose Place while visiting family in Johannesburg recently. We were fortunate to get the Rondavel with the thatched roof. The only negative is that being a Rondavel, there was a musty smell and the shower could use a bit of an agressive cleaning, but that won't stop us from going back there. The pool was right outside... More

Melrose beat my expectations by a yard! We stayed there only for two days at the tail end of our honeymoon, and given that we had already spent over a week travelling around SA, this hotel was just what we needed to relax and unwind before travelling back home. The reception was warm and our room very comfortable. They accorded... More

We had a lovely and very comfortable stay at Melrose Place. It is a great location...easy to get pretty much everywhere. The beds were SO comfortable. The size of the place was perfect also, its not tiny (so you don't feel like you are being watched all the time) but small enough to feel comfortable and enjoy the surroundings. It... More

Sue and the staff at Melrose Place Guest Lodge are fantastic! They went out of their way to ensure we were comfortable when visitng Jo'burg and when our baby was sick and made us feel at home. The accommodation is comfortable, clean and the grounds are beautiful and relaxing. We will definitely stay again when we return to SA!

I've just come back from a week in Johannesburgh for work. Melrose guest house felt like home from home! Sue (the owner) and her staff were extremely welcoming and friendly. The whole place had a relaxed, warm, cosy feel. So much nicer than staying in yet another hotel chain! My room was large, elegantly furnished and spotless. Breakfast and dinner... More
