Melville Gap Guest House

Melville Gap Guesthouse is a modern and welcoming guesthouse that has been renovated with Melville heritage of arts and culture in mind. Located on the edge of Melville, it has a bit of both worlds a quiet street as well as close proximity to all the sites Melville has to offer.

The guesthouse consists of the 4 stylishly renovated bedrooms in the Main house as well as two self-catering units in a separate building for those that prefer a bit more privacy as they have their own entrances.

The open-plan lounge and dining area can easily accommodate a small private or corporate function for up to 10-15 guests. In the evenings, it is a perfect place for a cosy evening watching a game on a large TV or reading a book.

Its close proximity to UJ and Wits universities makes it a popular place for academics and their families. Situated just off Beyers Naude, the guesthouse is easily reachable by the major highways.

Reviews

"Little Gem hidden at the edge of Melville"

14 March 2022

"The self catering unit at the Melville Gap was exactly what I was looking for when I am travelling for longer periods from home. You have the convenience of a B&B but with the independence of managing your own breakfast and you have more room when you need to work. Very well equipped kitchen suitable for any budding home chef."
"Great stay, will definitely stay here next time I'm in the area"
