Malita and Silvio have a superb set up. The studio apartments are so well laid out. Each on is private with your own little garden paradise. We needed a place to recuperate after my husband”s knee operation and this was ideal as the apartments are all on the ground floor. The place is spotlessly clean with lovely linen and towels. The little treat bowl is so welcome too. We used the Weber in the garden.

My stay at Melville was bliss! Extremely clean, plenty of kitchen appliances, super comfy bed and hot water. Lo gave some great suggestions and was all around very helpful. Melville is also a cooool neighborhood, great thrift shopping, karaoke Kong is an absolute vibe and cute cafes. Just get Ubers at night rather than walking the streets, but that's what I was told for all of Joburg.

    Staff was very friendly, and the place was clean & secure. The place looked better in reality than in pictures. Even though the self-catering room I booked was not in the main villa, it was still very nice, spacious and comfortable. The pool was big and clean. Even though I didn't swim I still enjoyed the views while lounging there.

    Breakfast was fabulous, cooked to order with a super tasty fresh fruit bowl, fresh fig jam (made by our host Eddie) and fresh sourdough bread. Got us off to a great start. Location very convenient and villa itself was well designed and decorated (highlighting host Emma's creative flair) and exceeded our expectations in being able to both work there and spend time relaxing in its stunning grounds. Our hosts were both welcoming and informative and the dinner we had with them was most enjoyable.
