We are situated in Melville, which is a small suburb of Johannesburg, the city center is about 15 minutes drive away. Our property is situated in a residential suburb, the area is quiet, no busy roads around us.
We have a passion for what we are doing, we will take care of you from the minute you arrive, from your airport transfer when you arrive, recommend and book your tours and transfers, escorting you to the local restaurants, and ending the day with a good night's rest in a comfortable bed with fine linens. As a seasoned journalist, David has a extensive knowledge of history. He can recommend tours and historical sites
The neighbourhood has an abundance of good restaurants, small shops and even has a small shopping centre created from shipping containers. More like a small village within Johannesburg.
