Listing description Nestled on a slight elevation on the foot of the famous Melville Koppies heritage site and nature reserve (access 30 meters from door), light coloured finishings, essentials for a few days stay. Private bathroom with shower, private access. Perfect for a traveller looking to explore Melville's night spots and restaurants, shops and breakfast bars on foot or historical and tourist sites in Johannesburg (with Uber). Close to Parkhurst, Rosebank, Gautrain. Convenient, safe and inexpensive
Jaco-rien and Bartho are happy to help and available anytime to make you most welcome at their little home :)
Melville is well known for its night life and arty surrounds. Setting the trend where old school meets modern, great value for money with its various entertainment venues restaurants and shops. A must for any traveller passing through Joburg, all reachable on foot.
