Property info

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 newly renovated, 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. It’s close proximity to UJ and Wits universities makes it a popular place for academics and their families. Situated just off Bayers Naude, the guesthouse is easily reachable by the major highways.
