Great place for small, intimate meetings!

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 15 Jan 2019
I landed at 1am and the guard at the guesthouse welcomed me. He was very friendly. My room was great too! The owner was absolutely lovely, and breakfast and lunch were superb! The desserts - gosh! Can't be better! Generally a really nice place to stay and have meetings for a small group. I loved the fact that there was an entrance that took you directly to Melville - the hippie space that I really liked! I would highly recommend this place to anyone!
Date of stay: September 2018
Room Tip: Rooms away from the main entrance are probably quieter.
Trip type: Travelled on business

      Awesome place. Stayed there over the weekend during a difficult time for our family. The manager went over and above to accommodate our large group. We really appreciate her extra efforts when our arrangements changed at the last moment. Your are a lovely person Lizelle.

      Stayed over for a quick trip to Johannesburg absolutely loved it! Rooms a big and spacious with excellent beds, breakfast is massive and really tasty and the owner and staff is always willing to assist where needed.
      Melville it self is also a great location with loads of great restaurants and pubs if that is your thing

      I could rave about the 7th Street Guesthouse! Our rooms were large and very comfortable and well thought out. The gardens and walkways are kept perfect - everything trimmed and manicured and washed each day. We had breakfast while sitting at a table outside though we could also have sat in the lovely dining room. The Guesthouse is in the Melville Area, perhaps the nicest neighborhood in Johannesburgh. Both morning there I went for a good run and saw absolutely gorgeous homes. The Guesthouse is in walking distance of several shops and restaurants and a nice bookstore. Liz and her daughter went way out of their way to ensure that we had a perfect stay. This is a quiet retreat from the bustle of the city and a place I hope to share with friends in the future.

      Room tip: I only saw our rooms but imagine that every room is a good one.

      This is the fourth time I have returned to this guest house which I have used as a base in Johannesburg. My overriding concern as a tourist from Europe is security. The house itself is secure with all night staff. There is a special alley-way which is locked which leads to the part of 7th strreet which houses the bars and restaurants. Guests are given a key to this passageway which makes the amenities of 7th street accessible by walking even at night. The 7th street area is a relaxed and mixed area epitomising the best of the 'rainbow nation'.
      The guest house is family run. Eunika has now passed the management on to her daughter Lizelle. However all the personal touches still remain. Lizelle allowed me to leave most of my luggage at the guest house while i did a side trip- not in a general store room but in one of her own bedrooms . She also arranged taxis for me. Her staff too are friendly and helpful.
      For me the good wifi connection was important as was the TV showing all sports in my bedroom.
      7th street Melville is a good friendly base from which to explore Johannesburg. There is a driver attached to the guest house for longer trips but shorter trips can be arranged with metered taxes. I used the Gautrain from Rosebank station which makes the airport, Sandton and even Pretoria easily available. I particularly enjoyed my visits to Liliesleaf farm and the diamond mine at Cullinan near Pretoria.

      Room tip: I wanted to do some studying so Lizelle offered me a room which had direct access to a table in an undisturbed area outside.

      Eunika is the most perfect Host. The Breakfast is delicious and the terrace allowes you to get some work done in the fresh air!
      The Guest house is within walking distance of the popular 7th street with a very active night life!
