The Hillside House

Somewhere between the pages of a design magazine and a family home from childhood you’ll find The Hillside House. Patiently restored and imaginatively designed, this most special guest house offers the weary traveler a private yet homely retreat in the heart of vibrant Melville, the arts and culture hothouse of Johannesburg. The ten (10) airy rooms are styled simply yet elegantly, with heavenly beds and sumptuous en-suite bathrooms. Bubble bath is provided.

Downstairs is where you get a real sense of contemporary loft design meets old Johannesburg charm as you take breakfast in the dining room, overlooking our indigenous garden. We also offer other meals on request and can point you towards a myriad of experiences, from live music to fine dining. Or you could stay in for the night and enjoy high-speed wireless Internet and satellite television in your room.

Welcome to The Hillside House – you won’t believe the view from up here.
