Guest Reviews
- Rózsa (8/5): -
- Patrick (10/5): - Very spacious apartment in a great location. Hosts were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast we fantastic!
- Mark Gyamfi (10/5): -
- Christopher (10/5): -
- Claire (10/5): un endroit superbe où l'on se sent en famille et bien accueilli - La convivialité et la gentillesse des personnes
Le lieu tranquille et élégant
Le petit déjeuner très copieux et varié avec beaucoup de choix
- GEORGIE (10/5): -
- Patricia Stuiver (8/5): -
- dominique (10/5): La vraie pension de famille comme on aime - La gentillesse des propriétaires et de l’équipe, leur disponibilité,
le calme des lieux et pourtant si proche de la ville, et le petit déjeuner extraordinaire ou tout est fait maison.
La maison au charme désuet ainsi que la décoration de la salle de petit déjeuner façon brocante.
- veera (10/5): -
- Mary (6/5): Below average - Our checkin experience was wonderful and the young man assisting was amazing. Very slow communication. Asked about a change in requirements and got back to us too late to be relevant. Hefty charge to keep one of two rooms booked for check out at 6.30 pm, which due to very low occupancy should have complimentary. Would not stay here again.
- Katerina (10/5): 100% recomended - Great staff, lovely room and the brekkie was a nice bonus. Perfect location in the centre of Melville. Everything was exceptional.
- Holger (9/5): - Alles bestens, allerdings war Zimmer mit Balkon gebucht, welches beim Check in leider nicht zur Verfügung stand. Die Terrasse war aber eine gute Alternative...
- Tlholo (7/5): - They were able to quickly wrap a take away for me as I was running late and didn't have time to sit down for my breakfast!!
- Diana Vieira (10/5): - O lugar é super aconchegante e a decoração é linda. Os anfitriões foram super atenciosos e receptivos. Nota 10!
- Helder Manuel (5/5): - Their breakfast and especially hooked made bread The aircon didn't work, kept tripping the switch, were given a portable heater, also turned off and wouldn't back turn on. Nice extra blankets. Door left opened after the room was made...
- Justyna (10/5): - Lovely place, beautifull garden and great localization. You can relax in the middle of the garden. Communication is great.
- Ivie (10/5): Best stay so far in Joburg - The body lotion, the staff, the location nice and central, and the breakfast. Cozy and neat place Nothing, i could even run my 4 miles here safe and peacefully. It sure was steep here en there tho
- Darwish (7/5): -
- Gary (7/5): A good place to stay for Melville, but quite dated. - The property is in a good location for Melville. There are a good selection of bars, restaurants and convenience stores within a 5 minute walk.
The staff we encountered were very helpful at both check in and check out. Unfortunately due to planned excursions we didn’t make breakfast. Correspondence via email was quick. Our room was large and bed comfortable. The property is dated. Our room whilst large and comfortable felt dark and there are limited lights available. I hadn’t realised how cold Johannesburg would be and our room was cold to the point of the bedding feeling damp. We did use the blanket that was provided which helped. There was an AC unit which I presumed doubles up as a heater but we couldn’t get it to work, either the batteries were dead or it was broken. I didn’t report this as it was at night when we got back it was too late.
The shower in the bathroom whilst powerful sprays water all over the floor which is rather annoying.
- Martin (8/5): Très bon emplacement pour une ou plusieurs nuits - La proximité avec la 7th avenue qui bouge le soir Le bruit tôt le matin lié au voisinage
- Paul (10/5): wonderful location and staff. - Everything nothing
- le GALL (9/5): -
- Nelisa (10/5): Very pleasant - Honestly everything. It’s beautiful and clean. The owner goes out of his way to always assist with anything. Will definitely book again. Nothing to complain about
- Matimba (8/5): The stay was excellent, comfortable and clean.. I would visit again and highly recommend to friends. - The breakfast was delicious and filling. The staff and hosts were pleasant N/A
- J-C Chaussat (6/5): - Quartier tranquille est bien placé. La douche avait des cheveux coincés dans la bonde de fond de la douche que nous avons fait enlever. Plus tard nous avons découvert des traces de sang sur le mur près des toilettes au niveau du rouleau de papier...
- Jacques (9/5): -
- Elham (8/5): -
- Abigail (10/5): Very happy days, 3 nights was too short! - Excellent location walking distance to Melville (which is a wonderful choice for a Joburg stay), and with a great view of the Koppies. The property has beautiful vegetation. We loved our upstairs rooms and spent several hours enjoying our balcony breeze and views. Comfortable rooms with style/character. The staff was also friendly and helpful. Breakfast was delicious! Can't think of anything!
- Reto (10/5): Top. Super nice guesthouse with really nice rooms, super tasty breakfast and very friendly personal for small money. - A really fantastic guesthouse.
One of the best places I was accommodated so far.
Top price/performance ratio with super tasty breakfast.
Just few minutes above the guesthouse is the “party” place of Melville with lots of Bars and Restaurants.
The owner and its family are very friendly.
- Ellen (10/5): - Lovely stay at Agterplaas. Good communication beforehand. Easy check in with all the information. Private parking available, security at property great, delicious breakfast. Good place to stay in Melville. No hot water once the sun had gone down. Staff were very apologetic and it wasn't a problem, but good to know in advance.
- Nathalie (9/5): Une adresse agréable pour séjourner à Johannesburg - Si vous aimez l’ancien, c’est parfait, sinon passez votre chemin. C’est une maison très ancienne, avec parquet et meubles d’époque joliment décorée.
Le personnel est très accueillant, ils nous ont permis de laisser nos bagages pendant 2 jours.
Le petit déjeuner est excellent.
Il est bien situé car son accès privé la la 7 street est rassurant. Rien
- Nathalie (10/5): -
- Sim (10/5): -
- Anoek (10/5): Top! - Gastvrijheid
- Caspar (9/5): - Schönes Guesthouse mit altmodischem Charme. Sehr nettes Personal und ausgezeichnetes Frühstück. Schön gelegen mit tollem Ausblick und gut geeignet für Ausflüge nach Melville.
- Mpho (8/5): -
- Neil (9/5): Beautiful location, quite central to all relevant areas of Johannesburg, but quiet at the same time. - Agterplaas is rightfully famous for its breakfast, with several choices, including home made freshly baked bread, and a lot of other freshly prepared choices. Not much, except that sometimes, this time only one day during my ten day stay, the water was not running, due to problems at the municipality.
- Alan (10/5): - DIe Agterplaas is - still - a great place to spend a night or more. The staff are warm, friendly and helpful and all the features are good. And it's extremely economical.
- Arjen (9/5): - Great place in the green part of Johannesburg, and a great stay made possible by the personnel. Also an excellent breakfast. Highly recommended!
- Emilly Vanessa (10/5): Tudo perfeito ❤️ - Muito espaçosa
- NamNam 4 My TumTum (8/5): -
- roland (9/5): - Veiligheid, nabijheid van enkele restaurants en bars waar je veilig te voet heen kunt 's avonds..
Goed ontbijt, goed bed Niks
- Marco (9/5): -
- Héloïse (10/5): - I absolutely loved everything about this place! The room was cozy and comfortable, and the decor was beautiful. The hosts were incredibly kind and even let me have a late check-out, which I really appreciated.
- Peter (10/5): -
- Letticia (9/5): My stay was good and the breakfast was perfect - The location was perfect and the view was to die for I had to wait for the cleaning to be done and managed to enter the room after 15:00
- Jeffery (10/5): Amazing charm and antique decor - Loved all the antique furniture and collectibles on the walls. It added to the wonderful vibe. Big room, fantastic breakfast, good location, terrific staff. Sheets were poly unnatural something and every time we rolled over, we were electrocuted by a 1000 little static bolts of lightning

- Patrick (8/5): -

- Payonne (10/5): -
- Arjen (9/5): Excellence in the guesthouse realm... - Excellence in the guesthouse realm. The personal touch, including the amazing breakfast is something you do not experience in a hotel chain. Beside the great personel and the picturesque location in Melville.
- Frank Willem (9/5): - Vriendelijke mensen Niets
- Robert (10/5): Lovely first night back in South Africa - Having had a long and tiring journey, we were so looking forward to getting to Agterplaas. We were welcomed by a very charming and helpful young man and were very comfortable in our rooms. All the staff were wonderful and we had a fabulous breakfast in a lovely farmhouse style dining room. Our rooms were a bit above the main house and we enjoyed sitting on the stoep in the evening looking at koppie across the valley. This is a charming place with great people in a lovely area. Strongly recommended.
- Renate (8/5): I was pleasantly surprised at warmth and loving atmosphere. Wonderful attention to details. - Wonderful breakfast and loving staff. It was a joyful experience.
I was upgraded free of charge. Nothing
- Anja (9/5): Sehr charmante Unterkunft in einer schönen, sicheren Gegend von Johannesburg - Agterplaas guesthouse ist eine sehr gut gelegene Unterkunft im quirligen Melville. Die Zimmer sind auf mehrere Gebäude im schön angelegten Hanggrundstück verteilt. Obwohl die Einrichtung etwas in die Jahre gekommen ist, sind die Zimmer charmant und sehr ruhig - wir haben wunderbar geschlafen. Das Frühstück war sehr reichhaltig mit viel Auswahl und von guter Qualität. Die Gastgeber waren extrem hilfsbereit und haben uns viele Tipps für Johannesburg gegeben. Nichts
- Frederic (10/5): -
- Louise (10/5): Charm nestled into Melville - Lovely breakfast, freshly baked bread. Friendly and welcoming hosts.
- Brigita (10/5): - Very nice first stop on our further tour to Botswana. Kind owners, helped a lot with the bumpy situations we had at the beginning of our trip - delayed baggage etc. Super nice and cozy breakfast room and tasty break fast.
- Sigrid (5/5): Unterkunft macht einen guten Eindruck, netter Gastgeber - Wir hatten eine zweite Übernachtung gebucht, die wir wegen Änderung unserer Pläne storniert haben. Der Gastgeber hat einer kostenlosen Stornierung zugestimmt. Das eigentliche Gästehaus hat auf uns einen guten Eindruck gemacht, als wir morgens zum Frühstück dort waren ... Dass wir wegen Überbuchung einfach in eine benachbarte Unterkunft verlegt wurden, die weder gelüftet noch beheizt war, so dass ein feucht-kühles Klima in dieser Wohnung geherrscht hat, in dem wir uns nicht wohl gefühlt haben.
- Martina (10/5): Es war ein super Ort um anzukommen mit extrem freundlichen und hilfsbereiten Gastgebern hilfsbereiten und - Ein charmantes Haus in einem schönen Garten in einer sicheren und trotzdem lebendigen Nachbarschaft
- aerogistics (8/5): -
- Birgit (10/5): Wir kommen gerne wieder - Super tolle Unterkunft im bunten und sicheren Stadtteil Melville. Sehr herzliches und aufmerksames Team. Mega bequemes Bett und sicherer Parkplatz. Wunderschöner Garten. Leckeres Frühstück. Uns hat alles gefallen. Nichts
- Khutso Choma (10/5): - Perfect for solo travellers or friends exploring Johannesburg. Serene and close to the buzzing social life of Melville
- Janet (10/5): -
- Irene (8/5): -
- Elena (10/5): Quartiere residenziale e tranquillo a poca distanza da ristoranti e locali - Quartiere residenziale a pochi metri da strada con ristoranti e locali . L’accoglienza , pulizia, colazione .
- Tshepo1984 (7/5): -
- Van Heerden (10/5): -
- Gérard (7/5): Une adresse possible si on tient vraiment à passer une nuit à Johannesburg - La gentillesse du personnel. La propriétaire nous a autorisé à garder notre chambre jusqu’à l’heure du départ en fin d’après-midi
Chambre spacieuse On a eu un sentiment d’appartement non terminé : Il n’y a aucun rideau aux fenêtres et sur la porte vitrée ce qui nuit à l’intimité et perturbe le sommeil
La chambre est équipée d’un coin cuisine mais il n’y a aucune vaisselle
Il y a des fuites dans les sanitaires
Le quartier à proximité est présenté comme animé et convivial, ce qui est le cas si on se contente de boire des cocktails dans la très courte rue (une centaine de mètres à peine) qui jouxte l’hôtel : à part des bars il n’y a ni commerces dignes de ce nom ni rien d’intéressant à visiter
- RAFAŁ (8/5): -
- Germina (6/5): - The bed was not really comfortable.
The air conditioning was not operational , no remote available

- Tsepo Ya Rona (10/5): Lovely ❤️ - Everything Nothing.
- Sandra (10/5): - The friendliness of the host.
- Meyer (10/5): Agreable et simplement du plaisir - Petit-dejeuner tres bon
Decor agreable Le douche
- Madelize (9/5): -
- Pierre (9/5): Great guesthouse with welcoming staff - A very friendly guesthouse in the bohemian district of Melville. It is close to lively 7th street where you can walk safely. The breakfast was plentiful and tasty, served by an enthusiastic staff. The place to stay while in Johannesburg.
- Allane (10/5): Lieu et emplacement idéal ! - Hôtes très aimables et à l'écoute. Notre séjour s'est parfaitement passé. Emplacement incroyable et très safe. Nous recommandons. Rien
- Luca (8/5): Good stay with great breakfast options, but facilities could be improved - Fantastic traditional Afrikaner breakfast, beds were comfortable, nice aesthetic to the place. The staff were all friendly and there was a private alleyway that gave access to 7th street - where we could find any restaurants we needed. The hot water was unreliable - the first night the hot water barely came through such that the water was only lukewarm, the second night the hot water worked, but would fluctuate between warm and to hot, without turning any taps. We also requested twin beds but they gave us a double saying they missed this request and would split the beds the following day - which they then didn’t do, apparently due to the cleaning staff missing the message to do so. The fridge was also very noisy which made it hard to sleep.

- Myrthe (10/5): Heel gastvrij en fijne plek! - Geweldig hoe gastvrij we zijn ontvangen, de eigenaren denken in alles met je mee, zou het iedereen aanraden hier te verblijven. Niks
- laurence (6/5): -
- Abdulatif (10/5): مكان سكن رائع في منطقة هادئة - أعجبني فيه الموقع حيث يتضمن إطلالة رائعة وقت الشروق وكذلك توفر الإنترنت الجيد، ولا أنسى الترحيب والبشاشة في كل أفراد الطاقم يُشعرونك بأنك ضمن أفراد العائلة خاصةً اللطيفة "هابينيس"
شكراً للمضيفين Elroy & Annemie لاشي
- Christopher Simon (10/5): Great place, great food, wonderful people. -
- Ingrid (7/5): Very enjoyable - Wonderful comfy bed the people were very lovely and attentive with strong safety features and so close to the restaurants and bars The amount of stairs to carry up your luggage and to enter the guest house and at the back to exit the guest house to access the street where all the action was
- Bob (8/5): Classic and good guesthouse in Johannesburg in a quit neigbourhood - Breakfast is very good. The staff is very friendly. SWe stayed regularly in Agterplaas in the past The room we had had no view, the window was very smal. That was a pity and a bit dissappointing. We stayed only 3 nights and were out in town most of the day so this was not a big thing.
Melville unfortunately has lost a lot of its original vibe and buzz, many shops and bars in 7th Street were closed and to let.
- Kal (10/5): Exceptional -
- Suyoung (9/5): Great friendly staff with very tasty breakfast .. One of the best scrambled eggs I’ve had ever. Even though 7th st area - Quiet residential area Limited restaurants in the area
- Houliston (10/5): Authentic experience of old Melville culture - Warm welcome. Hosts went out of their way to make me feel at home. Very peaceful, lots of character. Close to amenities.
- Zakeyo (10/5): Exceptional - The staff friendliness as well as well maintained facilities that were clean and tidy. The TV not working was a set back but l overlooked that because l had free WiFi.
- Bea (8/5): Very good -
- Josef (10/5): Exceptional - The staff was excellent!
- David (9/5): We shall surely return! - Fantastic breakfast - very good boerewors, very good vetkoek very little
- Linda (9/5): Superb - Welcoming staff. Great breakfast.
- Linda (9/5): Good value - Helpful staff. Traditionally decorated room with all modern facilities. Well located for sightseeing in Johannesburg in a fairly pleasant area close to restaurants.
