Arum Place Guest House

Johannesburg


This 1935 villa on the outskirts of Melville is just the ticket for those seeking a stylish ‘home away from home’ experience. The eight rooms are different in design and are comfortably spread out on two floors; our choice is 'Touch of Grey', with its own terrace and entrance. In the garden you'll find a highly enticing pool area.

It's located on a pleasant street, though a decent walk to the restaurants and bars of 7th St.
