Description

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 traveller a private yet homely retreat in the heart of vibrant Melville, the arts and culture hothouse of Johannesburg. The four airy rooms are styled simply yet elegantly, with heavenly beds and sumptuous en-suite bathrooms. Bubble bath is provided.Welcome to The Hillside House - you won¿t believe the view from up here. As the name suggests The Hillside House is a double storey dwelling situated on a hill at the highest point in Melville, with stunning views across Melville and to the north as far as Sandton and on a clear day Pretoria. The garden is unusual in the sense that it is planted with mainly indigenous plants, except for the stunning Jacaranda tree which provides shade for most of the year.
