Load shedding (no power) and no water disturbs the rhythm of the day for the citizens and our guests in Melville. Guests of our B&B must be aware of the fact that taking a shower is not always possible and that power and WiFi is not always available. Due to load shedding we are not always available for bookings as we cannot guarantee our service and hospitality.
BE MY GUEST - BED BOOK & BREAKFAST is a Boutique B&B and is situated in a quiet street in the heart of Melville - Johannesburg. The quietness of the area and bird life in our lush and green garden easily helps visitors to forget that they are in the middle of South Africa’s busiest city. The attractions on 7th street like boutiques, bookshops, coffee & Wine bars and restaurants are just a easy and safe walk away. We are close to the University of Johannesburg, SABC TV studios & Media Park, Millpark Hospital, Meldene Clinic and Wits University. Nature (Melville Koppies) is around the corner.
BE MY GUEST – BED BOOK & BREAKFAST is in the process of establishing 2 more rooms and also a cottage for family use or long term rental. We are sure you will enjoy your stay with us. Be My Guest will be your home far away from home.
As we love reading and as we love many of the Southern African writers especially our bedrooms are named after African writers and here you will find some books to read from these writers.
In 2007 Anke and Maarten decided to follow their dream and change the landscape of their future when they moved from the Netherlands to South Africa. We love South Africa, we love our City of Gold Jo’burg.
Books and reading are an important part of our life and therefore also of our Bed, Book & Breakfast. We would like to share our passion with you. You will find books everywhere and they can help our guests to relax.
Melville is a lovely, safe and clean neighbourhood located in the Northern Suburbs of Johannesburg. The arty and student-like reputation of the area is a reflection of the community.
It’s marvellous to end each adventurous day in beautiful Jozi with a good book in a really nice B&B. Maarten & Anke are the most friendly hosts, happy to share their tips and a good laugh with you. Go there!

Loveley guesthouse with very welcoming and caring owners Anke and Maarten. From the moment the door opens, you feel at home. Nicely furnished rooms and a wonderful garden with swimming pool. The breakfast is very extensive and there is something for everyone. A haven of peace in trendy Melville with its beautiful restaurants and pubs. We will definitely go back.
