Books and reading are an important part of our life and therefore also of our Bed, Book & Breakfast. We like to share our passion with you. You will find books everywhere and they can help our guests to relax after a busy day and enjoy the quietness of Melville. That’s also the reason why we gave names of important and interesting African writers to our rooms. 

We are also planning interesting events about books, writers and reading in collaboration with bookshops in the area. As you will notice in our B&B, Books are an important part of our life and our interior. The room where you will stay for the night is named after an African writer. Ingrid Jonker; Nadine Gordymer and Chinua Achebe. The books that you will find at the B&B are there for your convenience and you are allowed to take books to read in our lovely garden, next to the fire place during wintertime, or before going to bed. 

We also invite you to share your own books with us and maybe leave books behind or swop them for books on our shelves. We also have books for sale and the proceeds will go to Hotel Hope Ministeries in Melville and Nkosi's Haven in Vereeniging Johannesburg South.
