Agterplaas Guesthouse B&B

Great facilities, amazing breakfast, very sweet staff! Especially Phathu, very accommodating and personable. Plenty of Rooibos tea!!

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...

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!

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

Welcoming staff. Great breakfast.

All was really perfect !

Central location in Melville, garage for the car, and good price. Also enjoyed the generous breakfast. Shower head springled water all over the room and the safe wasn’t working (I did notify staff, but nothing happened).

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Agterplaas Guesthouse. Since I was travelling alone, I was looking for an accommodation that might allow me to meet people and have interesting conversations, and the guesthouse offered me exactly that experience! Melville is a very pretty and quiet part of Johannesburg. The neighbourhood felt safe to me, but I didn't walk around the area much since all the sites I wanted to visit were located in other parts of the city. However, like many places in Johannesburg, the guesthouse was highly gated and I was given multiple keys to navigate several doors and gates around the property. The rooms were quaint and beautiful. The hosts were always ready to attend to my requests (such as my needing an additional power adapter), and even graciously upgraded my room for free since they had a last-minute cancellation. I therefore got to enjoy a much larger room with a detached tub and large bay windows looking out into the balcony. The free breakfast included with my reservation was absolutely fantastic! I honestly don't think I've had a better hotel breakfast anywhere in the world. Rather than just the standard buffet fare one finds in most hotels, they have an à la carte menu and everything has a sumptuous local flavour. Their bobotie is to die for, and I made sure to take the recipe from them so I could try making it at home. They can also provide other meals upon request, but make sure to reserve them in advance. Finally, I would like to offer a special thanks to Agterplaas' owners and managers, Elroy and Annemie. They were both incredibly warm, friendly and inviting people who made me feel right at home. On one of my nights there, I had a long conversation with them and some other guests about South African history and culture, which was an especially enriching experience to me as a professional scholar. By the end of my stay, they felt like old family friends. Some of the room fixtures are old and whimsical, but that's part of the charm of the place. In any case, everything was perfectly functional and I had no problems.
