Melvin Residence Guest House Arcadia
Combining old world charm with modern luxury; Melvin Residence Guest House is ideally located for doing business in Pretoria, but that is just part of this perfectly preserved Victorian manor houses charm. A warm welcome awaits visitors who wish to experience the glamour of yesteryear, but who also do not want to compromise on modern amenities.
The main residence
The main residence was originally built in 1890. It has a Victorian style and is one of a few houses from this period still in existence. The building has undergone a number of restorations, but the character of the house has not changed. Soaring moulded ceilings, period wooden doors and windows, stained glass and antique furniture give the main residences interior a warm glow.

We offer four spacious double rooms and two single rooms all of which have en-suite facilities. The double rooms have showers and the single rooms have baths. All rooms are air-conditioned and have outside doors to give the guest as much comfort and privacy as possible.
