Melville International Backpackers

 
 

Description

Melville International Backpackers is an ideal base from which to explore the vibrant heart of gold in Africa, Johannesburg. We are conveniently located within easy walking distance to the famous 7th Avenue with its fantastic eateries, clubs, galleries, bookshops, off beat clothes shops, and music bars.

Melville is unique in its "vibe" as it reflects the surrounding media, arts, and student communities in this part of Johannesburg. Located close to two leading universities, guests can also walk to the Campus Square Shopping Centre, laundromats, fast food outlets, clubs and pubs at night, and side walk cafes by day.

Gold Reef City, the Apartheid Museum, Constitution Hill, Civic Theatre, Market Theatre, O.R. Tambo International and Lanseria airports, the Cradle of Mankind, Soccer City, and Ellis Park and Wanderers sports grounds are all just a quick taxi ride away from Melville International Backpackers.

We offer comfortable new beds, showers, a swimming pool, and a range of accommodation options - from dorm bunks to en-suite rooms. Broadband Internet is available, and major bus and taxi routes are within close proximity.

Your ever friendly and helpful host, Peter, has run backpacking establishments and lodges for many years and offers his wealth of insight to help make your stay in Johannesburg worthwhile, safe, fun, and memorable.

Check-In  01:00 PM   Check-Out 10:00 AM

Location: Melville is a very central and safe area in Johannesburg, with a vibrant night life just two blocks away.
