Hotel Agterplaas Guesthouse (Johannesburg, South Africa)

About Agterplaas Guesthouse

Location Agterplaas is situated at the foot of the historical Melville Koppies. We are proud to offer a comfortable, relaxed guesthouse where you can unwind and feel at home. The view, tranquillity and bird life easily lull visitors into forgetting they're in South Africa's busiest city. Yet the attractions of the Melville boutiques, bookshops, coffee bars, restaurants and nightclubs are just a stone's throw away. Park your car in our free lock-up garage and walk to dinner in bustling, quirky Melville - one of the few places in Joburg you can stroll around at night! Agterplaas is very centrally located: approximately 3 kilometres from Johannesburg University, and 7 kilometres from Wits, close to Helen Joseph- and Milpark-hospitals, Mediapark and the SABC, with a bus route close by. We are 1.8 km from Parkview Golf Club and within 5km of Johannesburg Zoo and the South African Museum of Military History. The Johannesburg Botanical Garden and Emmarentia Dam are also within 3km. Airport and Gautrain transfers are available on request at competitive prices, or you can catch the Melville E-Tuk Tuk for short trips – even as far as the Rosebank Gautrain Station. Room Amenities Our rooms are all en suite (bath or shower) with free wifi, backed up by our 24-hour front desk. Each of the individually decorated rooms also has its own private outdoor area. We offer complimentary cool drinks and coffee/tea facilities, free newspapers and our rooms are equipped with heaters and fans. All rooms come standard with refrigerators and flat-screen TVs with a bouquet of DSTV channels. Our delicious full breakfast is offered free to all guests, and is one of the reasons our guests return again and again - particularly for our fresh-baked bread. Property Features For your convenience, we offer a meeting room, dry cleaning and laundry facilities and free lock-up garages. We are very happy to help you with any tour / ticket assistance, and we have a wealth of local knowledge. Our motto is old-world tranquility and affordable comfort, and our staff are truly amazing. They have the best attitude and they love going the extra mile. We are disabled-friendly, with one of our units and a kitchen facility geared specifically to accommodate guests in wheelchairs. Our tariffs for groups and also for longer stays are always negotiable, depending on availability. A special discount applies to educational institutions.
