NadiaRating, 5 stars2 months ago

If you are lucky to book at Wild Jasmine, get ready for a wholesome, cozy stay. Pearl is one of the kindest souls and has built a strong, loving community in Melville / Joburg in general. She recommended some amazing restaurants and events. We had a Sunday braai together on the weekend and she hosted an enriching supper club that I attended. You really feel a family vibe staying here. Host is responsive and I was so happy to learn that a weekly cleaning was included in my stay! Highly recommend, great location right near 7th avenue.
