Family-friendly vacation rentals in Melville

A great location, the building is directly connected to the shopping center surrounding Mandela Square. A very safe location. Plenty of shops and restuarants nearby. The room was very spacious and worth the price. The touristy hop-on, hop-off Red Bus picks up you up just around the corner from this building.

Simon's place was all we needed, lovely and secure apartment within the vibey Rosebank area. Very convenient with lots to do within a short walk. Simon was a very responsive host as well, I would recommend this stay to anyone looking for a hustle free stay.

Bende’s apartment is a gem for those traveling for business and pleasure. The place is clean, neat and has alll the amenities one needs to have a pleasant stay. I had a great time and I will surely be back.

The pictures don't do it justice, it's a beautiful apartment

This was our first time in Johannesburg and Anita helped it to be very special. She was a great hostess. Anytime we needed anything she had no problem assisting us. She gave us information about sightseeing in the area, restaurants, great farmer's markets and much more. My sister was visiting from Rome, Italy and Anita speaks Italian, so that was a special surprise for my sister. Anita also has a basketball hoop, which my 10 year old granddaughter loved, she also gave her games and drawing supplies. My granddaughter had a great time. We highly recommend Anita's beautiful cottage and great hospitality, and would surely book it again.

I was able to check in early and check out late so that was awesome! The host was very responsive and accommodating. The place was nice. The building is pretty secure for the most part (there’s 24 hour security/ reception) and has a gym, pool and restaurant. I liked its proximity to the mall and other attractions in sandton. Would definitely recommend this unit if you’re looking for a place to stay in sandton/johannesburg!

Stewart met us upon our arrival and went out of his way to make us feel right at home. We were left to enjoy the privacy and peacefulness of the beautiful quaint cottage and the animals that lived on the premises. It was absolutely perfect for what we needed for our 2 day stay in Johannesburg, with the location also perfect as everything we needed was within a 10 minute drive. We will definitely return!

Sally is a lovelyhost who made us feel welcome and at home. She is prompt with her communication. Their dog Coby is a wonderful host as well 😄

We felt right at home during our stay - the space was warm, beautifully set up, and had everything we needed, including more than enough blankets to keep us cozy. The hosts were incredibly responsive and made everything so seamless from start to finish. Thank you for such a lovely experience - we’d definitely love to return!

Alex was a very friendly, helpful host! The cottage is in a beautiful space and very secluded, set apart from the rest of the property. We enjoyed our stay and have already made plans to return!

A truly wonderful place to spend a few days (or longer) in the heart of Sandton. I will certainly be back.

Ian is a super helpful host and we have a really pleasant stay here.

Very nice garden and helpful attendant Frank.

We had a power outage at our home and decided to book Daniel and Tracy’s place in Norwood. The house was beautiful and felt like home right away. Daniel was responsive and made sure we had everything we needed. The location is great too, with shops and restaurants just around the corner. Would definitely recommend.

It is a hidden gem—an Airbnb that felt like a proper escape in the heart of the city. The separated barn-like unit was a spacious retreat adorned with a private garden, perfect for moments of tranquility. What made this stay truly special, however, was Kim, the host. Her warmth and attentiveness transformed a simple visit into a memorable experience, as she catered to every need with genuine care. For anyone seeking a blend of comfort and charm, I wholeheartedly recommend this enchanting haven. A perfect sanctuary awaits, where the city’s hustle fades away, leaving only peace and beauty in its place. Damir

We had a wonderful stay at this lovely 3-bedroom home! Our family of 6, plus our infant, were very comfortably accommodated. The house was exactly as listed—clean, spacious, and equipped with all the promised amenities. It felt very homey and perfect for a family getaway. The host went above and beyond—she was incredibly courteous and responsive throughout our stay. We were especially touched that she even purchased a baby bath for us, in addition to providing the cot listed in the description. Her thoughtful gestures and prompt communication made our trip smooth and stress-free. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and wouldn’t hesitate to return. Highly recommend!

Have stayed here at ArtSpace before, and just like the last time, the place was absolutely perfect. It is clean, spacious, organized, functional and free of clutter. There is a patio outside where one can sit down and relax - read a book, or work on the computer. The WiFi connection is strong and reliable. There is solar power so no load shedding anxiety. Hot water is available and plentiful, and the pressure is strong. The area is safe and secure, and not only is there off street parking, you actually get to park in the garage. The garden is amazing, and you can lounge here or at the gazebo, or by the pool. Most of all the place is beautifully dotted by contemporary art that mesmerize. The place is near all the services and facilities you will need - malls, shops, restaurants, service stations, hospitals and clinics - making it a very convenient base for those special errands. This is the home you always have a reason to come back to. And the host, Teresa, is just wonderful.

Really great experience, the history dropped off a hairdryer when I realised there was one missing!

This was our second stay at Maddy's place. Beautiful home, large bedrooms enough to accommodate my large family. Very clean. Great communication throughout and they accommodated our awkward check out time due to our flights out. Highly recommend!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The loft was beautiful, spotless, and offered incredible views of Sandton — especially the city lights at night, which my partner absolutely loved. We’ll definitely be coming back and plan to use Shola’s place regularly. Highly recommended!

I had a wonderful stay at Tia and Mandy’s place. Both hosts were always very responsive and immediately took action if anything required it (which there was very little need for). The location of this studio apartment is also perfect for someone that needs to be close to amenities like a pharmacy, great restaurants and grocery stores. I had friendly neighbors and the security at the complex is top notch. Please note that the washing machine is not in the unit but within a laundry room in the complex. I wont hesitate to recommend this little gem to anyone needing a weekend away or a short stay with all the comforts of home.

The only downside to our trip was not being able to extend our stay - a very beautiful home with lots of personality in a safe neighbourhood. We especially enjoyed the garden and it served as a great backdrop for photos. The rooms were large and each had its own special touch. Mini was very kind and Ezna, our caretaker was readily available to help with the tiny snags we had here and there, not to mention the housekeeping tasks she's available to assist with - please feel free to tip her.

Great place, it was inviting and quite homely. The garden is plush and everything just works perfectly. Thank you to Ben and Co for a good stay. The staff is very friendly and helpful. We had a fab time.

My family and I had the most amazing stay. Michelle is a fabulous host will definitely be back . The place was everything I expected it to be and more.
