Melville Manor

Within Randburg's residential neighbourhoods, guest houses serve a practical community function beyond tourism. They provide temporary housing for people between moves, accommodation for families visiting during personal crises, spaces for relatives staying during medical appointments at nearby hospitals, and affordable options for people relocating to the area for work. For many residents, having a reliable guest house nearby means they can host visitors without the disruption of sharing their home, or find emergency accommodation without the cold formality of hotel chains. Melville Manor fits into this neighbourhood fabric—operating as more than a business, but as part of how a community manages the constant movement of people through the Gauteng region. These places matter because they absorb the ordinary transitions of people's lives.
