33 Melville Road is an authentic and stately 1950s Johannesburg mansion, ideally located in the exclusive northern suburb of Hyde Park, close to popular restaurants, Sandton and Hyde Park shopping centres, famous art galleries and the Gautrain.
The interiors blend classic and contemporary South Africa with a touch of eccentricity and a quirky use of colour. These delightful spaces ooze personality and capture the vibrancy of “Jozi” and refined luxury in one unique experience.
