The unit was well kept, charming, yet modern. The location was perfect, only a few minutes walk to the shops. The staff were helpful and knowledgeable. I highly recommend this place.
The ceiling was quite low which makes us very uncomfortable

Impressive stay!
This place is even better than the reviews give it credit for. It's modern, spacious, and the customer service is attentive. It has a pool, and although it does not have a gym, there's a really wonderful park with running trails next door. On top of that, it's quite literally steps away from Melrose Arch, close enough to food and attractions, but far enough to be quiet at night. I've stayed in many different places in the city, and this may be my new go-to place to stay in Joburg!

Great wee spot!
Great quiet location, with all the facilities you need in an apartment, withing really close walking (safe) distance to the shops/restaurants of Melrose Arch.
Next time in JHB (for cricket at The Wanderers), I will be staying at Villa Moyal again.
Thank-you
We had a wonderful stay. Our apartment was beautiful, comfortable, quiet, and clean. The service was excellent and friendly. We would definitely stay again.
Very lovely place just near Melrose Arch shopping and dining area, close by to Sandton and Rosebank. Very nice stuff that addressed all our requests including late check-out. The kitchen equipment a bit missing however we got what was needed upon request. The place is very quiet and very well managed.
We were visiting Joburg (and South Africa) for the first time and were planning to come for events for Johannesburg Pride in Melrose Arch. Villa Moyal is across the street from Melrose Arch which is filled with wonderful restaurants and activities. Also wonderful was the included breakfast delivered to the room each morning. They let us check into the room very early as well.
Would love to stay there again!
Close to Melrose Arch shopping. Very comfortable and perfect for a family. Refrigerator stocked with various drinks. Television in every room. Large and beautiful bathrooms. Apartment staff super friendly! Michael is great and very helpful! Would definitely stay here again!
Just one negative note for the extra debiting of liquor not used and the swimming pool out of order, but for the rest the staff was very gentle and helpfull.
The location close to Melrose arch is great for a short walk in the nice restaurants area.

I have stayed here a few times. Staff are very pleasant and will help if they can.
Apartments are well appointed, good beds and clean. Location is circa 100m from Melrose Arch and is in a nice suburb of Jburg.
I recommend to anyone that is looking for a place that is larger than a hotel room for similar rates.
I was expecting a room in a private villa... little I knew I had a whole apartment, which was incredible, massive lounge, kitchen/diner, bedroom and bathroom. Brand new and excellent breakfast delivered to your room. The only issue I found with it is that I expected it to be inside the Melrose Arch complex and not on the main road just outside it.... without a driver in the evening, I didn't want to explore on foot. But apart from that, just awesome!
fairly new, stylish self catering with breakfast. good location and very safe. shops close by. Would come back any time.
