This four star establishment offers comfortable, well appointed rooms and is situated close to the nearby attractions of the Boardwalk Casino, the lovely walks along the water-front and the Port Elizabeth University. One would have to dig... More

This was our 2nd stay at Melrose Place. The rooms are compact but very comfortable and clean. Most rooms have a small private courtyard with access to the garden. Service is friendly. Walking distance from the beach and very close to airport.
