The temple is beautiful with an auspicious energy but is let down by that older priest from Durban who is constantly moody and on WhatsApp.He wont even bless you as he apparently doesnt do that. The committee needs to look into this moody uncles behaviour and get him off WhatsApp gossiping during working hours

Melrose Temple is safe to visit. Proper temperature checks and hand sanitization is done, before you enter the temple. Proper social distancing is followed. Mask is necessary to enter premises. Please do check the opening and closing time before visiting.

Beautiful temple but needs a new Guru. The older guru spends more time on whatsapp and seems annoyed to do his duties. Rather get a priest who performs his duties happily than begrudgingly. Cant be gossiping on whatsapp with Cookie etc when opening book

One of the oldest temples in South Africa, deep in maintaining culture and history. Definitely a must see. The temple is always very well maintained and safe and boasts a family of peacocks that chirp in the background while you offer your prayers.

Open only for Car Prayers with set prices for certain types of cars. This isnt a spiritual place at all! The focus is on money and the trustees are the worst looking and not good peopleRather drive to Buccleuch temple where the energy is about GodThat Guru only busy on his phone the whole day
