Nice place

Interesting historical building. Very well managed and preserved.

Absolutely stunning. A must see. Little bit creepy in the addic.. but still awesome to visit.

It was great. The people was very helpful and the house beautiful and the audio helped alot. Thank you.

What an awesome experience. The museum is starting to show signs of wear and tear, but still gives you a clear picture of the kind of opulent lifestyles people lived back then. The massive tree in the front yard was a surprising bonus.

Nice and quiet on a sunday afternoon. Friendly staff.

A very nice house. Totally worth the visit. Allocate 1-2hours for the trip(theres a lot to see). The garden outside the house is also pretty note worthy.

You have to experience this for yourself. The history and architecture of this great house is amazing

Melrose House is a stately mansion and museum located on Burgers Park in Pretoria, South Africa.

Awesome place. Well preserved and an absolute showcase of history in the early 1900. Architecture wonder that showcase ability regarding architecture and ablution. Fascinated at the facilities. The preserved furniture of the time absolutely fascinating. The venue was well preserved and maintained. Historically a marvel to see the table where the treaty of Vereeniging was signed. Incredible to read who was present around a table where treaty was signed

Beautifully restored and maintained building c1895. Take the guided tour its well worth it.

A real time machine that transports you into yesteryear...beautiful and well maintained. A must see for everyone, from history nuts to the average person who enjoys being immersed in something from a grandiose time gone by. And if youre somebody who loves the air of a place that could be haunted, this is the place to see...from the gigantic tree with its exposed roots in the yard to the creepy attic...you will not be disappointed. A true gem hidden in the middle of the city and the secure parking and friendly staff are the cherry on the top!

Place is clean, no pictures may be taken. There is no spoke person to discuss the history no brochure. Each room has a chain in front so you can only look from a distance.

Good museum

Visited on a Sunday afternoon and it was very quiet. There is free parking located at the south side of the house. Enter 280 Scheiding Street in google maps to reach the parking. Admission for entering the house is R25 at the time of my visit. There is also an option for a audio tour at an additional cost.

Beautiful house with stunning furniture and decor. House kept clean and a nice dose of history. Massive trees outside, lovely place. A real must when you do a tour through Pretoria. Small entrance fee but worth it.

Beautiful place. We had a market there. Stunning venue

Very well looked after. First the person who admires time

Disappear into a different era. A hidden gem in Pretoria CBD that will leave you marveling at the opulance of bygone times. Take a guided or unguided tour through the house and be sure to have a long look at the billiard room. The stained-glass windows will take your breath away!

I LOVED this 137-year-old-house; it was impeccable inside, and was well-tended-outside, as well. I thought the separate-round-building-outside was especially awesome for that time-period; it was refrigerated. THEY had a half-length-of-the-property-just-for-their-horse-stables-with- an-attached-flats(FLATS in AFRICA MEANS apartments)-area, where the groomers resided. LOVELY gardens, and the largest roots of a 🌲 that I have ever seen; the tree was over-100-years-old, but the branches were perfect. Green and full-with-many-many-branches, and it was GIGANTIC!!! There were several separate buildings in addition to the ones mentioned outside and a gorgeous fountain with FLOWERS BLOSSOMING surrounding it in the front yard and just across- the-street-a- GRAND and GLORIOUS-Park, with the most-beautiful-blossoming-trees-and-the-blossoms-are-the-brightest-sunshine-yellow-that-your-mind-can-imagine. As you walk into the park, the trees are on both sides of the walk. Spectacular! From the upstairs-wincows-of-the-house-there-are-some-perfect-views-into-the-park. NOW, the unexpected, there was-a-group of singers, most-likely-a- church-choir; they were incredibly-blended and sounded-totally-professional; they were rehearsing the entire time I was visiting the mansion. The music added DELIGHTFULLY to my time spent THERE ‼️ I fully-enjoyed-peering-out-the-windows; they were covered with almost a light-light-croquet-loosely-woven-off-white-thicker-thread, but LOOKED divine and VERY-DELICATE-and-classey.The house was built-to-PLEASE-EVERY-SINGLE-WHIM-THAT-ANY-EYE(FABULOUS PAINTINGS-THAT-SOMETIMES-COVERED-MOST-OF-the-wall-were-hung-precisely-throughout-the-house) or-any-HEART-MIGHT-EVER-DESIRE, such as, the carefully designed- wallpaper, which was no doubt arranged for in England and brought to SOUTH AFRICA ‼️ It was ALL of UNIQUE DESIGN and matched-each-setting-exquisitely. WHILE within my lifetime, I couldnt cover-the-details-of-everything;therefore, I have chosen to mention a few pieces that were indelibly-pressed in-my-mind. The nursery was one of the last rooms that I stepped into: a cradle filled-with-baby-dolls; twin-beds, and one had a silk-and-satin-white-blessing-or-christening-baby-dress-laid-out-on-the-bed; it was priceless ‼️ It was displayed- horizontally, so the ruffles-drifted down the side of the coverlet. Laying next to it, were some-baby-sized-tulle-soft-pink-long-gloves - this completed-the-fairy-tale-picture-life-this-little-princess-would-actually-live. I have never seen baby-gloves like those before, but I didnt live in the 1800s and make everything by ✋. ANOTHER ENTIRE room showed a chronological history on the walls of the room, with pictures of the family INDIVIDUALLY-and-as-a-group, listing various eventsof the family members. It was LOVELY ‼️ In the lady-of-the-houses Bedroom, there was a mannequin with a tapestry-patterned-dress on; she obviously really liked PINK, because just below the stately-dress were some EXCEPTIONAL-PINK-SATIN-SHOES-with-about-a-two-inch-heel. A-PERFECT-MATCH-for-the-dress, and on the arm-of-the-over-stuffed-easy-chair, set the DELIGHTFUL-black-hat, which I believe she wore with the pink outfit. I WAS ACTUALLY HAPPY to grab that hat and put it on my own head ‼️ It WAS A REAL-EXPERIENCE, that I dont think I will forget. Thanks so much for letting me SHARE this historical-experience with you.If you ARE in South Africa, I invite you to go THERE; the cost is minimal, as to the amount you WILL LEARN. And when you go, DEFINITELY TAKE A LOOK-IN-THE-DRESSING-ROOM, WHERE the sewing was done ... Not one, but TWO of the OLDEST most antique-sewing-machines in superb condition, Ive EVER SEEN are right THERE ‼️ ENJOY ‼️ SMILES ‼️ HAPPINESS‼️😁 ♥️🇿🇦 🌍‼️ PRAISE GOD AGAIN and ALWAYS ‼️😁‼️ JOY ‼️ PEACE ‼️😁

You feel in the past in that kind of place. I like that.

A nice and chilled placed to get to know people

Great outing. My son loved it

Wow went to the antique fair. Will recommend to e everyone. Just make sure 2 take enough cash

Beautiful time capsule to a different era, and also of historical significance. Worth a visit

Its was so nice I just love it it had all the information I need

Nice time pass not much worth . If you have time then only go

Always a nice atmosphere when going there. Love the old stuff. Good food as well

Nice museum but some things I just feel like their refurbished

There is super big n tall tree outside the house nice for photos n then inside u look from the door u dont enter the rooms inside

Saw some really good stalls, but also had to wonder why there were others there that werent selling antiques

I havent been inside but I can tell that its cool place to visit

Nice building with great content and history. But so little information provided, no guides

Love these old places. They need a card machine though because who carries cash these days.

Rich in south African history quiet and mind sharpening

Very interesting and genuine antiques sold at a market which takes place annually (I think). The house itself is a wonderful place to visit if you are into that kind of thing. Unfotunately, the location has become a problem. It feels unsafe due to self appointed car guards who physically fight each other to point one to a parking space. And when you accept one offer, the other person would make you feel threatened. Some sell parking tickets, which leads you to believe that there is an allocated parking area arranged by the organisers, but this is a scam. On closer inspection, one can see that these tickets are homemade. Besides this problem, still a pleasant outing

Very nice market held twice per year. A Must see inside the Melrose house!

Love going to Melrose House. So interesting and lovely people too...

Lovely and the security guard was very proactive in keeping us safe.
