About Us
Agterplaas

Positioned overlooking the Melville Koppies Nature Reserve, the guesthouse offers a calm and green environment that feels far removed from the pace of the city. At the same time, its central location places guests within easy reach of key Johannesburg hubs including universities, media centres, hospitals and business districts.
The layout of the property allows guests to choose between well-appointed executive rooms and more compact options, making it suitable for both short stays and longer visits. The balance between comfort, accessibility and location is what defines the Agterplaas experience.

Why Guests Keep Coming Back
Tranquillity and Location
Guests are consistently drawn to Agterplaas for its rare combination of tranquillity and location. Being able to wake up in a quiet, bird-filled garden setting while still being just a short walk from Melville’s restaurants, cafés and nightlife creates a stay that feels both relaxed and connected.
The warm, hands-on hosting from Annemie and Elroy is another standout feature. Guests appreciate the personal attention, the welcoming atmosphere and the feeling of being looked after rather than simply checked in.
Comfortable rooms, reliable amenities and the added touch of a traditional South African breakfast complete the experience, making it a place guests return to when visiting Johannesburg. There is nothing quite like waking up to the smell of home made bread cooking, and coffee brewing. Breakfast is served in the most delightful dinning room with views over the Koppies.
Meet the Team
Meet Annemie and Elroy
Agterplaas Guesthouse is run by Annemie Turk and Elroy van Blerk, a couple who bring both professional experience and genuine passion to their hosting.
Annemie’s background as a former General Manager in the South African casino and hotel industry brings a strong foundation of hospitality expertise, while Elroy’s experience in both hospitality and retail ensures guests are always well looked after.
Together, they chose to step away from corporate life to create something more personal. Their focus is on creating a welcoming, homely environment where guests feel comfortable, relaxed and genuinely cared for throughout their stay.
