More about us
Merwehuis was built in 1938. The current owners are the fourth family to enjoy the spacious old home. They took great effort and pride to restore their house to reflect a bygone era.
Their love and appreciation for their own family- history is reflected in the names of all the suites. Names like Visser, Alewijnse and Pieters are some of the surnames of their ancestors.
Although situated in the midst of the vibrant community of Auckland Park and Rossmore, Merwehuis offers a tranquil ambience where you can experience home away from home. Since the establishment of Merwehuis in 2007, the owners have experienced how guests become friends, who return to experience the warm hospitality that Merwehuis has to offer.
Merwehuis is within walking distance of Johannesburg University and 7 kilometres from Wits. Milpark hospital, Donald Gordon Hospital, Garden City Clinic and the Barney Hurwitz Rehabilitation Centre are in close proximity. The SABC and Mediapark are within walking distance.
