A light white open place-space, motel Mi Pi CHi is the ideal sanctum to retreat to after a day of Joburg frenzy.
Unique among Johannesburg places of stay, motel Mi Pi CHi utilises its location to offer an urban African experience – contrasting a serene and quiet interior with a lively street scape on weekends.
Designed by architect, Andrew Makin whose creative wizardry has contributed to watershed projects like the South African Constitutional Court & Singita Lebombo and Sweni in the Kruger National Park.
Boasting easy drive-in, drive-out accessibility it's an unexpected oasis on the other side of a rough, high brick wall on Melville’s vibey fourth avenue.
motel Mi Pi CHi announces itself to the weary traveller by means of a cute neon pink sign, that is just a little clue to the stylish contemporary accommodation that lies beyond our impressive front wall. The perfect location for globetrotters to unpack their bags and make themselves at home, our sassy overnight establishment gives you the opportunity to refuel and refresh during your trip to Joburg, Mzansi’s hippest afropolitan capital.
motel Mi Pi CHi is situated on fourth avenue in the heart of Melville, close enough to wonder down the street for a decent espresso or browse through a second hand bookshop in Joburgs’s most cosmopolitan village.
If it's a silent weekend of cocooning you're after, head further north, but if you like a bit of weekend liveliness, the 7th street stretch of cool bars and cafes is just a stone's throw away. ‘Sewende Laan' even has a daily soap opera named after it.
Close to the gritty city as well as well as to the M1 Highway, which leads to the flash northern suburbs, Melville is the ideal central location for any visit to Johannesburg.
Each bedroom suite opens on to a screeded concrete shower room with under-floor heating that intern flows out a little private courtyard with a waterfall, so guests feel like they have their own little piece of wilderness to enjoy. It’s like taking a sensual outdoor shower minus the rough edges.
Our open, visible clothes racks (with lots of hangers) mean you don't have to dig around in a dark cupboard to find what you want to wear. Each shower room is equipped with a hair dryer and shaver plug.
The Motel is the lovechild of Nicky Rofail, Whose Humour and poppy inventiveness give the place its character and charm. She’s the generous sprite behind the surprise bowls of Nik Naks, Liquorice all sorts and sugus sweeties.

14 guests' feedbackIt was perfect. Good.
Not worth the money spent. My room was filthy (hair on the floor). They were not prepared for loadshedding and I sat in the dark for a long time. Breakfast was unimpressive. Rooms are empty and uncomfortable to live in.
Close to everything - restaurants and shops. Our room was beautiful, cool and bathroom overlooked a small private courtyard. Large sliding glass doors everywhere that bring the outside in. Surprising, peaceful and 'quirky'.
Very friendly welcome and the room has all the facilities needed - really like the style and decor.
Just needs a 2-plate stove then it has everything. You can walk to the Spar, and it is in 4th Avenue, in the heart of Melville.
Beautiful unit. Clean linen. Puppies traveled together and it was safe for them.
The bed was very comfortable and nice and big. Everything is clean and taken care of.
Vriendelike personeel en ons sal dit aanbeveel vir enige een. Die plek is baie mooi ingerig. Ons het lekker gebly.
I would book in there anytime. The service and treatment was superb.
See the stars.
The stay was extraordinary and surprising. The rooms are very cutely done and I love the uniqueness of the bathrooms. For a business trip I would definitely stay again, but not for personal purposes. It feels too clinical to be romantic, and the area feels unsafe - and more so the entrance late at night, despite there being a night guard.
Everyone was friendly, the room was beautiful, and the premises were safe! We would definitely recommend people to stay here.
The place is very nice and tidy! If I could make one suggestion, I would only recommend security gates, but otherwise everything was up to our expectations. I will definitely stay there again.
We had such great customer service, Thank you!

Description
Each room has its own signature colour accent, drawn from original linocut prints by Mozambican artists Isaac Sithole and Ezekiel Mabote. The rooms also have a lovely zen blankness about them, enabling visitors to inscribe them with their own personality. North facing sun rooms with DStv, laptop safe, mini bar, underfloor heating and writing desk. The bleached wooden floors (original 1930s Baltic deal) and pale moonbeam-coloured walls give of a soft glow reflecting the crisp, white cotton percale bed linen. Oh, and there are Tick-Tock clocks for when you need them. The room is situated inside the main guesthouse.
