Beautiful herritage home built early 1900's by Lismores first doctor. They have gone to great lengths to preserve the original building & style. Great value, clean, friendly staff, decent breakfast and brilliant shared kitchen. It will be interesting to see if Melville House continues to hold the high standard & care it's previous owner dedicated her life to.

Melville house has got character and charm so it’s quite unique. It’s very good value, easily accessible, clean room with all the facilities you need. There’s continental breakfast. A large pool and garden which is very pleasant. Would definitely come again if was waiting to stay in Lismore or surrounds.
