Guest Houses

ImageThe term ‘Guest House’ is a broad explanation of a variety of accommodation types. In some parts of the world a guest house is similar to a hostel or bed and breakfast . In other parts of the world guest houses are the only kind of accommodation available for visitors with no local relatives.

 

In South Africa the Guest House generally refers to a house/ home that is independently owned and operated, offering a range of facilities in a wide range of price classes.An important difference between a guest house and, for example, a hotel is the lack of full time staff.

One will find that guest houses will operate with day-time only staff, therefore appointments might be necessary for check-in and check-out, and other facilities.

Guest House through out South Africa

Why choose a guest house, you may well ask. Why not a hotel or self-catering accommodation ? The guest house has many of the conveniences and comforts of home, so you might truly feel that the one that you choose is indeed your ‘home away from home’. As the establishments are on the smaller side it is so much easier for the owners/ managers to add the personal touch to everything from the fresh towels in the bathroom to the fresh coffee at breakfast.

Often the owners/ managers will bend over backwards to ensure the quality of your stay is above reproach. It will not be a surprise to find that you return time and again to a favourite of yours.

An exciting feature of guest houses is that no two properties are alike. From super deluxe accommodation to the more modest establishment, every guest house has a different ambiance and décor. But, without exception, when you stay at any of the establishments listed with us, you will experience genuine friendliness and old-fashioned courtesy in warm and relaxed surroundings.
