The Guest House Association of South Africa

A requirement of advertising any accommodation establishment on the SA-Venues.com and Suedafrika-Reise.net (German site) network of South Africa Accommodation and travel sites, be it an Hotel, Guest House, Bed and Breakfast or Self Catering Accommodation is that the Establishment be a registered, accredited accommodation provider.

One of our preferred and recommended South African accreditation associations is the Guest House Association of South Africa (known in short as GHASA). Their service offers many benefits. For us at SA-Venues.com the major benefit is that overseas visitors easily identify with the GHASA logo, are aware that the establishment they are considering booking with is a credible, assessed establishment and therefore their confidence in booking with that establishment is high. Over and above this the Association offers their members numerous additional value added services (marketing, advice and friendly, accessible staff) so it is a worthwhile investment getting your accommodation registered with GHASA.

The Guest House Association of South Africa (GHASA) was established in 1992 and has over the past 14 years become well known as experts in quality guest house accommodation. The organization was subsequently privatized and more recently, changed the name to Guest House Accommodation of South Africa (acronym still GHASA), because they no longer operating as a Section 21 (not for profit) association.

Some of the many benefits of being a member of GHASA:

  • Credibility – GHASA take on only professional, commercial establishments
  • Great marketing opportunities – The GHASA website is marketed extensively
  • Assistance and valued advice – especially useful for new owners and managers
  • Star Grading – if you’ve not been graded, speak to GHASA about requirements
  • Special supplier deals – GHASA can help you save money
  • Recognition – The GHASA logo has become synonymous with quality
