The Guest House Association of South Africa

Posted to: Accommodation and Specials, Miscellaneous

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

    I have tried to con­tact the Cape Colonial Guest House where my wife and I have stayed before to book a reser­va­tion, but have not reached them by e-mail, or tele­phone. Are they still in busi­ness or on vacation?

    Answers would be appreciated.
