Guest Houses in South Africa

South Africa offers diverse accommodation options from luxury safari lodges and boutique city hotels to coastal resorts and country guesthouses. The country is renowned for its world-class game reserves, wine estate stays and unique accommodation experiences across all nine provinces.

About Guest Houses in South Africa

Guest houses in South Africa strike a balance between B&Bs and self-catering, offering private rooms with shared lounges and kitchens for a more independent stay.

Hosts are usually nearby to recommend the best local pubs or arrange taxis, but you’re free to come and go as you please. Many guest houses in South Africa occupy historic buildings, with quirks like original fireplaces or winding staircases adding character. The vibe is relaxed and unpretentious—think mismatched china and dog-eared guidebooks in the hallway. Ideal for travellers who want a home base without the formality of a hotel.
