About
About GHASA est. 1992
GHASA was established in 1992 when a group of establishment owners got together to promote the guest house industry.
In 2000, GHASA became a private company, known as Guest House Association of SA (Pty) Limited, also incorporating the Self-Catering Registry of SA.
Over the past 16 years, GHASA has become well known as experts in quality guest house accommodation, offering many benefits, assistance and valued advice to members, as well as booking opportunities for travellers.
More recently, in order to improve bookings for our members, we've changed our name to Guest House Accommodation of South Africa (acronym still GHASA).
To that end we have geared our website for "realtime online availability", making the process of booking at a participating guest house so much easier for the traveller or Agent.
So, whilst we're still offering the same member benefits, GHASA now offers its subscribers and travellers a realtime interactive booking portal!

From its inception, the Tourism Grading Council has achieved a number of significant goals. What began as an ambitious program to measure the quality offered by the tourism industry has through its Star Grading system, blossomed into the recognised national standard.
When travellers stay at Star Graded establishments, they have an expectation of what they will find at your accommodation.
Star Grading is based on the overall quality of the property, which includes services and facilities offered to guests.
