South Africa's wide range of accommodation establishments includes hotels, private game lodges and reserves, country houses and lodges, guest-houses, bed-and-breakfast establishments and holiday farms.  The Tourism Grading Council has introduced the voluntary National Star Grading Scheme.  Guests can now look for the National Star Grading logo and stars to assure them that an accommodation establishment displaying the new-look stars has been personally visited and assessed by an accredited assessor.  As the assessment process is a continuous process, the most up-to-date listing of graded establishments will be found on the Tourism Grading Council's website.  A National Star Grading indicates to both domestic and international tourists that a graded establishment has a commitment to quality, standards and service.

South Africa is divided into nine regions:  Western Cape, Northern Cape, Eastern Cape, Fee State, North West, Gauteng, Limpopo, Mpumalanga and KwaZulu Natal.  Please select a region to make an informed decision about your accommodation preference.  Alternatively go to "Places of Interrest" and get more information to help you make a choice.
