basics.
What is short-term accommodation on Goshen Stays?
Short-term accommodation covers stays booked by the night, week or month — holiday homes, apartments, guest houses, lodges and self-catering units listed by South African hosts.
Which parts of South Africa does Goshen Stays cover?
Goshen Stays is a national marketplace. Hosts can list anywhere in South Africa, including Cape Town, the Garden Route, Johannesburg, Durban and the Kruger region.
Do you offer contractor and project accommodation?
Yes. Hosts can accept longer contractor and project stays, which suit teams needing self-catering units close to a work site for weeks or months at a time.
How do I list my property?
