Ga-Thuli Guest House

Ga-Thuli is a small owner-run guest house in Mmalekwa ward in Kanye, the Ngwaketse capital in Southern District. Thulaganyo Akanyang-Kebakile opened it in 2015 after years working in hotels and catering in Botswana and South Africa. It is a town stop for people with business in Kanye or breaking a drive, not a holiday lodge.

What to expect

Eight rooms: 3 standard suites and 5 deluxe suites. Each has air-conditioning, satellite TV, Wi-Fi and a bar fridge. There is a gym with weights, benches, elliptical machines and spinning bikes, which is unusual for a place this size. Parking is inside the property, with room for 12 vehicles. Staff are on duty around the clock.

The house emblem is a meerkat, chosen because meerkats live in groups that look out for each other.

Practical details

• Check-in is from 3pm and check-out is by 10am. Leave at noon or later and you pay for another night.
• The kitchen seats 18 but keeps no food in stock. Meals are cooked on request, so say what you want when you check in.
• Bring ID. They ask for it on arrival.
• Makaba Primary School is next door. Mahube mall and a filling station are about 1 km away, Mongala mall about 2 km and Kgwatlheng Clinic about 1 km.

Good to know

No smoking in the rooms, the waiting area or the kitchen (the garden is fine). Alcohol is allowed. Pets are not. Cancel at least two days before arrival.
