- Typically, a guest house with 5 rooms: R800 per month
- Guest house with 10 rooms: R1200 per month

Payment will cover everything from monthly assistance to certification costs.
It will literally cost you one rooms income per month, but the potential to make you a preferred guest house, due to your certification, will surpass that cost easily!
