Ghana is one African country that needs no introduction. This small West African country has big neighbour Nigeria being the jealous sibling. This country has, arguably, offered more to the world than any other African country.

Ghana to the World

The first to gain independence from colonial rule, it was Ghana that ushered the wave of independence movement across the continent through mammoth efforts by its first president Kwame Nkrumah, in the 1950s and 60s.

In 2019, Ghana opened its borders to the world of tourism when they launched “The Year of Return”, which saw over 1.9million visitors to the country, raising some $2billion USD in monies spent on the economy alone.

Ghana is the most visited West African country and holds its own in terms of tourist visitors Africa-wide.

Short-stay Vacation Rental in Accra

Whether you are looking for holiday accommodation in Accra, holiday apartments in Accra or affordable short-stay apartments in Accra, Ghana, you will not be short of finding one. In a recent publication, Accra, Ghana’s capital was touted as the second most expensive city after Tokyo. How far true this is, is left to your own assessment. One thing is clear though: the decent hotels, i.e. 4-star and above, are mostly quoted in USD or its equivalent and can be very expensive. Hosts offering guest houses for short-let in Accra, cheap hotel accommodation, vacation rentals in Accra, or even furnished apartments for rent, may not offer the sophisticated international traveller what they need and want in terms of security, comfort, service or price. Ghana is known for poor customer service across most of its service industries and the hospitality industry is no exception.

As a result of this, any visitor looking for holiday apartments for rent, short-stay vacation rentals, or a decent hotel accommodation in Accra Ghana, turns to platforms such as Airbnb or Booking.com (OTAs), the lead platforms visitors to Ghana search from. Other platforms such as VRBO, Trip Advisor or even third- party platforms such as Travelnest.com, all boast listings of short-term vacation rentals in Accra on their platforms.

In Accra, there appear to be a glut of one, two or three-bedroom apartments for rent. There are those at the higher end and those at the backwaters of some local places in Accra. Delivering comfort, security and high standards at reasonable or affordable prices tend to be the difficulty hosts in Accra have. Amidst the many listing on OTA’s most hosts do not bother to make the effort to cater for the needs of the international and local traveller. It was against this backdrop that Douglas Court Accra was launched in January 2022.

Most short-stay accommodation in Accra, listed in Airbnb, are expensive and offer minimal customer service. Douglas Court Accra, however, is staged beyond the norm.
