About us

We offer unique places suitable for your comfort

Our Story

Plustay was born from a simple idea — to help people find peace, not just places. As avid travelers ourselves, we craved stays that felt thoughtful, personal, and quiet. From that desire, Plustay grew into a network of restful homes designed for reflection, creativity, and calm. We focus on unique, off-the-beaten-path stays across Africa — places that speak to the soul. Whether you are a writer seeking solitude or a couple chasing quiet romance, we’ve got space for you.

Our hosts are handpicked for their warmth, attention to detail, and mindful hospitality. Each listing is more than a place to sleep, it’s a story waiting to be lived. We believe slow, intentional travel changes lives and Plustay is our way of spreading that light. Welcome to a new way to stay. Welcome home.

Our Values

Mindful hospitality

We believe hospitality is more than service it’s a way of being. At Plustay, every detail is intentional, from the lighting to the welcome note. We aim to create calm, grounding spaces that help guests slow down. Hosts are encouraged to tune in, not just check in. We serve with care, respect, and a quiet touch.

Aunthenticity

Our stays celebrate real, local character not cookie-cutter experiences. Each home reflects the culture, story, and soul of its surroundings. We avoid artificial luxury in favor of honest, heartfelt comfort. Our listings are curated for people who value meaning over appearance. Because we believe beauty is found in what’s genuine.

Accessibility

Great stays should be within reach, not just for the elite few. We provide options for travelers with all kinds of budgets and needs. Plustay empowers small hosts and local communities to grow through hosting. We offer tools, support, and fair opportunities for everyone. Whether you’re booking or hosting, you belong here.

Stillness & Slowness

We value peace not just quiet, but true stillness of mind. Plustay is designed for those seeking to disconnect from the noise. Our spaces invite deep rest, reflection, and intentional living. We support the slow travel movement, encouraging longer, more meaningful stays. Because slowing down can often move you forward.

Community-driven growth

Behind every Plustay listing is a real person, a local story. We grow by supporting hosts, travelers, and their neighborhoods. We believe small collaborations lead to big impact. Our platform is about connection, not just commerce. We build together, share knowledge, and lift each other.

Intentional Design

We believe space influences emotion, so every detail matters. Plustay homes are curated for comfort, calm and connection. From soft textures to natural light, design is never accidental. Hosts are encouraged to express beauty in simple, thoughtful ways. Because well-designed spaces help guests feel truly at home.
