What are the best glasses for Airbnbs, guesthouses and safari lodges?
By Kirsty Cook, Govino SA · Updated · 2 min read
Short answer: Stock guest units with shatterproof Tritan™ glasses. Hosts lose a steady stream of glassware to new guests every week; Govino looks premium in listing photos, survives decks, pools and game drives, and goes in the dishwasher between stays. The Household Bundle (4 each of Wine, Flute, Can and Rocks) kits out a typical 2–4 sleeper unit.
How many glasses per unit?
| Unit sleeps | Suggested set |
|---|---|
| 2 | 4 Wine, 2 Flute, 4 Can, 2 Rocks |
| 4 | Household Bundle (16 glasses) |
| 6–8 | Household Bundle + extra Wine and Can glasses |
Lodges and game drives
Sundowner stops, bush dinners and boma evenings are where glass breaks most. A Rocks or Can glass for G&Ts and a Wine glass for reds covers most lodges, and logos can be printed from 42 glasses (branded glassware). For larger properties, buy by the case at wholesale pricing (Wine from R80 a glass).
Kitting out a lodge or several units? Wholesale pricing starts at R80 a glass by the case (minimum order R2,000). Download the wholesale catalog (PDF) or contact our wholesale and events team.

What glasses should I put in my Airbnb?
Shatterproof, dishwasher-safe glasses like Govino. They look premium and don't break between guests.
What glasses do safari lodges use on game drives?
