Le Rubis is a special destination amongst the guesthouses on offer to visitors in Kariega (Uitenhage). The name Le Rubis is inspired by the spiritual powers of the ruby – a lustrous, deep red stone that has accrued special and symbolic meaning through time. The elegant construction and décor throughout the Guest House represents the same nobility, purity and passion of this gemstone, echoing the richness unique to an unequalled experience. The rooms - which are inspired by the myth and wonder of the most vibrant gemstones, derive their names from the verse: “Who can find a virtuous women, for her value is far above rubies?”

Enjoy our best room views & activity. Situated in the Eastern Cape with its rolling hills, vast coastline, forests, areas of semi-arid desert, and diverse flora and fauna, Le Rubis is perfectly located to visit the surrounding areas.
