Detailed Reviews
The Lighthouse was conveniently located and the room very spacious and clean. Restaurants were withing walking distance, check-in and check-out without any complications. The cold winters will probably require a heater in the rooms.

The Lighthouse was recommended by a work colleague, we stopped over to sleep on way home from Cape Town to JHB, we were very happy with service given. The rooms were beautiful and very clean, and we all have a good night sleep before heading back to JHB. Would definitely stay over again if in the area.

When I suggested to the Manager that a glass panel could be fitted to the side of the bath and a bracket fitted to the wall for the hand held shower which is already fitted, I was told that the Owner would not do that. This I found to be rather inconsiderate of Guests. For that reason I will not recommend your Guest House. As a Pr.Architect I believe that this is a cheap practical solution.

Response from karoogirl6, Owner at The Lighthouse Guesthouse
Responded 20 Jan 2020
Mr Kruger, please ask for a unit with shower next time - we have lovely modern units with walk in showers - sorry that you booked this unit with bath - some guests prefer a bath (especially our Cape Town customers). You booked on Booking.com and chose this unit specifically - sorry that we were not able to move you to another room on the night. We understand your frustration and preference.

The accommodation was well positioned in town. Close to the restaurants and pubs. We had a warm welcome and check in was very easy. We stayed in a family room with my husband and 2 children. The room was quite large and well equipped. The beds were extremely comfortable and the bath was beautiful and big. We had breakfast the next morning and even though there were issues with Eskom power in the area, the owner gave us a complimentary breakfast to apologise. We will most definitely be back. Such a great stopover on the way to St Francis.

When I booked the accommodation I had requested a deluxe room with a shower.
we did not feel that was what we received .
There was no hot water when we showered.
Caitlyn tried to assist showing us several other rooms but they were unfortunately of a lower standard
We found it strange that there was no WiFi in the room we had to be in the reception area

Very conveniently located and nice big spacious rooms. Good service. Bed as hard as a rock could hardly sleep. The cold and hot water taps were also extremely sensitive and was just difficult to operate. So in all, conveniently located but an uncomfortable sleep.

We have stayed at The Lighthouse Guesthouse more than once when traveling between Gauteng and the Cape. It is very easy to find, convenient as a stop over and the hosts are very accommodating. It is well situated with local restaurants within walking distance. A highly recommended stay

Excellent property, staff and ambiance of room . Rooms was clean and so was bathroom. Comfortable and felt like being at home. Added bonus was the electric bed blankets as the night of the 12th was rather cold.

A lovely room. Air-conditioned. Thank heavens as it was very cold in Colesburg. Upon arrival we were warmly welcomed by Adri. Check in was smooth. Bathroom facilities were modern and shower was had good water pressure.

During the lockdown I was prepared for the bare minimum but the lighthouse was truly a beacon in this time. The service was friendly and the room was exquisitely beautiful. The owners do everything to ensure you have a clean run, Covid-19 safe. One of the best stays I've had.

Let us know what night you are looking at, as we do have 2 pet friendly units which lead onto a private garden
Good day, each unit has a designated area where your vehicle can be securely parked behind a locked gate.
Good day Christine,
We have a secure parking area for guests staying over at our establishment, the parking area is secured behind a large gate which is locked at all times.
Kind regards
Danielle
