Detailed Reviews
Perfect halfway stay! The hotel is very clean and has everything you need. It is truly a hidden gem. At first sight it does not look like much, but when you enter the premises it is unexpectedly unique, pretty and the rooms are very big. The hotel is walking distance to a number of great restaurants.

We took the road trip over 2 days. We stopped in Colesburg to rest. The accommodation was perfect and service friendly and organized. The guest house is located centrally with easy access to restaurants and safe place to keep your car.

Just found the room decor very dated and the general surrounds austere and almost "industrial". Thought I was overnighting in a truck stop!
A flood light into the room from a neighbouring property was also not conducive to good sleep.
I need an overnight rest stop that I look forward to getting to and not one that I am in a hurry to leave.
That said the room was clean and the water was hot.

The warm atmosphere with Chante's sweet and kind hospitality made it an unforgettable experience. We were given our own cottage that was like a small apartment and she never lost her smile no matter how many times we came around to ask about the area, the guesthouse, restaurants and even the TV (my husband is spoiled with Youtube and no longer knows how to work a DSTV box) Thank you, Chante for your warm welcome and for all your patience with us. We will return in a months time!

The room needs some serious updating. The tv remote only works if you are literally under the tv. The decoder is locked in a little safety box which I totally understand, but having to get up to change the channel all the time is very inconvenient. Better planning needed.
Bathroom blind is to short and therefore no privacy in the bathroom.
Staff are very friending though.

Guesthouse provided more than enough space, but lacked basic utensils like knives,forks in their kitchenette, also lacking fresh sugar and coffee powder. There were also no microwave or other device to heat up food. Taps also leaked profusely, which you you do not expect going on their previous ratings.

We booked this room at the last minute, and did not expect to get such great assistance from the host and this lovely comfortable room. The host waited until 9pm to greet us. She already put on the warm blanket and aircon so the room will be warm and comfortable. The Breakfast the next morning was delicious and freshly prepared. Will recommend this lovely establishment. If i can recommend one thing. The coffee in the coffee nook was Ric coffee that is not everyone taste and a bit bland. Will just recommend a little better quality coffee to round off the cozy feeling

I grew up in Colesberg, it was my 1st time staying in a guest house. I had the best night, booking was easy in a short notice. Friendly host realy value for money. I will definitely recommend lighthouse to my friends. After a long flight from England I was able to relax in the comfortable bed and quiet environment.

We arrived on a cold and rainy afternoon. We were upgraded to a better bigger room. Room was comfortable, warm, and well equipped. Went for supper at Bordeaux restaurant. Their Bobotie was delicious. We slept well – heard no noise from passing trucks in the main street. The guesthouse is well kept with nice surrounding gardens. Safe parking for cars. We will stay there again on the next trip to Cape Town.

Overall great stay.
Only issue is the rooms don’t have WiFi & one has to sit in the garden of the main house to use.
Rooms were clean & air conditioned.
Water pressure wasn’t amazing- but can’t blame the guesthouse for municipal issues

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
