Detailed Reviews
Not only is this venue a good venue to overnight enroute Jhb -CT or vice versa but it is worthwhile to actually take a walk around this historic little town.
You can feel totally at ease on your walk.
The venue is spotless and Adri is a superstar as a host.

We use to stay at the Lighthouse regularly on trips to and from Cape Town. We were pleased to see that the standard was as good as it was 10 years ago. Well done. We do recommend this venue whenever asked to do so.

Wasn't sure about the exterior but the inside was nice. A nice young lady helped as check-in and organized takeaway for us to be delivered cause we had a late book-in after restaurants had already closed. Gave us good food recs - liked the buffalo wings and burgers. Had enough space for my trailer. Nice room. Friendly worker. Will stay again

My mom and I were traveling from Johannesburg. We ended up getting 5 punctures in Bloem. We fixed it and then tyre pressure dropped more. It was late afternoon. Very kind man stopped and helped to arrange 2 brand new tyres that evening. I asked the hotel if we could check in later (22:00/22:30) due to the circumstances but they would not allow it. Left us stranded that night & had to find accommodation in Bloem. We also phoned few places in Colesberg, all fully booked but they all could not understand why this place would allow a late check in. We even paid in full and did not receive any refunds. It was disappointing as it was an awful experience as two females at night in an unknown town with broken tyres and then the hotel not being understanding.

Our first stay at this establishment. Our room and bathroom was old and tired looking. Tha carpet was filthy and so old! Too scared to walk without shoes. The fitted sheet on the bed looked creased and not fresh at all so we pulled the flat sheet back to sleep on it. Under the rim of the toilet it is dirty. The mat in front of the bath is something you can only through away. I was too scared yo put my feet on it. Looked filthy! Breakfast was a far cry from the pictures we saw of the this B&B. Did not see any fruit anywhere.

The guesthouse was perfect for what we were looking for, a stop over from the Cape to Johannesburg. We wanted a place to stay from where we could walk to a restaurant. We ate at Inni Kraal, was fabulous. The room was extremely clean and the beds had electric blankets which was very welcome as it was quite cold.

Bianca was such a gracious host. Thank you for making my trip as stress free as possible. The location is great, right at the centre of town, great mid point between Cape Town and Johannesburg. Very comfortable accommodation. Once again thank you dearly. If ever I need to make that drive again, I will be definitely be visiting again and will recommend to anyone else.

Beautiful and very peaceful. Colesberg is quite cold however the heater and electric blankets definitely assist in keeping one warm. The solar power is a great idea for load shedding in beautiful SA. Thank you Hostees!

Conveniently located in town near restaurants, the Lighthouse was welcoming, comfortable, well equipped and good value. Off-street parking outside our room behind a powered gate. Hot beverages, a fridge for our perishables, a comfortable bed. We didn’t use the wifi, so can’t comment on that. Pleasant staff. We ate our evening meal at a restaurant across the street. Good value all round!

Comfortable room. Walking distance to restaurants. Safe parking. Tea, coffee and milk in room. Perfect for an overnight stopover for my joburg to CT trip. Self checkout meant it was easy to leave at the time I wanted.

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
