Detailed Reviews
I arrived at The Lighthouse on a 35 degree mid summer's day . I was welcomed with a shady parking spot for my car and a blissfully cool room , aircon on high ! . Ice and cold water ready in the fridge. I most appreciated this pre empive attention and was very comfortable for the rest of my stay. As the day cooled I strolled through the town to find Bordeaux restaurant just a short walk away. Great food , friendly locals, a super comfy bed and I was refreshed and on my way the next morning.

Nice and clean. Lady who showed us in was exceptionally friendly and helpful. The pizza restaurant we were advised to go to wasn't great. Poor service, wrong order, very slow, with loud music, and smoking in the bar. Not really suitable for a family.

We asked for and got the very spacious room outside. Maretha kept in touch re our arrival time and was there to greet us. Room had all we needed and we could sit outside and enjoy the lovely weather before heading off to dinner. She also let us store stuff in the big freezer in the breakfast area.

Highly recommended!

We were traveling from Joburg to Knysna and need to break up our long journey, and found this little gem.
Staff very friendly and attentive.
Room was spacious, clean and had a huge comfy bed which meant we had a great night's sleep.
The room was equipped with a TV, kettle and a little microwave, what more could you ask for.
If you have time opt for the breakfast,it was delicious.
Great place to stay to break up a long journey to the Cape.
Highly recommend 👌

Comfortable. Nice located in town close to Restaurant. Some traffic noise, Well managed and friendly reception. Would like at least a rusk in the room with your coffee. Room was a bit too dark for reading a book. Will re visit again.

The service we received from booking to our arrival was amazing. We arrived very late at the lodge and Maretha was very kind to open for us and take us to our room. The room was neat and clean. We felt refreshed and well rested the next day. We will definitely book at lighthouse again should we be at Colesburg.

Clean and comfortable for the night. The room was cozy and the electric blankets were greatly appreciated. No WiFi. Restaurants are within walking distance. Our car was parked safely on the premises. Staff members are very friendly and courteous.

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
