It's quieter than the rooms in centre of Colesberg, and you can stroll inside the large yard area with cool outdoor spaces in the shade. Rooms were very comfortable, good linen, mattress and cushions with modern bathrooms and fittings nicely blended with old pieces. Only one suggestion, add rails for the elderly in the glassed in showers that are quite slippery? ##### Jan Stayed 1 night in Jan 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Louis Dec 30, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Comfortable and good rest Great clean rooms with beautiful stylish bathroom and sleeping area with incredible comfortable bed. Only thing was that the walls could be better soundproofed due to noise from neighbors easily heard all round. ##### Louis Stayed 1 night in Dec 2018 ### 6/10 Okay #### Arthur Dec 29, 2018 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Cleanliness #### The ants in my bed weren't in my imagination Very nice extension to the hotel. However, two issues need to be addressed: house rules about noise after 10pm must be communicated and the rooms need fumigation. ##### Arthur Stayed 1 night in Dec 2018 ### 6/10 Okay #### Tanja Dec 28, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Blast from the past Cute friendly guesthouse but 2nd bedroom didnt had an aircon or ceiling fan. it was insane hot and uncomfortable. ##### Tanja Stayed 1 night in Dec 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Clinton Dec 19, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### A wonderful overnight spot in Colesberg We stayed in the "other" guest house called La Provence that is owned by the same Lighthouse but just up the road next to the school. I am sure that it is a quieter area but is it a little walk from the restaurants (of which there are many to choose from). Wonderful safe parking on the property so you can leave your fully loaded car without having to unpack it all for the night. The rooms were very nice, good a/c; free wifi and there was a nice shady area under a tree if you wanted to sit outside. The only thing I wish they had on site was a swimming pool. ##### Clinton Stayed 1 night in Dec 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### James Nov 9, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Neat Place in Centre of the town Nice place, right in the centre of time.
