305 guests' feedbackThe place is wonderful.
Always clean and tidy. Staff friendly and helpful.
Elmarie was amazing, friendly and had given recommendations for dinner in the area. The Lighthouse Guesthouse is an absolute gem in the heart of Colesberg; we were pleasantly surprised. We will absolutely stay over on our next trip.
Fantastic sleepover.
Very nice place with friendly service.
Everything we needed was there. close to good restaurants.
We slept very well at The Lighthouse Guesthouse. It's very nice and also safe, and has everything we needed.
Lighthouse's hostess was very friendly and helpful. The room was spacious and had everything needed.
Stay was great. Really sad to see the decline of Colesburg. It looks like there is no upkeep of pavements, etc. But Lighthouse was a great stopover.
Excellent, clean, with all amenities. Felt like home.
What a lovely place! It was warm in the suddenly cold weather, tidy, very cozy and the host was very friendly! Will stay there again!
Clean, modern bedroom.
Very neat accommodation. Helpful host.
Fantastic stay. Safe parking, trailer friendly. Spacious, clean room & en-suite. The host was a welcoming host. Thank you. We'll certainly book again.
Had a great sleep, thank you!
It was pleasant except for the cars making noise in the early evening.
Received very hospitable and friendly service and I loved the rooms we slept in.
Great reception and lovely spacious rooms.
Simply lovely. Beautiful host. The most comfortable bed and lovely air on made the stay bliss.
Mariska was very helpful and friendly. Room, linen and bathroom were clean.
Comfortable, safe accommodation, close to restaurants. Will definitely stay home again.
We had a lovely overnight stay and received wonderful recommendations for dinner. Friendly service and a comfy bed.
Very neat, clean and tasteful.
Very pleasant and friendly stay. Will definitely use the guest house again.
Staff attentive, rooms clean and tidy. Pleasantly furnished. Bed comfortable. All amenities working to our satisfaction. A good booklet in each room with directions on how to use the TV etc. and local places of interest as well as places to eat - with addresses and telephone numbers.
Had a great stay, the next morning there was no hot water.
Had a wonderful stay and slept!
Was good. Was even able to spray off my vehicle after being at the beach.
Nice place, very comfortable and tidy and friendly reception.
Accommodation was neat and safe.
Everything was very nice and clean.
We were received very kindly and made to feel at home. We enjoyed dinner at Innie Kraal and can recommend it.
First off, great assistance and communication from the team. We were met by the very friendly host, Brandon, who showed us our upgraded cottage (unit 11). Super comfortable 2-bed unit, 2 bathrooms (one outside) and a little kitchenette. With the Lighthouse Guesthouse being right on the main road, we were slightly concerned about town noise but Unit 11 is tucked away at the back and we slept incredibly well. Unit 11 is fantastic for a small family.
The accommodation at the guest house is suitable for a night's stay if you have to travel far.
Loved accommodation and tidy.
Very close to the restaurants in town, walking distance. Friendly service and environment and everything was neat and clean.
Friends highly recommended The Lighthouse and we were still pleasantly surprised. Everything is clean, beautiful rooms and comfortable beds with everything you need.
After the long journey, the guest house was like an oasis of calm! After a lovely, restful night's rest, the juicy breakfast in the beautiful dining room was the icing on the cake!
Friendly welcome, room was neat and comfortable.
We were warmly welcomed by Chante' who got us quickly settled in and made sure we had everything we needed. She also recommended a restaurant nearby that made the most delicious buffalo wings and delivered in literally less than 2 minutes! Our room was neat, spacious, clean and very comfortable and had everything we needed for our overnight stay. We felt well-rested for the start of the next leg of our journey. I highly recommend The Lighthouse Guesthouse as a comfortable stay in Colesberg. 5 stars!
The host was very helpful and offered to move us to a more suitable room than we had booked. The rooms were spacious and warm.
Conveniently located for traveling between Cape Town and Jhb. Close to lovely restaurants where we had a delicious meal.
Had a great sleep and was safe, thank you.
Would stay here again if we passed through Colesburg again.
Room and bathroom were clean and beautiful. After a long journey it was lovely to relax in a peaceful and clean place.
We unexpectedly got an upgrade to our accommodation and it suited us perfectly. Had a nice stay and slept well.
My son and his friend had to sleep over on the way back to university. They thought that the accommodation was very, very good.
I was received very kindly, the guest house is very well furnished - rooms are beautiful and tidy. Breakfast delicious.
There had been loadshedding and received lamp from person at reception. Room was clean and tidy.
Beautiful neat rooms and bathrooms. Comfortable clean kitchen facilities. Very nice and helpful staff. Will definitely stay there again.
Very comfortable, just a pity there is no shower.
Rooms are nice and big and clean.
And very nice furniture.
We have previously stayed at this venue and it has maintained its high standards.
Friendly staff. Wonderful little town.
Our thanks to Chante for her professionalism and friendly reception.
We have stayed at The Lighthouse many times. It's always clean and tidy. Family unit is nice and big and clean. I would recommend putting the double bed in the smaller room and all the children's beds in the larger room. The light from outside bothered me a bit during the night.
See stars.
The room was comfortable and beautifully clean. We were kindly received. However, I would prefer not to use a shared kitchen for making coffee and tea, especially in the morning if you want to leave early.
Almost no water pressure for bathroom amenities. No hot water, no backup system with load shedding. No feedback correspondence on request from breakfast time.
1) The room floor needed a proper sweep. 2) We requested a room with a shower or shower over the bath. We were allocated a room with a handshower at the bath taps. The water pressure was to low in order to shower and difficult to get the water heat at an acceptable temperature. It was not a proper shower over the bath. Effectively we had an unpleasant sponge wash. 3) We stayed at the Lighthouse a few times but the last time was a disappointment. Will not book at the Lighthouse again.
The unit needs a shower.
Cottage was tidy. Staff are hospitable. Restaurants in the area provide great food.
I was worried about the location, but was immediately reassured by the secure parking. Als has that "home away from home" look. Will definitely stay here again! The people were also kind enough to store our meat in the freezer overnight and were very friendly. Tops!
Very clean and tidy. Was safe.
The Lighthouse Guesthouse was the perfect overnight stop. Good location close to many restaurants with secure parking inside. It may seem a bit busy outside the guest house, but once you drive through the gate it is dead quiet and very safe. The receptionist also gave us the load shedding times, as well as lamps. Will stay here again!
Colesberg is a pitiful stopover between Johannesburg and Cape Town. There are also restaurants and places to eat within easy walking distance of The Lighthouse Guesthouse.
Pleasant experience. Will use again.
Our visit to the Guest House was worth it as a start to our journey. Very comfortable and within walking distance of restaurants. Friendly and very helpful. This is a secure overnight facility. If necessary, we will use their service again.
Perfect place to spend the night. The parking lot is incredibly secure and can accommodate vehicles that need high ground clearance. Near a very good restuarant.
Friendly and efficient.
I enjoyed my stay there, the place was really clean.
Good value for money. Always neat and to the side. Management and staff always helpful.
Friendly service and very helpful.
See stars.
At the end of a long day on the road, there is no better rest than Lighthouse. Neat, cosy, places to eat nearby and parking really safe. You don't pack your vehicle empty for one night's stay.
I have rarely enjoyed such a friendly reception. Several nearby eateries made it easy to get a late meal.
It was bitterly cold in Colesberg, the electric blanket and air conditioner helped a lot.
The staff is very friendly and helpful. The electric blankets and air conditioning kept us warm on a cold night and the spacious rooms made our stay very comfortable. Just be careful when you check in, park at the gas station next door and make sure your doors are locked. The staff will let you in very quickly and show you where your safe parking is.
It was raining when we got there. It was nice to be able to enjoy a cup of coffee.
They even assisted in getting the location right for us as we navigated the area we were not familiar with at night. The allocated room was spacious for our luggage and movement. Liked the availability of a kitchen/dining area where staff prepared the breakfast in your presence.
Rooms were very neat and comfortable - restaurants not really within walking distance - especially for older people. But overall very good service.
Garden and braai facilities could be renovated and more plates to eat out, only had 2 in a 5 bedroom.
We checked in during load shedding as well as on short notice - so it would probably be unfair to judge the scramble during reception as the norm. The room is spacious and comfortable. Do feel the "box" TV could be upgraded and WiFi was weak in room. We were very impressed with the effort made to forward an item that was left behind to us!
Very accommodative and clean also very relaxing after a long drive.
Quite pricey for what you get. There was no photo on the website of the actual room when booking.
After a long day's travel, at least we were able to spend a peaceful night as a family. Was too cold to take a shower in the outdoor bathroom and the water pressure in the unit's bath was so weak that unfortunately we could not bathe or shower. With a disabled son over 2 meters tall, the bed that had a headboard and footboard didn't work for my two big men. But they made the best of bed and got a good night's rest.
No WiFi in the room. Must go to common area for WiFi. DStv only has the basic package and not a wider variety of channels, especially the sports channels.
Colesberg is a very nice village, had a nice visit and slept well.
This guest house is one star or no star. Doesn't belong on the website. Bitterly regret that we discussed here.
Very friendly welcome. Room was as expected.

Very neat place, enough space in the unit, would recommend!
My little dog and I drove down to the Cape alone and it was really nice to stay with them. There was even a water bowl and bed for my dog with a lawn where she could walk around. I also felt safe.
Very neat guest house with everything you need.
Well received and excellent service and assistance.
Nice stay! Close to restaurants, could walk there.
The room was well equipped and we immediately felt at home.
Convenient and comfortable.
No problems. Thank you.
On arrival, we had to ring the two bells three times before service. The shower over the bath was leaking causing low water pressure.
The ad is just misleading. The unit I booked shows there are 2 bathrooms, that's why I booked and what I paid for. The friendly lady who received us informed us that they do not have units with 2 bathrooms. She did say there was an outside bathroom we could use, however in the terrible cold it was not a solution.
We checked in late and drove early, but it was great to catch a warm bed and bath. Friendly reception!
Very good place to sleep.
As an overnight stay it was ok.
The ad is misleading as the unit we booked is definitely not what we got. We booked a two bedroom unit with two bathrooms and paid in advance because there was another single person traveling with us and we got an open plan unit with no privacy as the one bedroom part is open to the rest of the unit, no door . The second bathroom referred to is a shower outside on the porch. We were told they were fully booked, but at the end of the night it was just us and another unit where there were guests. The guest house is located along the busy main street right across from a wholesale shop, definitely not a quiet environment.
Busy and noisy street.
As an avid gardener, we loved the plants and gardens in general. We always used another guesthouse in town, I think we’re set on this one. We loved it.
Everything was clean and tidy with that extra something.
We were received particularly hospitably. The place was very neat and clean. Well located and within walking distance of places to eat. Our overnight stay was particularly peaceful and we resumed our journey refreshed. Thank you very much, will definitely stay here again.
See stars.
Spacious room close to my car and parking lot.
Surprisingly beautiful and carefully furnished with fine detail. I could just stay here a few days longer!
Nice place to sleep.
Very professional and good accommodation.
See stars.
A safe, comfortable overnight stay.
Clean room, safe and secure. Not far from pubs and restaurants.
As brother and sister touring together we got two rooms instead of one double room as well as breakfast which was not originally included.
See stars.
Great and professional reception. Spacious and tidy room. Beautiful old furniture. Good recommendations for dinner (Innie Kraal). Very, very good food and good atmosphere.
Room neat and clean. Service excellent.
The accommodation was beautiful and tidy and nice and spacious. Service excellent and location very good and safe.
It may not look like much when you look at the outside of this guest house. But inside the street noise is gone, the mountain peeks over the wall and the rooms are very luxurious! A very big plus for us was the location of the guest house, it's nice and close to all the places to eat.
Comfortable, secure accommodation.
The customer service at Lighthouse Guesthouse was fantastic. We were welcomed with open arms, the room was lovely and the air conditioning helped to cool off! Ideally centrally located, close to all the great eateries Colesberg has to offer. This is our standard overnight stop between Johannesburg and Cape Town and they will see us again soon.
Very nice stay. Centrally located on the main street.
Nice quiet area, safe. The room and bathroom were excellent. The service was also very good.
Pleasant experience, definitely recommended for any traveler.
The Lighthouse proved to be a wonderful, warm, clean and extremely comfortable overnight stay.
We were on our way to the Wildlife Park and spent the night there. Was very impressed with the cleanliness and hospitality. Car was also very safe. Breakfast was also value for money. Will definitely spend the night there again on the way North.
Very beautiful place.
Had a very nice stay, will definitely do so again.
Really a nice place to stay.
Comfortable and clean accommodation in Colesberg within walking distance of all restaurants and shops.
Very friendly reception and very helpful. The cottage was beautiful, neat and clean. Will definitely use them again.
Very enjoyable. Can recommend it.
Very neat, child-friendly, good service and very clean.
This guest house is very conveniently located in the center of town. Easy to find and with prompt service we were taken to our room straight away. Safety is very important to me and even though the guest house is on a busy street, they lock the gate and all the cars and guests are safe. Bedrooms are nicely and comfortably furnished.
Hospitable and helpful, clean.
Pleasant and friendly staff. Fantastic service and beautiful room. You can see nothing is too much trouble for you to look after your guests.
Spacious rooms, neat and clean.
Very hospitable. Had a nice place to hang out in front of the room! Conveniently close to everything!
After an 8 hour long drive, The Lighthouse Guesthouse was a peaceful place to stop and spend the night. We checked in early and were escorted to the unit we booked. Parking for both our vehicle and trailer was right next to the unit. As requested, we gave advance notice that we were traveling with a trailer. The children could play and run around and didn't seem to disturb anyone. The unit was neat and well furnished. Will definitely choose The Lighthouse Guesthouse again as a midway stop.
The air conditioning in the room is essential in the summer and was really welcome. Very calm and quiet. One does not hear the other guests. DStv in room with plenty of channels to choose from. The most beautiful Karoo garden imaginable.
The service was very good. They made sure everything was in order with the booking and what we needed.
Clean, comfortable and very tidy. Beautiful furniture. Located on the main street but it was quiet and peaceful without any noise. We felt safe enough to walk to a nearby eatery.
Thank you Maretha for the warm welcome, beautiful and comfortable, clean accommodation, crisp linen and safe parking for our cars.
We were kindly received and had a nice rest in the comfortable room before we continued our journey the next day.
Very clean and a nice big room. Very comfortable evening, will definitely stay there again.
The only gripe is the bed. A very uncomfortable night as the bed was too small for me and my husband whom is tall and a big guy. So we left feeling more tired than when we arrived.
Rooms are clean and tidy with air conditioning (much needed in the heat of the summer sun). What's really nice is that there are a few restaurants within walking distance of the accommodation. When we had just finished unpacking for the evening, we immediately hit the road to get something to eat (with a baby stroller).
Had a great sleep. Beds comfortable. Great air conditioning. Access click. However, shower facilities are missing. And please better coffee
Very good service and very clean.
Reception was very generous thank you.
Friendly service with lovely rooms.
Friendly, clean, spacious!
It was very nice clean and stylish.
Very nice, very helpful.
Highly recommended.
Was neat, clean, and safe, beautiful rooms.
The Lighthouse was a convenient stopover between Pretoria and Wilderness. The accommodation is dog friendly and we and our two miniature schnauzers had a lovely stay in the homely Butterfly Cottage with its cheerfully painted corridor wall, curtains and the most beautiful antique furniture that makes you feel safe. The bedding is crisp and towels are fluffy. The small garden is especially refreshing on a hot summer evening in the Karoo. The secure parking behind a gate off the street is a bonus.
Fulfilled our requirements, could take our pet along.
The place was very neat and slept very well without any problems.
The only problem is possible interference from adjoining rooms. We were in room no 4. In one of the adjacent rooms was a man and woman who talked until very late. They had no respect for other guests. This resulted in us having a very bad night because little sleep
The place was brilliant and would stay there again.
Good nice service. Nice stay.
We had a completely comfortable stay for one night.
Baie vriendelike personeel en behulpsaam. Sal vir seker weer daar oornag.
We have stayed at the Lighthouse a few times now and it remains a winner. Will definitely do so again.
We arrived on Saturday afternoon and it was just excellent from arrival to departure. I will recommend this place to any person or family looking for accommodation in Colesberg. The hostess' efforts with the load shedding was impeccable. The service truly was excellent.
Excellent thank you. My dogs can also stay here next time.
Baie Goed. Sal aanbeveel.
Slept at the room units in Loch Street. The room was very clean and tidy and is walking distance from restaurants. The room has air conditioning which helped a lot for the hot Karoo evening. Good customer service and reception.
Very friendly hosts, relaxing environment, had an excellent stay.
The family room was spacious, convenient, clean and neat. Safe parking. 2 and 4 year old could stretch their legs after the long road.
Clean and safe. Friendly and helpful.
We found the stay very pleasant. Very central. Neat and spacious.
As it was a Saturday night, breakfast was not available on Sunday morning, but we did not know this in advance. We think we paid for bed and breakfast. Convenient off-street parking. Fridge, stove and tea and coffee making facilities not in the room itself, just down the hall.
It was so truly South African, hospitable and everything worked in the room, from the WiFi to the TV.
Very pretty room and very good service from Blackie and the other people. Close to good restaurant. Very nice breakfast.
We booked in for an overnight stop home. The rooms were clean and the place was perfect.
We had a wonderful stay and the rooms were beautiful, clean and tidy. We immediately felt at home and the hospitality, friendliness and customer service was great! The location on the main street is not the best, as there were quite a lot of trucks passing by, but in the evening when we wanted to sleep it was wonderfully quiet. At least the location is otherwise good, as the Lighthouse is easy to find and there are beautiful sights on the main street such as the beautiful NG Church building and lots of nice restaurants and places to eat. We also felt safe at all times and had a great time walking around the streets of Colesberg and looking at everything.
Great service and very tidy, with secure parking.
Would recommend the place for a comfortable night's rest and safe parking in Colesberg.
Reception was friendly and everything was neat and clean.
Satisfied with service and cleanliness, the one shower was just a little weak with the water pressure and difficult to mix, then too hot and then too cold.
We had a good night's sleep and friendly reception. Beautiful interior.
We stayed at Lighthouse for one night on our way back home from Mossel Bay. The family room was nice and spacious with 2 separate rooms. Everything was clean and tidy. There is also ample secure parking and is within walking distance to a restaurant. Will definitely use them again.
Received in a friendly manner by a interesting lady that I met long ago, Tannie Blackie. I asked whether we could braai that evening and special arrangements were made in this regard. The rooms were clean and neat and the garden was lovely to sit and relax in after a long day on the road. At first I was afraid that the busy road in front of the guest house would be annoying, but I must admin that it wasn't any bother at all.
Very good value for money!
Lighthouse is very neat and clean. The rooms are nice and spacious. Unfortunately there were quite a few stains on our duvet, making it unacceptable. The loose carpets in the sleeping unit were also dirty. The sleeping units are so spacious, one can incorporate a small kitchen area through good space design, then there is no need to use the one in the hallway. Furthermore, it is really very cute and neat.
Although the room was neat enough, the location is not the greatest: off the main street and there is literally nothing to do in Colesberg. Even went to the local museum, which was a total disappointment. Colesberg is best regarded as a stop-over, but don't arrive too early as there is not much to do in town. The room was adequate, but we were eaten alive by the mosquitoes: there were so many of them we could not sleep and no insect repellent in the room, other than Doom for crawling insects. The owners should inform guests beforehand to pack Tabard and insect repellent. We did not expect mosquitoes in Colesberg and that in March. We were forced to use the sheet as a mosquito net, which meant sleeping with the sheet over ones head. We even tried to blow them away with the ceiling fan and put the air-con on its coldest and full ball, but this did not deter them at all. Not a great experience.
I would definitely recommend it to others.
Friendly welcome, in a nicely furnished house near excellent restaurants.
Excellent stay. Can recommend!
We stopped here on the way to Cape Town (from Potchefstroom) and had a wonderful night's rest. The guest house is very clean and tidy and also safe and quiet. Our room's bathroom was beautiful. There is also indoor parking for one's car. Would recommend to anyone. The rest of Colesberg is not so promising - just take food with you.
I will never stay at another place again when I go down to the Cape. Absolutely fantastic and at a very good price.
Beautiful, clean and tidy. After a day's driving it was wonderful to be able to unpack at the Lighthouse. We were kindly received and immediately made to feel at home. Can recommend the Lighthouse any day.
Was very neat and clean. Owners are very hospitable and the breakfast was very well done.
I would definitely recommend The Lighthouse Guesthouse - to tell the truth, I already have. Our evening was really pleasant and we could rest for the long road ahead.
Friendly service, very neat and comfortable. Exactly as advertised.
When we arrived we had a warm welcome and they ensured that we were comfortable and know where to eat. Brian helped us to park our trailer and carried our suitcases. The accommodation is neat and clean with enough space for a family.
We were welcomed warmly in spite of arriving late. The rooms are spacious and comfortable with everything one would expect from an overnight stay.
Ideal place to spend the night en route to the Cape!
Will recommend it to everyone.
Lovely guest house with personal service. Very central and also quiet at night.
Was very nice to spend the night there, the place was very nice and clean. Will definitely stay there again.
Will come again, thank you very much.
Friendly reception, room was neat and clean with the necessary facilities for one night's stay.
The room was a big surprise for us. It was beautiful and clean. We could refresh our tired bodies there.
We had a lovely overnight stay at The Lighthouse Guesthouse, and would definitely stay there again.
All right, just a pity the power was off until after eight. At least it was Eskom that worked on it, so not The Lighthouse's fault.
Thank you very much. Will definitely stay there again.
Very neat and clean - just a pity breakfast wasn't included for the price. The aircon was a big bonus.
Very friendly welcome, wonderful overnight stay in a spacious room. Als was perfect! Places to eat within walking distance. Als was clean and tidy. Thank you.
The Lighthouse Guesthouse provides comfortable accommodation for all travellers. Thanks for the friendly service. Untill next time.
See the ratings.
Pleasant etc lovely house, nice beds.
Clean neat and luxurious, would definitely recommend.
Thank you very much. Hospitality of the owner was excellent.
So nice and private! I'm definitely coming back to Colesberg... home! To Lighthouse!
We had a great stay at Lighthouse. Everyone was very friendly and everything was in its place. We will stay at Lighthouse Guesthouse again in the future.
Will definitely stay there again. Tasteful decor and overall cleanliness was a big plus.
Aircon in the rooms helped a lot.
It was our second time at Lighthouse. Comfortable, affordable for a family of 4. Also great for guests who has to depart early without breakfast. Will go back.
Very neat and tidy rooms. But in summer without air conditioner it will just grind
We had a good night's sleep.
See the rating.
We were received very kindly and our accommodation was clean, spacious and comfortable. The restaurant options were good and it was valuable that menus were provided in the room.
It was a lovely place to take a break on our long journey to the Cape.
Lovely, safe and peaceful for an overnight stay at home.
It was a comfortable and pleasant evening.
Very friendly managers and staff!
Had a nice stay. Coffee in the kitchen could have been of better quality.
See the stars.
The place is rather old, but clean, with most basics in place. We were rather surprised to learn the morning of our departure that breakfast was not included in the price, which was rather high compared to other places we stayed at on our way to Cape Town through the Eastern Cape. We were not asked whether we wanted breakfast nor told that it will be extra should we want it, when we checked in. We took a walk trough the part of town where the lighthouse is situated and there were a few other places which looked much more interesting. There are lots of B&B's in Colesberg and I am sorry that I didn't take more time to search around - despite the fact that we only stayed for one night.
Colesberg as a town is dirty and lack maintenance. The guesthouse is poorly organised, no tea or coffee in the rooms, must use a communal kitchen. Parking is not properly allocated. Of all the guesthouses I find the Lighthouse the least appealing.
No warm water and blocked basin. Dirty couch in room. Gruesome TV remote. I choose to forfeit my already paid booking of 15 August and went to Travalia in Drie Susters.
Very quiet and very clean and tidy. Was able to relax and rest before the next day's return journey.
The welcoming was very friendly and warm. The room is the best! We slept very well, because the overnight accommodation is situated in a very peaceful site.
A beautiful place to stay. Owner was helpful and friendly. Accommodation was awesome and garden lovely! Clean, neat and tidy.
Our stay was a wonderful experience. We were received very kindly and escorted to our room and all the facilities were explained to us. Places to eat were booked and recommended according to our needs. Definitely value for money accommodation compared to many others in Colesberg.
Comfortable beds. Quiet, dark rooms if you don't sleep on the side of the road.
Everything was 100% ready for us upon our arrival and our room was very neat, well furnished and the location is excellent. Highly recommended for travelers!
Premises in beautiful and well-kept condition. Beautiful antique furniture. Friendly, helpful management.
Nice and quiet, private and safe with secure parking for your vehicle.
Host and wife incredibly friendly. Room spacious with comfortable double bed. I can definitely recommend "The Lighthouse". Good value for money. "Honeymoon Suite" is spacious with a bathtub. Thank goodness!
Lovely stay in family unit with secure parking (we had bikes in back of vehicle). Rooms are furnished with character. Restaurant options are within walking distance. Will stay here again!
Clean and tidy. Friendly staff. Would definitely recommend.
Nice, clean and tidy. Value for money!
The room was very clean and tidy just a little small. The safety is of excellent quality. The hostess was very friendly and helpful.
The person who met us was quite strange and didn't exactly make us feel welcome. I suspect he was in a hurry to watch a TV show. The room was neat and offered what we want. Vehicle parking is safe and good.
Everything was clean and tidy, and there were many places to eat within walking distance. Had a great time. Will use Lighthouse again.
Very helpful. Rooms spacious and tidy, a bit old-fashioned. Linen was excellent, just too few blankets available, especially when it starts to get cold.
The cottage that we had was adequate for the night that we spent there. We suggest that they put a microwave-friendly dish in the kitchen for guests who want to prepare food and not get takeaways.
See the stars.
The location of the room was a problem. The guest house is located on a busy street, so there was constant traffic. If I were to stay there again, I would ask for a room at the back of the guest house.
The rooms were well appointed and clean.
We stayed 1 night, the facilities were neat and as expected, but there was no help with luggage and no breakfast available. I am a single parent with two toddlers, so help with unpacking would be greatly appreciated.
Room probably 4 meters from road where trucks pass all night. We booked 2 rooms. We were placed in rooms that were as far apart as possible. No dining facilities. No KykNet. It was old and dirty. It's also on the wrong side of town. The guest house is not worth the name guest house, whoever did the rating was asleep.
The accommodation, although clean, is in dire need of an upgrade. We felt as though we were sleeping in a museum! It even had that old musty smell. The TV only had 3 channels mostly in languages that we do not understand and when we found an English show, we had to watch a 30 year old episode of Dallas! With nothing else on offer we ventured out into the dark Main Street and had to scamper past a large gathering of shouting and scuffling locals.
On our way back from Knysna to Johannesburg, we thought it would be good to stop over in Colesberg to rest for the evening. What a mistake! Upon our arrival at the guest house, we were first received as if we were a problem. We were looked at with a feeling of 'how dare you knock here?' We were not asked at all if we would like to enjoy breakfast the next morning. By evening time, we drove about half an hour out of town for food, because no one could suggest a restaurant. We never saw the owner of the guesthouse again after we arrived. We ate our takeaways after first having to walk through the entire guest house to locate plates. I went to make coffee in the dirtiest kitchen ever and noticed that ALL the doors were open. Every dear door that entered the guest house from the outside was open. I will never stay here again in my life. An unsafe, grumpy place.
The reception was pathetic. We didn't even feel welcome at all. The shower was not clean. The carpets were full of dust. My daughter was lying on the bed and something bit her. There are not 3 restaurants opposite the guest house as stated. There is 1 opposite and the other 2 are further up the street. There was no place I would take my kids for dinner. WiFi is free, but there is no signal. The guest house is located in a bad location. I expected 3 single beds but got a double and a single bed. Overall it was an experience I don't want to have again. We left after 2 hours and drove on to Cape Town where we didn't arrive until midnight.
Reception was very friendly. Room neat and clean.
Wonderful place to spend the night and rest recommend everyone to check in there! Many thanks for the staff's kindness and helpfulness...

Beautiful units, with electric sheets for the cold winter, good mattresses and safe, spacious parking in front of the unit. The best accommodation in Colesberg!

The rooms' decor is beautiful, and they were well equipped for the cold. We were received with friendly service. Would recommend Lighthouse to anyone looking for accommodation in Colesberg!
Friendly and hospitable accommodation in "nice" and modern rooms. The warm blanket was a big plus for the winter. The mutton neck pizza was "great" at JC's.

The guesthouse was very good. We just slept there on the way to Cape Town. It was nice and clean, and we slept well. The Plattelander Restaurant is within walking distance of the guest house. It was excellent.
Friendly people and nice atmosphere.
Would recommend for people to stay over!
The host/hostess was jovial, friendly and made an effort to meet our needs. The room is spacious and very comfortable. Upgrading the bathroom may be considered in the future. It doesn't really fit in with the antique (Victorian) feel of the room and the layout is more reminiscent of the early sixties (retro). It also only has a bath in it and a shower/bath combination would be really welcome to accommodate both preferences. A small hair dryer was provided but the power plug was a two prong and there was no two prong power plug anywhere to be found - so the hair dryer could not be used at all. There was no water in the water jug either. It is mentioned that coffee/biscuits are provided in the morning - but we could not locate the biscuits anywhere. Perhaps there could be more focus on this type of detail in the future?
We had a very nice stay. The guest house is conveniently located on the main street, although you can hear the cars and trucks passing by all the time. The place was clean and tidy, especially the bathroom. You can walk to restaurants.
We were kindly received and assigned parking, which was nice and close to the room. The bathroom and bedroom were extremely tidy, and the beds very comfortable.
The caretaker can easily get a course in proper customer service - and he must know that he must be available to the guests at all times.
We didn't get the room we booked. No air conditioning or fridge. Room is in the street! The bar-restaurant is directly opposite the room so there was a lot of noise.
Would stay there again, great value for money, clean and very helpful friendly people running the Guesthouse.
Bathroom very comfortable for me.
The guest house met all our expectations!
We had a very nice stay. Clean and tidy. Nice warm sleep...
Good stay.

Great host, great place, great service. Would definitely revisit & recommend to other people.
A good guesthouse.
Excellent location and very comfortable. Have stayed in several B and B's and this one rates among the best that we have stayed in. Room was very clean and comfortable. Will definitely recommend The Lighthouse.
Wonderful experience, will certainly visit again.
Ideal for spending the night. I will stay again even though it was a bit noisy (trucks), as it is in the center of town.
Had a good stay at Lighthouse.
Wonderful location, great customer service.
