South AfricaIt was very peaceful, safe and secure with helpful friendly staff. The manager was very friendly, helpful and appeared very interested in us and gave us lots of advice. He made us laugh. The housekeeper is a lovely gentle lady who was very welcoming. The staff obviously get on very well as a team and they were caring of each other and towards us. The decor of the rooms and the guesthouse is very classy and well designed, which added to the experience. The mattress was extremely comfortable, we slept so well. Lovely garden, pool and tennis court. Ample parking. The area has good security. We would totally recommend Southern Light guest house.

GermanyHet was geweldig vertoeven hier. De locatie is prachtig. Dichtbij het prachtige Kirstenbosch. De locatie is rustig en gelegen in een prachtige wijk. De tuin is meer dan mooi en onze kamer met balkon was top. Vanaf ons balkon hadden we uitzicht op de tuin. Het personeel is erg vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Het ontbijt is heerlijk. Ieder ochtend keuze uit warm ontbijt, daarnaast is de rest van het ontbijt ook heel erg uitgebreid.

GermanyDer Hotel Manager Fidel ist eine hilfreiche und humorvolle Seele von Mensch,der uns sogar ermöglicht hat, das Zimmer noch am Abreisetag bis zum späten Nachmittag zu nutzen und kurzerhand eine Autowäsche organisiert. Die Villenlage mit großem Garten incl. Hauspfau, Katze und Hund und Nähe zu Groot Constantia ist sehr schön und ruhig. Das frisch zubereitete Frühstück lässt keine Wünsche offen.
