The Southern Light Country House is located in the Constantia winelands. The accommodation being Halaal, did not allow alcohol on the property. We would have appreciated knowing about this in advance of our booking.
Beautiful gardens and the staff was great.

Only discovered on arrival that the guest house is Halal and therefore no alcohol was permitted on the premises. Not an issue on this trip as we were there for the 2 Oceans Marathon. Would have been though if we were there for a time out from Johannesburg and fancied a gin and tonic on our patio. I have checked and this info was not disclosed anywhere that I could find except on other guests reviews, which I neglected to check at the time of booking.
Very comfortable room and friendly staff. Delicious breakfast on the patio overlooking the stunning garden.

I didn't like that I had to go out for lunch or dinner. The management should propose a Two Ocean Marathon package with lunch and diner. Early full breakfast for runners should be arranged.

“Roamantic stay in Constantia”
- • Leisure trip

- • Stayed 3 nights
there was a constant noise in room No. 2 (upstairs) an we moved to No. 1 which was way better and no noise at all..thanks to the management.
Constantia is one of the nicest areas in Cape Town and very quiet! The guest house is certified as Halal, but for non-muslims it doesn`t bother you (no bacon, just "macon"). The room (executive) was nice and quiet and we had a comfortable stay here. Some ants in the room are caused by the ivy outside the rooms...so just pure nature. But as this B&B is so beautiful (e.g. romantic terrace for breakfast) all other concerns are eliminated! Breakfast was very good and with a variety of joghurts and warm sides. Enjoyed our stay!
