We were down in Cape Town for a friend's wedding and decided to try Southern Light Guesthouse as it was close to the venue. We were pleasantly surprised upon arrival and we really enjoyed just relaxing by the pool for a whiel. The garden is lovely and great just to sit on the patio and relax with the view. The... More

We thoroughly enjoyed being spoiled in the luxury of Southern Light. What makes it even better is that is set in a lovely mountain and forest surrounding secluded from the hustle and bustle of the city

We stayed here in February 2013 on a last-minute booking (groupon) for a weekend away (we are actually locals, unlike most of the other guests at the establishment!). Upon arrival, our host showed us to our room (without actually introducing himself, but anyway). The room was spacious enough (garden view room) and well equipped. Very happy with the mini bar...

Spent 21/2 weeks in the wonderful surrounding of Constantia. The house and the rooms are very comfortable (good beds!!) everything is clean and comfrtable. Downtown Cape Town is close enough and traffic and noise are far enough to be not audible. So what do you need more to relax ?? Dr. Ronny and Christine Spiel

Our room was a suite and very nice too. Maxi is a very generous host and her parents are a pleasure. We will be returning... More

We stayed - family, 2 kids 9&12, over the busy holiday period for 5 nights here as our base in Cape Town. Secure, friendly and supremely comfortable. Garden is wonderful and the place felt like an oasis of calm. The problem was rousing ourselves to sightsee! Staff very efficient and friendly and Maxi helpful beyond the call of duty in... More

We spent our anniversary weekend at this country house and was pleasantly surprised by the beauty of this location. Big grounds complimented by greenery everywhere - it is somewhat of a hidden gem in nature. Our room was spacious and beautiful and overlooked the tennis courts and grounds outside. Breakfasts were delightful and staff friendly and accommodating.

I recently stayed at Southern Light for a week while on a business trip to Cape Town. I found Maxi and staff to be warm, happy and hard-working. The premises are lovely, tranquil and private, providing an oasis to recharge and rejuvenate after long days at work. I took full advantage of the delicious breakfasts, pool and laundry service.
