I loved the beautiful architecture and grounds, the large rooms and tall ceilings, the comfy bed and gorgeous marble bathroom. Breakfast was good with lots of options from toasts, muffins, eggs made to order, sauteed mushrooms, drinks made to order, cereals, yogurts, and more.

I was disappointed that there were no staff around on our second evening. We got there around 8 and assumed the water pitcher would be full. We had no water and were thirsty and couldnt find any staff on site. Service was ok but not especially friendly.

We loved the quiet surroundings, being in nature, it felt like we were in a completely different town , the pool was amazing, the room was comfortable, the days we were there were really hot so the aircon is the room was absolute pleasure. Everything about Southern Light is amazing. We also loved the breakfasts and the staff and hosts were consistently friendly, accommodating and really just a pleasure to be around.

There wasn't anything we didn't like, we were so impressed we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to everyone.

It was so beautiful and serene, if my partner and I could've stayed longer, we definitely would have. Khanita and the staff there were extremely helpful and never hesitated to assist. One of the highlights of our stay was Milo, he gave my partner and I the warmest greeting when we came and followed us around everywhere.

When my partner and I arrived, the toilet was running, and we were told that they couldn't fix it. Anyways, my partner was able to fix it later that evening. Just a heads up, there's no 2 prong plugs in the room, but you can ask for one at reception.

Beautiful country house in a really nice area of Cape Town (Constantia Heights) with only a couple (7 if I'm right) of really nice rooms. Two rooms have their own balcony/terrace and three have outside seating overlooking the nice garden. The pool is very nice (with some TLC it would have been excellent) and catches shade from the trees by the end of the afternoon. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Breakfast is nice too.

Not much actually but if I have to mention one thing it would be the fan. Ours was noisy (and partly broken) so not very helpful on those warm nights.

The location was perfect and very peaceful looking out on the grounds surrounded by trees. The breakfast was exactly what I needed after a very long flight. The staff accommodated a late check-in. The owners/managers (Ayah and her husband) were very friendly and professional. They went above and beyond and dropped me off at my new accommodation when I didn’t have much success with an Uber.

The most warm welcome from the team who run the property, who call you by your first name and really care about you and your stay. I felt like part of the family! Amazing staff, the grounds were lovely and the bedroom was super comfortable. The grounds are were very beautiful and the breakfast was stand out - chef makes an omelette for you fresh and near to your table!

The hotel was very clean. Staff were extremely friendly. The breakfast was delicious.

We asked for breakfast to be prepared early as we were supposed to fly at 9. We agreed to 6:30 but the staff didn't arrive and we had to go without breakfast even though it was paid for.

The breakfast was okay nothing great or outstanding can make a few improvements.

The breakfast as we expected more variety and the pool was not accessible on arrival due to a previous function and the when we left because they were setting up for another function.
