Southern Light Country House

The place was clean and calm.

Nothing

The guest house is in a brilliant location with beautiful gardens

The swimming pool was not clean

The venue was in a great spot, with outstanding views and facilities. Staff couldn't do enough for us and had great sense of humour. Facilities were all in good order.

The staff were lovely and very helpful. The breakfast was nice and the rooms were large and immaculately clean. Comfortable beds and a very good value laundry service. It is also a great location in the heart of Constantia. The gardens were well kept.

Unfortunately the pool area is in poor repair, the pool itself needs refurbishing and although the pool guy tried to keep it clean it was surrounded by trees so constantly had leaves and tree debris in it. Also the surroundings were very dusty and not cleaned during our 3 week stay. One of the problems was the huge building site next door. We were not informed of this before our stay so noise and dust were a constant Monday to Friday from 7.30am until 6pm. There were also 2 private events during our stay which meant the garden and pool area were out of bounds for us guest house residents for the entire day and evening on a consecutive Friday and Saturday. The weddings were very noisy with one in particular being very loud until midnight. Again, we had not been informed in advance. The communal areas felt very tired and a bit neglected. Even our room balcony was surrounded by dying plants and was obviously very noisy and dusty due the building work next door.
