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. Thank... More

I stayed here for 3 nights this last December and would never return. On arrival I was shown to my room and given a key by the cleaner (who was friendly) and I never saw any management until I paid on the last day. There is a list of what to do and not to do in your room but... More

We stayed in a Honeymoon/Family suite and found it to be spacious, immaculate and well equipped with everything we'd expect at a 5 star luxury hotel (except perhaps... More

From the organization side to service, breakfast and support, everything was perfect. The rooms are of exceptional modern design and the house is located inbetween big forests. Very tranquil and beautiful. The host Maxi has really gone out of her way to make this an unforgettable experience.
