KelopileSouth AfricaWonderful
I like the peace we had. No noise and no disturbance
The shower. While we were taking a shower, water will be all over the bathroom because the shower had no shower door
BoitumeloSouth AfricaThe place is very nice, the bed was so comfortable and warm because of the electric blanket the host left on for us because we arrived late at night and it was a little chilly. There's filtered water available.

Nothing
MDawarimaLSThe host was absolutely wonderful. Made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived.
Only drawback was probably the absence of a shower door/curtain.

- Whether there is room for a pickup, a trailer or a van, not just a car.
- Whether breakfast is in the rate or added at checkout, and what time it runs.
- Whether the rate moves for your dates, and what it includes.
- What the property actually charges at the desk on top of the rate.
Questions about The Lantern Guesthouse
What time is check-in and check-out at The Lantern Guesthouse?
Check-in is from 2:00 PM. Check-out is by 10:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
Does The Lantern Guesthouse allow pets?
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Is there parking at The Lantern Guesthouse?
Yes — the property states that parking on site is free. Whether a space can be reserved in advance varies, so we check it against your dates.
Does The Lantern Guesthouse have a pool?
Yes — a pool is listed among the property's facilities. Seasonal closures are common, so we'll confirm it's open for your dates.
Is breakfast included at The Lantern Guesthouse?
Breakfast is offered at the property. Whether it's included depends on the rate — the board type is shown on each room once you put your dates in.
Does The Lantern Guesthouse have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Does The Lantern Guesthouse have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
How do I book The Lantern Guesthouse?
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
