The Light House Guest House is a purpose-built, furnished, short stay room on the second floor, with an on suite bathroom and private deck in Glencairn Heights, Simons Town, Western Cape, South Africa. It is the ideal breakaway spot for couples or single persons, to explore the Deep South or to simply relax and soak up the majestic sea views that the Indian ocean offers. The changing seasons give you a chance to spot the Southern Right Whales (September/October), Orcas, schools of dolphins, surfing seals, sharks, or flocks of bird life migrating. In winter one can truly experience front row seats while watching the Cape storms blow out across the seas. In summer, the South Easter wind can blow at times, giving the kite surfers a real fun adventure. The immediate valley and surrounds offer surfing, kayaking, scuba diving, snorkeling, and free-diving opportunities, adventures, and lessons. For the not-so-active persons, strolls on the beach, wine tasting, or sun downers at some of the fantastic restaurants close by, will not disappoint you.

The Roman Rock Light House in the distance was fully automated in 1919, acetylene gas flashes visible from thirteen nautical miles out to sea now brighten the Cape sky once every six seconds with a power of 5000 CD, to guide South African naval boats home.

Your hosts Jenny and Chris welcome you to share in the experience of exploring the Deep South, the nature, the wildlife, the restaurants, and all that this unique valley has to offer.
