We value the feedback of our guests!

Achieving 5 years in a row the `Certificate of Excellence` is honored by being a "Hall of Fame" member now - thank you everybody!

A guesthouse is ment to offer a more 'private' and individual athmosphere then staying in a hotel for example - but without missing all the comfort guest will expect from modern hotels.

We unerstand our job this way and work hard to make the wishes of our guests come true and let them have the most enjoyable stay possible! Looks like we are doing well in this mission, getting good critics the fith season in a row now. Not many are able to achieve this highly decorated award - we will not sleep on this but keep going - promise!

Some citation from recent reviews:

• Arne Schultz – November 2025 Dreamlike Family Vacation in Somerset West (First Visit to South Africa) We spent two wonderful weeks as a family at Guesthouse Southern Cross with Laura & Leo and can wholeheartedly recommend both the guesthouse and the hosts! The rooms and the entire guesthouse are well-equipped and very clean, with a stunning view and location. The garden and communal area are beautifully designed and invite you to enjoy breakfast outdoors. The hosts are warm, helpful, and go out of their way to fulfill every guest’s wishes. Since this was our first time in South Africa, safety was an important concern for us beforehand. We felt completely safe throughout our entire stay.
• omoalu – November 2025 (Johannesburg, South Africa)A Home Away from Home Leo and Laura were wonderful hosts throughout our stay. The accommodation was comfortable and newly renovated. I would definitely return!
