Lighthouse Accommodation in South Africa
“South Africa has 45 lighthouses, of which only 18 are still run by keepers, the rest given over to modern technology. In order for the port authorities to realise an income, eight of the staffed lighthouses have been refurbished and now offer self-catering accommodation. The old keepers’ cottages are peaceful and secure. Staying in a lighthouse for a night or a few days is an encounter you will never forget.
The various locations of the refurbished lighthouses are as exotic and varied as you can ask for. From Great Fish Point (Port Alfred) to Cape Columbine (Paternoster), you will not only have the sea and beach at your feet, but game reserves, hiking trails, rivers, wild flower reserves, golf courses and shopping at the nearest village or town.
For booking information, call the National Ports Authority on 021-449-2400 or e-mail salato@npa.co.za.”
