Why The Light House is So Unique

What makes The Light House Boutique Suites in Paarl such a unique and splendid location, is that it’s run by a group of very special and dynamic people.

Together with their dedicated team, Darrol and Hendrik have formulated the magic ingredients for a one-of-a-kind guest experience.

Surrounded by the Cape Winelands, the Paarl Valley is less than an hour’s drive out of the city. Once you arrive at this leafy enclave in its tranquil setting, you will be whisked away to another world. That other world is closely based on luxurious Hamptons living, and you will be so pleasantly surprised by the personal touches of this very bespoke guest house.

The delightful team – headed up by Darrol Buckton and Hendrik du Toit – bring a vast mix of rich experiences in design, theatre, haute couture, wedding and event planning, as well as a passion for great food, and service excellence.

“Everyone has a dream about their wedding. But, the wedding is only the visual accessory to the marriage.”

Along with personal investment in their staff and guests, Darrol believes that it all comes down to respect, and refers to their approach to hospitality as the Engagement Experience, something which we are missing in today’s fast-paced technological era. Darrol sums it up perfectly, “Social media has become an anaesthetic, and has replaced touch in the human engagement experience. This is what we aim to achieve here at The Light House.”
