Dan Pienaar, Bloemfontein
A family-owned sanctuary offering warm hospitality for business and leisure travellers in the heart of Bloemfontein's northern suburbs.
Our Story
Tucked away in the peaceful northern suburb of Dan Pienaar, The Lantern Guesthouse was born from a simple belief: that every guest deserves to feel truly welcomed — not just accommodated.
We pour genuine care into every detail, from a freshly made bed and a well-stocked coffee station to a sparkling pool on a sunny Bloemfontein afternoon. Whether you're here for a business trip or a family getaway, we make it feel personal.
"Comfort, warmth, and a little something extra — that's the Lantern way."

Loved by Guests
A few of the kind things travellers have said after their stay — every review is verified on Google.
The place was exceptional — the friendliness of the owner and staff. I had a special request for my husband and they really surprised me. It was lovely and romantic, my husband loved it. We really enjoyed staying at Lantern Guesthouse. I would recommend it again and again.
The accommodation was in a nice, quiet area, and the host, Nicolette, was incredibly warm and welcoming. I loved the aesthetic of the room — very nice, cozy, and beautifully put together. I'm definitely returning to this place again.
Wow wow wow! Our overnight stay was absolutely amazing. Beautiful modern room, comfy bed with all the mod cons — temperature-controlled air conditioning, Wi-Fi and smart TV. We cannot recommend it enough.
