Coniston Guest House, approximately one kilometer from the N1, is situated in the centre of the town of Colesberg near the large Dutch Reformed Church.
It is a historical Heritage house built by the ancestors of the owner Michael Southey in 1835 and has never left the ownership of the family since that date.

Coniston House is one of the few examples of genuine double storey Cape Georgian architecture, with the classic proportions, in the country.

Accommodation
Set behind ancient pepper trees, among standard roses and lavender, next to a stonewalled sloot with water tinkling over the weirs, Coniston Guest House offers accommodation in several categories;
The Manor House, Coach House and Stables and the Garden Cottage. The latter, set on the koppie, is also shaded by pepper trees.

Coniston Guest House offers a choice of family suites of two rooms (one with double bed, the other with twin beds) en-suite bathroom with bath or shower, suites with double bed and en-suite bath or shower, or rooms with twin beds and en-suite shower.
A cot and extra mattresses are available on request. Coniston House is furnished throughout with antiques and family heirlooms.
