Loadshedding Facilities

What is loadshedding? It refers to the temporary suspension of electricity provided by Eskom, South Africa's electricity provider, to reduce consumption and thereby the load on the national grid. To compensate, South African property owners are turning to solar power, inverters with backup batteries or in some cases generators to keep the power on, wherever feasible.

Verified reviewgood

A lovely location snd we were upgraded from a rondavel to a luxury room. But the menu was very limited and the staff were friendly but offhand making us feel a nuisance at times. Overall we enjoyed our stay but wouldn�t try rush back.
