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.

Incredible place to experience the majesty and beauty of the berg. Special little bench tucked away to sit and have your early coffee while enjoying the silence. Outside shower was an unexpected delight. Equipped well and very comfortable. Will be back again!
