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.

My partner and I visited Berghuisie in June, 2024 and spent the weekend in complete luxury! The location on the dam was absolutely stunning, the views priceless and the peace we enjoyed for the weekend was perfect. The cottage with its glass walls, views of the dam and wildlife, comfort and coziness was perfect! We love being off grid and Berghuisie fulfilled all we were looking for. Annatjie warmly welcomed us on arrival and immediately made us feel at home. She was very reachable when we had questions. We went on a game drive with Alwyn that evening and learned so much about the area and I was able to see animals I've never seen, what a treat for this American girl! We ordered our proteins before arrival: Springbok, Gemsbok, lamb and chickens, and we have loved eating them since returning home. We cooked the Gemsbok while there and it was delicious! I was able to reach Annatjie for cooking recommendations on how to prepare the Gemsbok - I was so appreciative as I wasn't sure how to make it! They delivered to us fresh Vetkoek that was so kind and absolutely delicious! With it, we had the fresh organic produce provided. We made fires both nights that kept us warm and the cottage warmed right up. Our second night there we took a nice hot bath overlooking the dam. We spent time on the decks watching the birds and other wildlife and Saturday afternoon took a hike to the dam. We look forward to our next trip to Berghuisie and highly recommend it for a couples getaway! Alwyn and Annatjie made the experience just wonderful, the perfect people to be running Aardvark!
