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.

My wife and I stayed here for 2 nights and thoroughly enjoyed the accommodation and friendly service of Elna. We stayed in the "Delft Penthouse" and found it extremely spacious and well appointed. I can highly recommend it to anybody wishing to stay in the surrounds of Sandton City.
