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.

what a wonderful stay , one of the best cottages in a long time , spotless , well equipped (for once our braai equipment stayed in the bakkie) and totally off grid , soul restoring silence and wonderful views . Great walks on the farm as well. Read up on the website how these cottages were constructed , it'll make your stay even more special . Vivian and Marco are wonderful hosts , its remarkable what they have done on this farm. We stayed at Giant kingfisher and will be back in the winter months for a bit of trout fishing

If you are looking for a place to unwind, relax and recharge then this would be the place. This gem of a place hidden in the valley of Langhoogte Farm, Montagu is incredibly special and so beautiful. We had a wonderful time and came back home refreshed and recharged. There are plenty of walking trails. We did a portion of the Leopard trail and found a few paw prints. The owners are wonderful and made staying on their farm a treat. It is a home away from home. First time off the grid and we loved it. I would recommend this place to friends and family. We will definitely go back.
