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.

I enjoyed the peace and tranquility in the bosom of the mountains. I felt rejuvenated inside out. Great destination for proper rest and resetting. My baby enjoyed the food,the pool and the play area. Next time I will do the hiking trails.
