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.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The setting, the activities and the easy going nature was perfect for us.

The little cottage has everything you need to a peaceful farm break away. The meadows with cows and horses are delightful to watch in the morning from the sheltered balcony. The fireplace is massive and keeps the house remarkably warm. The hot tub was divine to. Lots for the children like swings, kayaks, playground and loads of open spaces to explore. All in all, a wonderful stay and I cannot wait to return.
