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.

Clean rooms and comfortable beds with quality linen. The room had a fireplace (although we could not get the flames going). Kitchenette with a bar fridge, crockery and cutlery microwave - so you could make simple meals. Lovely views over mowed lawns, enough parking for car with trailers/bicycles and a fishing dam. Friendly staff. Dinner at the pleasant eating place just down the lawn.
