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.

We enjoyed our stay very much. The accommodation was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. Thanx to Debbie & Phil for their warm reception.

This was our best South Coast stay yet! The cabin was immaculate, the sea views breathtaking, the grounds neat and tidy and the host friendly and helpful. The pictures do not do this establishment justice! It is beyond beautiful!
