Underneath the braai table is a spot where you can put your braai wood or charcoal and there is a big black dustpan right next door.

The female section of the ablution facilities has a shower with a glass pivot door, a changing area and 2 toilets. The basins are modern with mirrors above each basin and a water-tight plug point with a mirror just above the plug. The male section is exactly the same as above except that there is a urinal included. All the floors in the ablution block and kitchen area are tiled with black slate tiles.

Each site has its own socket outlets and is protected by its own 15 amp circuit breaker with an earth leakage (as required by law).
