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.

Verified reviewexcellent

My husband & I couldn't get a room in the accommodation place we've used before, so I found Kastelein. I will certainly come back here in future! Our room was elegant & beautifully appointed, with attention given to every little detail - even to a coral rose in a little vase on each bedside pedestal! absolutely beautiful!
