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 review
We had an an absolutely fabulous few days at Kingfisher cottages. We were very comfortable in our cottage and enjoyed the views and the walks and the stars and really enjoyed the eco pool where we spent most hot afternoons. Marco and Vivian have created something very special and I can imagine its been a real labour of love. We do hope to be back again maybe in winter to enjoy the hot tub!
