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.

What an honor to be a “pre-launch” guest at Pincushion Heights. This is a top-rate set of custom built and decorated apartments. Labeled “self-catering”, I was thrilled to find a breakfast selection as I was determined not to miss sunrise! Accommodation and views are topped off by the gracious hosts! You will not regret a stay at Pincushion to enjoy Knysna and surrounds!

If you are heading along the Garden Route and plan to stay in Kynsna, then we thoroughly recommend Pincushion Heights. It is a fantastic location with breath-taking views and a short drive into town. Our accommodation was a beautifully appointed, spacious, self-catering apartment in the midst of manicured gardens that epitomise the local flora. It had everything one needs and the attention to detail is great - including international power points (which we needed) and the solar power with battery storage provided constant power supply and great wifi coverage. The hosts provided excellent suggestions on things to see and do and went out of their way to make our stay a fantastic experience.
