Self Catering Accommodation

Protea Cottage is tucked away on the side of a mountain overlooking Cathkin Peak and Monks Cowl. It sleeps four people with one large open-plan bedroom on the ground floor with a King-size bed and an open loft upstairs with two single beds.

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.
