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 reviewvery good

It was a good stay at Star Dam. Quite difficult terrain to get through when driving to the Estate so would highly recommend a car with slightly higher ground clearance like an SUV or Bakkie. Overall — great location.
