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

I liked the excellent hospitality, the privacy, comfortable beds, cleanliness, and availability of all the supplies including beach towels and basic food that were not part of the deal. This place is amazing for its cost. We had many places to visit, and the place itself is convenient for many destinations.
