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

Went with my partner to celebrate my 40th birthday & I was surprised with a proposal. Staff knew about the surprise & they planned it with my partner & went all out. It was so romantic such a memorable night. Another warm gesture was washing our car whenever we came back from our day trips. Thank you for a such a warm & professional hospitality. Enjoyed all meals too.
