Important Facts:
- Our residence has a solar system installed, providing energy to the property in totality.
- We also have 4 solar geysers, thereby doing our part to reduce our carbon footprint. All the units do have airconditioners, but would like to bring to our guest’s attention, the following. South Africa ‘s energy provider, Eskom is currently under severe pressure, resulting in various stages of loadshedding. Unfortunately we do not have any control over this fact, and we are trying to manage the energy capacity of the guesthouse as best we can. Even though we have a battery system that provide electricity during loadshedding, it is not possible to run all the airconditioners during this time, as the load is just to much for our system. You will therefor have limited functionality of the AC, during the period the battery is operational, and for some time after, until the battery is fully charged again. We do trust that you will bear with us, and though it can be uncomfortable during the hot summer months, it usually is not for periods exceeding 2h30min. Also please make use of our pool to cool off – It is available 24h per day.
