your perfect base to explore the Western Cape
We recently installed a new Solar System! This means even if there is load-shedding we won't be bothered anymore. Our built in battery will keep your electrity in your guestroom running, same as for our mainhouse. You will still have internet access and electricity.
Load-Sheddings means the total loss of electricity. Unfortunately this often happens in South Africa and even if you get an alert through an App before, this can be annoying. Our guesthouse is equipped for load-shedding as our system will automatically detect and activate solar power battery.
