My chalet was very nice but it seemed like it was in a perpetual state of no power. It was explained that there was load shedding (which I totally understand) but it felt like the generators were running 24/7 and so one could not plug anything to charge their devices overnight (this makes trying to wake up on time a problem if your cellphone battery dies overnight). They have a single light by the entrance to the bedroom that turns on during the "generator rotation" period. There was at least hot enough water for the baths although it was very unpleasant having to fumble about in the dark to wash up and turn in for the evening, assisted only by the glow of the television in the next room (when it was on).
Thankfully, the main conference venue is powered and so we could charge our devices during the day.
The staff were very helpful nevertheless so it is unfortunate that the place is let down by Eskom.
