Before you book
Before booking, confirm which cottage is available, its bedroom and bathroom layout, and how the property handles electricity during any load-shedding periods. It is also worth asking about borehole water quality and pressure, and confirming what security arrangements apply outside the stated night-time guard hours, since these details are not spelled out in full on the official site.
