Unfortunately the building's generator only caters for general lighting, & at times water supply is intermittent with low water pressures. Disclaimer: As we have no control on when the national electricity provider, Eskom, will load-shed or the local council will restrict water. Should you have booked & we experience either or both water or electricity issues, please accept our apologies. Unfortunately we will not discount nor provide refunds should this happen. Please note that we are currently experiencing issues with the building 's antiquated policies on short term letting which we have challenged. However in order to respect the security policy of ensuring a safe environment guests have to sign in at security. You do not need to answer questions as to the reason for your stay as that is a privacy issue which needs to be respected. Your are in any case a guest of ours.
