Perfect Hideaways Short Term Rental Properties Ts & Cs V.1.1
NOTES LOAD-SHEDDING DISCLAIMER: Please note that South Africa’s electricity supplier, Eskom, has implemented loadshed ding (scheduled power outages) for the foreseeable future. Many of our hideaways are not affected as they have a full solar system or inverter and battery system. Others are off-grid with a partial solar system or inverter and battery system, or a generator. Some have simpler provisions in place, for example battery powered lanterns, candles, gas stoves and a braai. Most have a UPS, ensuring that WiFi remains uninterrupted. It is worth noting that food safety standards confirm refrigerated food maintains freshness for a period of at least four hours with no power, so fortunately this is not an issue. The simplest way to plan around the loadshed ding schedule is to download a phone app called EskomSePush. We hope that guests who choose hideaways that do not offer a comprehensive uninterrupted power supply, the experience of loadshedding while on holiday will be viewed positively. Take the gap to disconnect from the digital world and engage in holiday ac tivities that are not impacted; a walk on the beach, a hike in the mountains, pack up a picnic or go for a scenic drive. In the evenings a spell of loadshedding offers a chance to retreat to a quieter, candlelit world, where dinner is cooked on the barbeque, songs sung, cards are played, cocktails are mixed and loved ones connect. Currently loadshedding is part of the South African experience; it is beyond our control and Perfect Hideaways cannot be held accountable for any gap between our client’s ex pectations of a hideaway’s loadshedding provision, and the actual provision. Our friendly and knowledgeable hideaway consultants will be happy to confirm the power provision at each hideaway. It is important that you consider what you will need during a spell of loadshedding and chat to your hideaway consultant to ensure your hideaway has suffi cient provision for your needs.

Rather safe than sorry!
