We stayed at Schoone Oordt during July and rented 3 rooms for our travel party. We arrived in the late afternoon, only to find that there was load shedding underway, and the resort had made no provision of inverters or generators for our rooms. So our first experience of our rooms was dark, cold and gloomy. Trying to unpack and get set up in our rooms while stumbling around in the dark was no fun. Overall, we only had power about half the time we at the resort. There was no disclosure when we made the booking that the resort had no electricity backup, and we assumed that since load shedding has been ongoing for years, that such provision would have been made at a resort of this calibre. Additionally, one of the rooms had a broken wall heater that didn't function when the electricity came back on and so the occupants were freezing throughout the night. The only saving grace was that all the staff were super nice, and the breakfast was wonderful. Overall though, we had had high expectations, but it was a very disappointing experience at a resort that charges a premium rate. Buyer beware...
