Running a guest house in Sandton means dealing with load shedding reality head-on. When stage 6 hits, guests expect hot water, functioning air-conditioning, and lighting that doesn't flicker during dinner—not because they're fussy, but because they're often on work schedules that depend on it. Ninety North Guest House operates in an area where power cuts can mean the difference between a seamless stay and a frustrated guest. That means investing in backup power solutions that actually work, managing water heating systems carefully, and keeping backup plans ready when the grid fails. The practical side of hospitality in Gauteng isn't glamorous—it's about generators, inverters, and planning for the schedule Eskom publishes each week. It's about keeping the kettle working and the rooms cool when load shedding throws a spanner in the works.
