Running a guesthouse in Makhanda involves managing water supply carefully during dry seasons, ensuring backup power for load shedding stages that knock out the town's electricity, and maintaining the kind of hospitality that works for both work travellers and weekend visitors. Tipuana B&B operates in this practical landscape—managing the seasonal shifts in visitor numbers, keeping systems running through power cuts, and sourcing reliable laundry and cleaning services when regular suppliers are affected by blackouts. The actual work of hosting here means understanding when Rhodes visitors flood in around academic calendar dates, how to keep rooms comfortable without air conditioning during outages, and maintaining standards when infrastructure doesn't always cooperate.
