Tugela River Lodge runs completely off solar, so the following items cannot be plugged in:

  • Hairdryers, hair straighteners
  • Mobile Air conditioners, electric heaters
  • Electric Kettles, pressure cookers, toasted sandwich machines
  • External car fridges or battery packs or personal inverters
  • Espresso machines, coffee machines
  • Large power-drawing sounds systems
  • Compressors etc etc

Basically anything that uses heat or cooling or requires lots of power. You may charge cellphones and laptops etc and we recommend doing this during the day if possible. If you are unsure please ask and rather don’t plug it in as this can damage our precious batteries.

We suggest bringing the following items to make your stay more enjoyable:

Swimming towels, board games, fishing rods, canoes, tubes, books, walking shoes, sunscreen and binoculars. Headtorches are very useful when braaing.

There is a Superspar and Tops in Winterton – 22km away.

Wood is available at R50 per bundle from Bheki. He will clean the fireplace/braai in the mornings.

If you would like to tip the staff we ask that you tip them at the end of your stay and individually. The amount is up to you and is warmly appreciated.
