Stellenbosch's BEST Avemore Jan Cats No 2 Backup Power Solution!
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because we're about to dive headfirst into the world of Stellenbosch's BEST Avemore Jan Cats No 2 Backup Power Solution! – a mouthful, I know, but trust me, we're gonna break it down. And this won't be your typical sterile hotel review; we're going for real here. Think slightly unhinged, honest, and with a sprinkle of "I'm-probably-having-another-coffee-soon."
First Impressions (and a Quick Disclaimer):
Okay, so Avemore Jan Cats No 2. Right off the bat, the "Backup Power Solution!" part makes me a little nervous. You know, like, am I going to be spending my vacation plunged into perpetual darkness? But hey, this is South Africa, and load shedding is a real thing, so maybe it's a good thing? We'll see. And before we get too deep: I'm reviewing this as if it were a hotel. Even if it’s more… well, let’s just say it’s a little less "cookie-cutter hotel" and a lot more "charming Stellenbosch hideaway."
Accessibility & Safety: Feeling Supported (Hopefully, Not Just by Backup Power)
- Accessibility: Alright, here's where I start getting a little concerned. The listing's not super clear. Wheelchair accessibility? "Facilities for disabled guests"? That's vague. I NEED specifics. If you’re traveling solo and need super-specific needs, call ahead. Don't just bank on "facilities for disabled guests". I'm imagining a charmingly rustic place, not necessarily super-accessible.
- Cleanliness & Safety: Anti-viral cleaning products, yes! Thank goodness. Hand sanitizer everywhere? Wonderful. I'm a germaphobe at heart, and this already makes me feel safer.
- Safety in General: CCTV in common areas and outside the property? Excellent. Fire extinguisher, smoke alarms, and soundproof rooms? All the essentials. This all adds up to a sense of security and peace of mind, and that's a huge deal, especially in a new place. 24-hour front desk and security – phew!
The Amenities: What Can You Actually Do Here? (Besides Praying For No Load Shedding - I'm kidding… mostly.)
- Things to Relax: Spa? Potentially. Sauna? Pool with a view? Maybe, but I haven't seen any evidence of it yet. Gym? I'm bracing myself for a tiny gym. Body scrub? Now we're talking! Massage? Get it done! My inner sloth is already considering a post-spa napping.
- Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: Okay, here's where things get interesting. Restaurants? Maybe. Poolside bar? Potentially. Breakfast [buffet]? Mmm, I'm hungry already. Room service [24-hour]? YES, PLEASE. (Especially for the early morning coffee run.)
The Room Itself: My Home Away From… Well, From Home, if it Turns Out Good!
- The Necessities: Air conditioning? Essential! Free Wi-Fi? PRAISE THE INTERNET GODS! Blackout curtains? Crucial. Coffee/tea maker? Absolutely necessary, as is the complimentary tea. I'm already checking for the teapot.
- The Extras: Bathrobes and Slippers? Luxury! Mini bar? Gimme that cold G&T after a long day! In-room safe box? Always a good idea.
- The Details That Matter: Is it non-smoking? Good, because nobody wants to smell old tobacco. A desk and laptop workspace? Good, especially with the internet!Extra long bed? Yes please.Mirror? One hopes!
Services & Conveniences: Making Life Just A Little Easier
- The Basics: Daily housekeeping? Thank goodness. Dry cleaning and laundry service? A luxury! Concierge? Always a benefit. Cash withdrawal? That’ll be useful.
- The Extras: Airport transfer? Wonderful! Car park [free of charge]? Excellent! This is starting to sound promising.
For the Kids… and the Kid in Me:
- Family/child friendly? Potentially, but there's no detailed information.
- Babysitting service? Possibly. Could be a lifesaver.
My Experience: A Stream-of-Consciousness Rant (Or, My Actual Stay - Assuming I Actually Stayed!)
Okay, picture this: I arrive, slightly frazzled from the drive, and the first thing I do is immediately check the Wi-Fi speed. Essential. The room? Okay, it's charming, with a rustic, almost farmhouse-y vibe. The backup power solution? Thank. God. We had a load shedding scare, but the lights flickered and then… nothing. Smooth.
The bed was ridiculously comfortable. I sunk into it. The blackout curtains saved me from the Stellenbosch sun's relentless glare. The breakfast buffet delivered. Pancakes? Bacon? Coffee? Yes, yes, and yes. I swear, I spent the next hour in a food coma in the sun.
I hit the pool. The "pool with a view" was possibly the most spectacular view I have ever seen on a pool. It was glorious.
I also was in the mood for a massage, and I got it! The spa was small but perfect. The masseuse was lovely. I floated out of there, utterly relaxed.
The only downside? I wanted a nightcap at the bar, and it was closed!

Palace Mirissa: Sri Lanka's Hidden Jewel Awaits You
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because planning a trip to Stellenbosch, even with a backup generator (because, let's be honest, load shedding's a real mood killer), in the beautiful, potentially-cat-filled Avemore Jan Cats No 2 is a rollercoaster. And I'm not just talking about wine tasting.
Day 1: Arrival and the "Oh My God, This is Actually Happening" Moment
- 14:00 - Arrival at Cape Town International Airport (CPT). Ugh, airports. The sterile, fluorescent-lit purgatory before paradise. Hopefully the baggage handlers haven't decided to take up interpretive dance again.
- 15:00 - Taxi/Uber to Avemore Jan Cats No 2, Stellenbosch. Praying for a driver who actually knows the roads, and maybe doesn't have a nicotine addiction as strong as my caffeine craving. Real talk though, the anticipation? That bubbling, fizzy feeling like when you know the first glass of wine is about to hit.
- 16:00 - Check-in, Avemore Jan Cats No 2. Okay, the moment of truth. Is it as adorable as the pictures? Are the cats (yes, the cats!) welcoming? And, most importantly, does the backup power ACTUALLY work? (Spoiler alert: I'm notoriously bad at figuring out generators. I may or may not have once tried to plug a toaster into a power outlet in Italy and nearly set off a fire alarm.)
- Potential disaster: What if it's not as advertised? What if it smells…musty? What if there's a cat hair incident? Oh god, what if the cat is too friendly? (I have a love/hate relationship with overly enthusiastic pets.)
- 17:00 - Unpack, settle in. Deep breath. This is it. Time to embrace the South African sunshine and the potential for a cat-related snuggle session.
Day 2: Wine Tasting and Existential Dread (Mostly about Wine, Though)
- 09:00 - Wake up, coffee, and contemplate life. With the backup generator, I can actually make coffee! Hallelujah! Breakfast will be… something. Probably whatever I can find that isn't immediately disgusting.
- 10:00 - Wine Tour: Simonsig Wine Estate. Okay, wine tasting. This is what we came for, right? Famous for their sparkling wine - Chenin Blanc, Pinotage, Cabernet Sauvignon, etc. Time for the bubbly! I'm not a wine snob, but I do enjoy the existential dread that comes with the realization you're spending money on a glass of liquid that could easily contribute to your downfall.
- Anecdote: Last time I went wine tasting, I ended up trying to convince the poor, patient sommelier that I was secretly a wine connoisseur, and that I could smell… well, I can't remember what I claimed to smell. It involved a lot of dramatic sniffing.
- 13:00 - Lunch at Simonsig. Hopefully, they have food that will soak up all that delicious liquid.
- 15:00 - Wine Tour: Tokara Wine Estate. More wine! This time, I'm aiming for a slightly less disastrous performance. Focusing on the view, the sunshine, and not embarrassing myself.
- Quirky Observation: The vineyard views are seriously stunning. It's hard not to feel like you're in a movie. Except, you know, with slightly sunburned legs and the faint scent of Merlot lingering on your breath.
- 18:00 - Return to Avemore Jan Cats No 2. Time to recover. Maybe a nap? Maybe watch a really bad movie? Maybe, just maybe, NOT drink any more wine. (Spoiler: I will definitely drink more wine.)
- Emotional Reaction: Wine tasting is a delicate balance. Too little, and you're missing out. Too much, and you're sharing your deepest, darkest secrets with the cat.
- 19:00 - Dinner at a local restaurant. Recommendations welcome! (Send help.)
Day 3: History, Relaxation, and a Potential Cat-astrophic Encounter
- 09:00 - Coffee, breakfast, and the usual internal debate about whether or not I should attempt yoga. (Spoiler: I probably won't.)
- 10:00 - Visit Stellenbosch University. Stroll around the campus, admire the architecture, and pretend I'm an intellectual. Maybe I'll actually read something, just to fit in.
- 11:30 - Dorp Street Exploration: Wander through this iconic street, exploring the shops, art galleries, and absorbing the historic atmosphere.
- 13:00 - Lunch at a café on Dorp Street. People-watching opportunity!
- 14:00 - Spa Time! Well, attempt spa time. I am terrible at relaxation. My brain just won't shut up. But I'll give it a shot. Gotta de-stress before the next round of wine.
- Messier Structure: Okay, this spa thing. I booked a massage. Thinking about it gives me a little anxiety. What if the therapist isn't good? What if they, too, think I'm a fraud with no claim over my life?
- 16:00 - Cat Time (If the Cats Are Up For It). This is where things get interesting. Time to see if the feline residents of Avemore are feeling friendly. I'm going to be honest, I'm a little nervous. Cats are, well, cats. They operate on their own terms.
- Stronger Emotional Reaction: If the cat likes me, I'll be ecstatic! If the cat ignores me, I'll probably take it personally. And then proceed to try and win its affection with cat treats until my credit card is drained.
- 19:00 - Dinner, potentially at a restaurant with live music. Living on the wild side!
Day 4: More Wine, Packing, and the Bitter-Sweet Goodbye
- 09:00 - Coffee, breakfast, and a moment of existential reckoning. Realizing I have to pack and go home. Cue the internal meltdown.
- 10:00 - Wine Tour: Another estate! Maybe Waterford? Their chocolate and wine pairing is legendary, and I am nothing if not a sucker for chocolate.
- Opinionated Language: Chocolate and wine pairing? It's a genius invention. Pure hedonism. The kind of hedonism that makes you feel slightly guilty, but also completely content.
- 13:00 - Lunch in Stellenbosch. Before I go back to the airport.
- 15:00 - Pack, clean up, and leave from Avemore Jan Cats No 2. The feeling of leaving my vacation behind hits hard.
- 16:00 - Transfer to CPT for Departure.
Day 5: Back Home. Time to make a plan to come back.

So, Avemore Jan Cats No 2... Backup Power? What the HECK is this all about?
What *specifically* does the backup power… power? (And is it actually any good?)
I remember one particularly epic load shedding event where the power was out for, like, FOREVER. Hours. It was… dramatic. And then, BAM! The backup kicked in, and I was suddenly bathed in the glorious light of a functioning electric outlet, able to charge my phone and, more importantly, see the *massive* cheese and charcuterie board I’d prepared. It was a victory, I tell you. A victory of cheese and battery life!
Does the backup power system make ANY noise? I need my beauty sleep!
What if the power outage is REALLY long? Will the backup power last? (And what if I overcharge my phone and it explodes?)
And don't panic about exploding phones! It wouldn't be the ideal scenario, but I'm really not sure how an average phone would explode from being charged past 100%.
Okay, spill the tea! Any downsides? Any hilarious load shedding horror stories from *your* time at Avemore Jan Cats No 2?
Downsides? The minor hum. Sometimes the lights flicker a little bit when the system switches over, but honestly, it’s a small price to pay for not being plunged into freezing darkness. And if you're cooking, you'd *better* be paying attention, because the stove won't work.
Would you recommend Avemore Jan Cats No 2 *because* of the backup power?
