Dempsey’s Guest House is a formally licenced accommodation establishment which has been trading for seventeen years and is working on remaining constant with service and reliability for many more years.
Important note: our metro was in a gripping drought, our dams have received substantial rains yet our metro is reluctant to relax the water restrictions yet. Water-saving measures, therefore, remain strictly in place at Dempsey’s, guests are expected to adhere to them, water usage is monitored daily.
Dempsey’s Guest House
We aim to provide a peaceful and comfortable stay for all travellers. The large garden and abundant bird life adds to the tranquillity of our property and suburb. We love this place. We love being home and close to nature. We are environmentally aware, our garden is completely natural, we don’t apply fertilizers or pesticides of any kind. We recycle paper, tin, glass and plastics, we harvest rain water for our laundry, we have attached water saving shower roses to all of the showers, we use energy saving light bulbs as much as possible. We conserve energy by using a heat pump to heat all water on the property. Regret no back up power supply for during loadshedding times, uncapped Wi-Fi availability remains consistent throughout. We conserve water and adhere to the current municipal water restrictions.
