How fast is the Wi-Fi at Dunton?

The Wi-Fi in each room runs at ±500 Mbps — not just in the public areas. We run an uncapped fibre line across the property, covering every room, the dining room, boardroom, patio and garden. It comfortably handles Teams and Zoom video calls, VPN access, large file transfers and 4K streaming — several guests at once, at no extra cost.

Does the Wi-Fi keep working during load-shedding?

Yes. Our fibre router, network switches and access points are on backup power, so the ±500 Mbps line stays up through load-shedding and unplanned outages. You can stay on a client call right through a slot without switching to mobile data.

What happens during load-shedding or a power outage?

A backup generator carries the property through load-shedding and unplanned outages, covering lights, plug points in the rooms, the Wi-Fi network, security systems, gates and the kitchen. There is a short changeover pause when the generator picks up, then everything runs as normal — no candles, no cancelled meetings.

How does backup water work when the municipal supply is cut?

We store water on site and feed it into the property automatically when municipal supply is interrupted or pressure drops, so showers, basins and toilets keep working. The pressure system runs off backup power too, which means water and power outages at the same time still don't interrupt your stay.

Can I work from Dunton during an outage?

Yes — that is exactly what the setup is for. Every room has a proper desk, chair and plug points on backup power, plus ±500 Mbps Wi-Fi in the room itself. Our boardroom is available for meetings, and long-stay corporate guests use Dunton as a working base precisely because power, water and connectivity stay on.
