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. Please note that Dempsey's is a self-catering establishment, no meals are served. Please note that due to water restrictions in our metro, bathing is not allowed, this applies to Family Room No.1 and Twin Room No. 3. There are showers in all units.
We love this place. We love being home and close to nature. We are environmentally aware, our garden is natural, we recycle, 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 are in the process of installing solar panels. We use a heat pump instead of geysers, to heat all of our water.
We are centrally located here in the suburb of Walmer, not far from the airport and very close to a wide selection of interesting shops, restaurants, bakeries and pubs. It is a short drive from us to the nearest beach; we are also very close to major shopping centres.
