We believe that it is time for businesses to take environmental responsibility seriously! Here are some of the measures that we have already implemented: • Grey water recycling plant: all waste water runs through a natural filtering system, and is collected in two dams. It can then be used for irrigation. By doing this we are able to reduce our overall water consumption. The dams are a complete ecosystem and are stocked with fish, indigenous aquatic plants and attract frogs and a variety of birds • Solar geysers: all the guest rooms and the kitchen use water that is heated almost entirely by the power of our strong South African sun! • Recycling of kitchen waste to make our own compost. We reduce the waste output and at the same time enhance the appearance of the garden and improve the quality of the soil on our property • Recycling of paper, glass and cans. These items are brought to recycling plants to further reduce our waste output • Water saving devices such as low-flow shower heads and toilet flush diverters • Supporting of local and organic farming. Whenever possible, we buy our fresh produce from local farmers and give preference to those using organic farming methods • Eco-friendly chemicals from washing powder and cleaning products to guests’ amenities. • Warm farm to create organic super-compost! By supporting our business our valued customers help us getting one step closer to preserve our precious environment.
