WORM FACTORY

A recent addition to the guesthouse has been our Worm Factory. This fantastic system will see the disposal of all of our biodegradable household waste fed to our hard working worms who convert this into very rich garden soil and a liquid fertiliser. This system is better then decomposition as there is no odour and there is a decreased amount of release of CO2 into the atmosphere.

REDUCED WATER USAGE

As part of our commitment to the environment, we use in each of our guest & private rooms, low flow shower heads. The low-flow system though still provides a fantastic shower experience, but we have managed to reduce our water consumption by more than half.

REDUCED LAUNDRY

As much as possible we would like to have a reduced Carbon Footprint on our environment, this means trying to reduce water and electricity consumption (amongst other things). Each time we wash towels, we also tumble dry and although guests may have clean, fresh, white bath towels twice a day, we ask each person to join with us & keep towels usage to a minimum.

REDUCING DETERGENT USE

We are constantly looking for ways to become more “green” and currently are trialling detergent-free washing. Using “washing balls” which use a magnetic charge together with ceramic technology to clean clothes & linens without the need for detergent. We are also looking at different ranges of eco-friendly, effective cleaning agents for the rest of the household cleaning jobs. Better for the environment, for us, for our great staff and of course, for you.
