Carbon Footprint

We aim to give our guests the opportunity to experience some of nature's wonders whilst at the same time enjoying the comfort and luxury of five star accommodation.

Over a period of years we have helped to restore the fynbos to it's natural state by undertaking a burning schedule and removing all invasive alien vegetation. Fynbos is a collective term which describes the indigenous vegetation of most of the Southern Cape and includes well-known plant species such as proteas and ericas. In 2001 our efforts on behalf of the environment were recognised when The Western Cape Nature Conservation Board proclaimed Fynbos Ridge as a Private Nature Reserve. Many birds, butterflies and small mammals have now made Fynbos Ridge their home.

Other steps we have taken to protect the environment and conserve natural resources include:

• Installed solar heating.
• Commissioned our own biological sewage treatment plant.
• Use biodegradable cleaning products.
• Recycle refuse.
• Conserve rainwater.
• Use natural fabrics and recycled glassware where possible.
• Installed water-saving showerheads where possible.
• Growing our own organic herbs & vegetables.
