Sustainability

How we run the place

Our practices

Six habits, kept up daily

Solar powered

Rooms, kitchen and common areas run on rooftop solar, not a diesel generator.

Borehole water

Our own borehole, with greywater from sinks and showers reused on the garden.

Kitchen garden

Most of what's on the menu was growing a few metres from the kitchen that morning.

Plastic-free amenities

Refillable toiletries and no single-use plastic in guest rooms.

Local employment first

Almost everyone who works here is from Sittanunku or a village nearby.

Mangrove & tree planting

An ongoing planting programme along the nearby creek, open to guests who want to join in.

Get involved

The mangrove programme

A few mornings a month, guests and staff head to the creek behind the village to plant mangrove seedlings — a small, ongoing effort to keep the shoreline healthy for the fish, birds, and everyone downstream.

It’s informal: no sign-up sheet, just ask at the front desk if you’re around and want to join a session during your stay.
