Eco Friendly Efforts

In all that we do, we try to have as light a touch as possible on the environment while still providing a comfortable and relaxing stay. The eco-wood deck is manufactured from recycled plastic rather than unsustainably harvested hard woods. As much as possible we choose for environmentally friendlier products, including the Afriearth shampoos, soaps and other amenities. The solar geysers provide most of our hot water and this is supplemented by an electric boiler. If at any point you need more hot water you can press the red buttons on the far left of the controllers in the cupboard in the third bedroom (two single beds). This will switch on the electric supplementary heaters. They turn off again when they reach 55 degrees. The lighting at Guppy Huys is also fitted with low-energy LED lighting and the slow combustion fireplace is designed to optimize heat while reducing the amount of wood used. All of our new appliances, like the dishwasher, oven and refrigerator are A rated (or better) for low energy consumption.

Area Information

The quiet upmarket neighbourhood of De Kelders borders on the pristine Walker Bay nature conservancy that extends along the coast all the way to Hermanus. The north-facing coast, provides an excellent climate and on a clear day it's possible to see all the way to the Cape peninsula. In Stamford you will find a cheese farm, honey producer, charcuterie, wineries, a brewery, a distillery, river activities and even a big cat sanctuary. The area is a food lover's paradise.
