• Recycling: Guests separate their waste and all recyclables are collected.
• Water Wise Practices: All water used at Moon Shine is rain water which is harvested from all roof surfaces, stored and in most cases gravity fed back to the cottages. Current storage capacity is at 150 000 liters.
• Sustainable Energy Acumen: Mindfulness in energy consumption which is kept to a minimum through use of low energy lighting and intelligent design.
• Eco Architecture: Harmonious designs utilizing natural lighting, air flow and insulation using sustainably grown pine.
• Conservation: As custodians over breathtaking indigenous forest the owners take care to conserve their land and quickly eradicate any alien species that may take root. Guests are educated on the area`s natural environment and the responsible way in which to interact with it.
What is loadshedding? It refers to the temporary suspension of electricity provided by Eskom, South Africa's electricity provider, to reduce consumption and thereby the load on the national grid. To compensate, South African property owners are turning to solar power, inverters with backup batteries or in some cases generators to keep the power on, wherever feasible.

Enjoyed the little tree house so much!!! It has everything you need!! The fireplace made it snuggly in the evenings and the big window at the bed made you feel part of nature in the mornings. A great way to just switch off from the city's rat race
