The Wild Olive Guest House has always been environmentally conscious.
Now we continue our sustainability drive, committed to reach a NetZero Carbon Footprint in the short to medium term. In fact, this is within reach:
We have invested in visible and behind the scenes upgrades of electrical equipment and appliances (AC Units, Tumble drier, Mini Bar Fridges, Vacuum Cleaners, LED lighting) of the highest available efficiency class.In September 24 we installed and commissioned a 22kWp Solar PV system. This is able to produce our power consumption equivalent in electricity and together with our load shedding battery system, we can cover night times too.
We are also adapting our electricity consumption patterns. Excess electricity will be sold to the City of Cape Town.
We actively practice recycling and avoid waste without compromising on our service quality. We invite you to visit us and see what we are doing and discuss with us what further plans and ideas we have.
