Environment
More than 90% of the water used in the property is ground water, from wells in the property. This water is used and is treated in septic tanks and soak-pits and then returns to the water table. We do not have bath tubs and we use toilet flushes which can be turned of mid way. Our laundry is done by a local laundry, hand washed and dried in the sun. We change sheets and towels whenever a guest requests them to be changed. We only use a bio eco cleaning product, manufactured in Goa for all our cleaning in the toilets and kitchen. No harsh chemicals. No pesticides are used in the Coconut plantation.
This property is unique and host to marine turtles, otters that breed in the bank of the creek, monitor lizards, tortoises, wild hair, and a resident pair of the rare and magnificent White Bellied Sea Eagle with a seven-foot wingspan.
We protect all wildlife in the property. We are actively involved in protecting marine turtles and rehabilitate marine turtles which have been injured in fishing nets. All our waste food is treated and used to feed local livestock. All our plastic, glass and metal waste is recycled.
Community
We support the local Church and Church School by donating prizes for fundraising. We have in the past given refrigerators, television sets and computers as prizes.
We take care of medical expenses whenever the senior citizens of the village community around us can't afford to do so. We pay for their hospital and medical bills. We encourage our guests to visit local places of interest and also local restaurants. We have a book written by us explaining to guests about the local community and where to go. We have a fleet of cars which have been bought by members of the local village which are used for transportation of all our guests. We have provided loans to the owners of these cars in order to start operations.
99% of our staff is local, trained by us and come from the surrounding villages. We buy locally grown vegetables, fish and meat. All our building, maintenance and conservation is done by locally hired people.
The very purpose of our existence is to keep this piece of land the way God made it and protect everything on it. We will protect it from mass tourism and encourage like-minded people on the property. We are committed to educating the local community about things of historical significance which will only appreciate with the passing of time.
We invite every traveller who books a holiday via us to send in a review. Because we don't run the holidays they're completely independent and unedited... remember to read between the lines though, as two people on the same holiday can have different views!
