Toilets & Showers

Ok... firstly the toilets - they flush, they have wooden seats and they look good, in fact everything you would expect from your loo at home... except that these are environmentally friendly, with 85% of the water content filtering, underground, slowly back into the orange grove after having been through bunches of greedy bacteria housed on small plastic balls in the holding tank. No smell, no nasty chemicals and an ability to re-use water safely and efficiently.

The showers are totally solar heated and gravity fed. A series of black tubes leading from the 1000 litre tank and arranged over a distance of 100mtrs brings piping hot water... for free. The water heated by the sun just feels different... honestly! We use only bio-friendly products and soaps and would ask our guests to do the same.

Water is our most precious commodity here and so we ask you to be conservative with it at all times.
