Water from guest rooms are recycled and reused. The grey water is used for irrigation and the garden drip system. There is a water bottle filling station available to guests that means they can use reusable water bottles instead of single-use plastic bottles.

 All guest room doors are insulated by weather strips and double glass patio sliding doors are tinted to maximize the air conditioners’ efficiency. Placement of energy efficient – and water saving equipment – has helped energy saving, as has the conversion from regular split units to inverter split to more energy efficient A/C units. The replacement of incandescent light bulbs to LED lights throughout the entire property lowers energy consumption.

Manchebo is the proud owner of an eclectic car used for quick runs to the airport and around town. Electric cars are greener, cleaner, and better for the environment than cars that run on petrol or diesel.
