What is worth appreciating and experiencing is that the property is an ecological haven, with the hosts aiming to secure a piece of land where human activities would have the least possible impact on Mother Nature
As a result, the farm is modelled on sustainable principles of permaculture with an aim to conserve and promote biodiversity through organic/agro forestry, annual reforestation, water and soil conservation, off grid living and sustainable tourism
For instance, the farm produces its own electricity through a hydropower plant; all furniture on the property is made out of repurposed wood The hosts even ensured that no trees were cut unnecessarily during the property’s construction, which is why you will also find some tree friends in your cottages ��
The farm is mammal friendly and home to many native species of rabbits, the giant Malabar squirrel, civet cats, macaque, deer, bats etc So keep your fingers crossed for you may get lucky!
