Conservation

We at Pelican Point Lodge are very much aware of our natural surroundings and hence take the environment into consideration through sustainability management and environmentally friendly practices such as water saving, waste management, adherence to preserving wildlife habitats.

Carbon Footprint:

Pelican Point Lodge is situated on the eco-fragile Peninsula in the Dorob National park and right in the middle of the ocean. We bear conservation very close to our heart and part of our mission statement is to keep our eco-footprint as small as possible without compromising the comfort of our guests. As a standard we switch on the generator from 18h00 till 22h00 in the evening and from 06h00 till 09h00 in the morning, we also keep the generator running while our guests are enjoying themselves in the lounge and restaurant after 22h00. During the times that the generator is off, we run water on gravitational feed. For guests bringing their respiration support equipment, we are happy to provide batteries but will need to be informed upon booking. Should we not have been informed beforehand and no batteries are available, we will run the generator at an extra charge for the guest. It goes without saying that we prefer not to start the generator for charging electronic devices such as mobile phones, tablets or batteries guests may have forgotten to charge during our standard generator running times. Furthermore, we use bio fires in the lounge and restaurant as well as in the guest accommodation.

Culinary Experiences

Dining at Pelican Point Lodge is a special occasion with elegant table settings, soft lighting, bio-fires, spectacular views on a clear evening, and warm and cosy on misty nights.
