Off-Grid Living

Solar

Our villa and all of its amenities, are completely solar powered and we have invested in some of the best technology to harness the incredible power of the sun.  A back-up generator, as well as our stove, BBQ, and hot water tank are all powered by propane.

Water

Conserving water in a desert environment is obvious and logical.  In our East Cape location, all of the water provided inside and outside of the villa is trucked to the property on a regular basis, so water conservation becomes even more important.  The water at El Colibri goes through three filters plus a UV filter, so it is safe for cleaning vegetables and brushing your teeth, however we choose to drink bottled water for extra protection.   For your convenience, we have also provided a standing water cooler with 3-4 five gallon refill jugs.
