REFLECTIONS ECO - RESERVE
Accommodation Services in George

Reflections Eco-Reserve is a special place when it comes to plant life. This, mainly because much of the flora here has been actively planted and cared for in our ongoing and extensive 'land rescue and heal' programme, which we began in We have an active land rehabilitation programme in place and have so far cleared 26 hectares of alien vegetation. The indigenous vegetation is already thriving and each new season produces new plant highlights and furthers our goal of greater plant diversity. We are inspired to be as environmentally friendly as possible. All our power is derived from solar and wind as well as each house having its own solar geyser. All guests are encouraged to use natural and bio degradable shower and bath products to prevent contamination of ground water. Great swimming beaches are 15 minutes away, as well as beautiful forest walks, mountain bikes, canoeing, golf and awesome birding. Our bird count so far exceeds 140 species, including a breeding pair of African Fish Eagle that provides year round spectacular viewing. We have our own SAT.O.U.R and F.G.A.S.A registered guide who is a very keen birder and can assist you in this area. Tim and Angelique have a combined 22 years experience in hospitality and guiding and look forward to welcoming you to our paradise. Another of the Winter highlights of the Garden is the annual migration of the Half-collared Kingfishers from the sub tropical Wild Coast to our more temperate area. These large, magnificent Kingfishers are usually found on quiet rivers with entangled, over hanging vegetation from which they plunge dive for their prey. All our power is produced by us, we are completely off-grid and use a combined hybrid Wind Turbine-Solar combination to provide us with all our power needs. Our hot water is supplied using Solar geysers, although we do have gas geysers as a back up on days with insufficient sunlight. All our cleaning products are completely bio-degradable and are certified to break down within 6 days of being used. We supply all our own fire wood rather than driving to fetch it and by doing this we assist with the removal of non-indigenous trees. A fairly easy relaxed circular walk that allows for the exploration of some of the most pristine and least explored areas of the Garden Route. There are some short uphill sections but they are not too taxing and they have the advantage of taking you through some very attractive patches of forest. The aim of our reforestation programme is to assist nature in returning this land back to its original state while using the processes of nature to off-set our Carbon Dioxide. Trees assist with the control of atmospheric Carbon Dioxide by incorporating it into their structure.
