Sustainability Sustainability is another thread that runs throughout Hazendal Wine Estate , from the use of solar energy and advanced technology water treatment plants supply to wetland rehabilitation , and that same commitment to earth-friendly development extends to the new hotel .
“ Throughout the development , we have looked at sustainable options relative to power , water and single-use plastics ,” says the Managing
Director of Hazendal Wine Estate . “ Sustainability is an issue that is going to become ever more important to the global traveller , and we really hope to set an example for other properties with the Hazendal Hotel .”
Sustainability has also been built into the very design of the hotel , with utility spaces and non-guest areas facing west , to act as an insulation buffer to the harsh western sun . In addition , the use of skylights and other architectural elements enhance the use of natural light , while solar glass has been treated with low emission glazing to improve the energy efficiency of the building .
