BRAHMAN HILLS WINS RENEWABLE EFFICIENCY AWARD

Brahman Hills in the KZN Midlands was recently named the winner of the 2025 KZN Top Business Awards in the category of Renewable Efficiency - Green Initiatives. This accolade recognises businesses that are leading the way in renewable energy, sustainability and environmental impact. The hotel operates 85% off-grid, upcycles waste into art and produces honey from on-site beehives.

The transformation began in 2014, and today the venue offers:

* award-winning gardens and indigenous landscapes;

*a Royal Horticulture Society partner garden, one of only two in South Africa;

*locally crafted beehives that produce over 140 litres of raw honey annually;

*rainwater harvesting and greywater recycling systems that supply fountains, irrigation and lake rehabilitation;

*a waste strategy that includes zero single-use plastics, on-site composting and glass bottle refills;

*over 1000 trees planted in the last year, contributing to carbon capture and biodiversity.

All green infrastructure investments have been self-funded through reinvested profits.
