21 Nov 2025 - Important Notice - Water Conservation in Knysna Dear Valued Guests and Visitors A very warm welcome to Tonquani. We are delighted to have you stay with us. Knysna is currently experiencing severe drought conditions and a period of low rainfall, which has put significant pressure on our local water resources. The municipality has implemented strict water restrictions for the next 7 weeks, at least until mid-January 2026. Our Commitment to Sustainability: Low-flow showerheads and taps throughout the property Dual-flush toilets Implementing a linen and towel reuse program Promptly addressing any leaks or pipe bursts to prevent water loss Employing water-wise landscaping using indigenous plants Rainwater harvesting for our gardens. How You Can Help Us Conserve Water Take Shorter Showers: Aim for a shower of five minutes or less. Every minute saved makes a difference. Turn Off Taps: Please turn off the tap while soaping your hands, shaving, or brushing your teeth. Reuse Towels: Participate in our reuse program. If you wish to reuse your towels, please hang them up. Towels left on the shower floor will be replaced. Bed linen will be changed every third day unless you request otherwise. Avoid Unnecessary Flushing: Dispose of tissues and other small waste in the bin rather than flushing the toilet unnecessarily. Report Leaks: If you notice any dripping taps, running toilets, or other leaks, please report them to us immediately. Together, Every Drop Counts Your cooperation helps us ensure a sustainable future for our community and environment, while still allowing you to enjoy all that Knysna has to offer. The situation requires that every one of us acts responsibly. Thank you for your understanding and support in these efforts. We wish you a wonderful stay. Sincerely The Team at Tonquani-Knysna
