Eco-friendly design and installation
The Terraforce® Terracrete™ pavers blend seamlessly into the pristine wilderness, allowing nature to reclaim its space as grass grows between the blocks, creating a beautiful green carpet effect. Chosen for their sustainability and durability, these pavers are laid onto 150mm gravel and compacted for maximum stability. Each luxurious campsite features a 6 x 9-meter platform surrounded by wooden decks, equipped with a wood-fired hot tub, umbrella, pool loungers, a table, chairs, a fire pit, and a braai.
Sustainable luxury
Hendro Botes, owner of Afri Eco Resorts, describes the resort as a dream come true, offering guests an immersive experience in the breathtaking beauty of the region. With environmental sustainability as a priority, the Terraforce blocks were recommended by their environmental officer for their low environmental impact and exceptional durability.
Botes elaborates, “The installation process involved careful excavation and reinforcement, using stabilized sand, gravel, and 200mm of concrete. 4500 Terracrete permeable pavers were used, with perimeter walls reinforced with steel for added strength.”
Innovation meets nature
These innovative pavers not only maintain the structural integrity required for a luxury experience but also allow natural water flow, minimizing the environmental footprint. Botes emphasizes, “This project beautifully combines luxury and sustainability, providing guests with an unparalleled camping experience.”
