CGH Earth leased the land of a noisy, bustling 19th-century Victorian shipyard run by George Brunton and restored it into a luxury 5-star boutique hotel featuring English, Portuguese, and Dutch influences.
The hotel harvests rainwater in-house and serves it in glass bottles, saving nearly 15,000 plastic bottles annually. It also uses solar panels and provides wooden toiletries, including a wooden comb.
The History Restaurant offers a variety of heritage dishes, including Portuguese seafood stew, a whole marinated fish from a local Jewish family, Afghani-style stuffed chicken in cashew sauce, and roast chicken created for British officials.
