Embracing Sustainability : A Commitment to Nature and Community

Nestled in one of the most beautiful regions of New Zealand, we are dedicated to preserving the natural environment and supporting the local ecosystem through a variety of sustainable practices. From planting native trees to managing waste, every step we take is designed to minimize our environmental impact and enhance the natural beauty of our surroundings.

Restoring Native Habitat

One of our proudest achievements is the planting of over 3,000 native trees on our property. This significant effort is more than just beautification—it’s about restoring and enhancing the local habitat. These trees play a crucial role in bringing back native birdlife, creating a thriving ecosystem, and providing a natural sanctuary for various species. The vibrant morning chorus that greets our guests is a testament to the positive impact of these trees.

Sustainable Waste Management

We are committed to reducing our ecological footprint by adopting comprehensive waste management practices:

• Composting Food Scraps: All food scraps from our kitchen are composted, turning organic waste into valuable soil nutrients. This not only reduces the amount of waste sent to landfills but also enriches our soil, supporting the growth of our gardens and orchards.

• Recycling Plastics and Glass: We have a rigorous recycling program in place for all plastics and glass. By ensuring that these materials are properly sorted and recycled, we help reduce the environmental impact associated with waste and promote a circular economy.

Water Conservation and Management

Water is a precious resource, and we take several measures to manage it responsibly:

• Rainwater Collection: We collect rainwater from our roofs and store it in tanks for use throughout the property. This reduces our reliance on external water sources and ensures that we are using water efficiently particularly in the warmer summer months.

• Eco-Friendly Wastewater Treatment: Our wastewater is treated using environmentally friendly methods. After treatment, the water is redistributed into our orchard, where it helps nourish our trees, closing the loop in our water usage cycle.

Creating a Greener Future

Our commitment to sustainability is not just about implementing eco-friendly practices; it’s about fostering a culture of environmental responsibility and encouraging our guests to join us in our efforts.
