Energy Efficiency:

Low energy bulbs used throughout the hostel
Promotion of public transport including bike rental and free bike storage – the easiest way to reduce your carbon footprint!

Waste Minimisation:

Recycling stations in kitchens, common areas and office areas to recycle anything from printer cartridges or our 100% recycled paper, to tinnies of beer and plastic containers, dead batteries and even a swap station for clothes no longer needed!
No plastic bottles or plastic bags on site, we only sell reusable

Water Saving measures:

Our showers and taps are 3 stars! 3 WELS stars that is… our toilets? They’re dual flush for peak bathroom efficiency!
Educate yourself with signage in bathrooms encouraging guests to minimise water usage
