Here's just a few examples, for every measure in place to be keep our sustainability efforts on going, visit our sustainability page here.

• Energy efficiency efforts include solar panels to power our hot water, centrally controlled air-conditioning for maximum efficiency, external moveable louvres outside of windows in the rooms to help regulate temperature, and low energy light bulbs with motion sensors.

• We don't have plastic bottles or plastic bags on site but do have reusable bottles and keep-cups for sale.
• Our swap shelves give second hand goods, clothing, food and more, new life when our guests are heading off on their next adventure.
• We have a rainwater tank that flushes the toilets and a second tank to preserve as much water as we can. We encourage our guests to take shorter showers, turn off taps while brushing teeth and to report any leaks etc.
• Social sustainability is also important to us - funds generated from a percentage of each guest's overnight fee, provide for the ongoing conservation, interpretation and education of The Big Dig site.
