Airlie Beach YHA is committed to reducing its environmental footprint through a mix of conservation and sustainable practices. We also partner with the community to participate in Earth Hour every year… wanna learn more? Keep scrolling!

Energy/Greenhouse Gas Reduction:
- Low energy bulbs keep our hostel well lit, but doesn’t cost the earth
- Promoting the use of public transport, the easiest way to be eco-friendly
- Bathroom exhaust operated only when required, who needs fans on in an empty room?

 |
Waste Minimisation:
- Recycling stations in kitchens, common areas and office areas to recycle anything from printer cartridges to our recycled paper, to tinnies of beer, old clothes, and plastic containers
- Our swap station gives second-hand goods new life!
- No plastic bottles or plastic bags in site, we’re proud to only sell reusable

Water Saving Measures:
- Our taps and showers are 3 star! Well, WELS 3 stars for water efficiency.
- The loo? It’s dual flush for ultimate #efficiency when you use the bathroom
- Signage in bathrooms encouraging guests to minimise water usage
- Hostel gardens are filled with drought resistant plants to not only save water, but look cute while they do
