Halls Gap - Grampians Eco YHA and Sustainability

At Grampians Eco YHA, you’ll be greeted by the resident chickens, a cosy fireplace and equally toasty hospitality.

Located on the outskirts of Grampians National Park, the area is a protected nature reserve absolutely brimming with unique flora and fauna - we’re committed to protecting the ecosystem in every little way we can. It’s why we earned the Eco certification!

Energy reduction:

Low energy lighting: used throughout the hostel
Solar hot water system: Our solar hot water system uses an electrical boost and was entirely funded by the Sustainable Hotels Fund

Waste minimisation:

Recycling stations all around the hostel, including compost for the chickens and worm-farm!
Herb garden on-site: Spice up your life with free herbs
Chickens on-site: Enjoy fresh eggs from the hostel chickens

Water conservation:

Rainwater tanks: ‘cause who needs to flush with drinking water?!
Greywater recycling: keeping our garden happy without wasting a drop
Water efficient taps and showers: they’re 4 stars! (WELS)
Dual-flush toilets: #efficient

Social Sustainability

Planting native gardens: happy plants, happy wildlife!
Community initiatives: Clean Up Australia Day, helping plan a sustainable hike in the Grampians National Park, donating unclaimed lost property, and raising money for local wildlife carers… we love supporting our community.
