We are becoming Eco-frindly!

We are working towards becoming an Eco-friendly accommodation through promoting sustainable activities at the complex and within the community. 

• All water used on the property is collected from the rooves of all our buildings, feeding into 3 large water tanks.  We have a total water capacity of ove5 510,000 L. 

• Our bathrooms have water-saving options and flow restrictors.  The toilet paper we use is super-soft, premium 100% sustainably sourced bamboo, Who gives a crap.  

• We encourage guests to borrow books from our library.

• We are developing our orchard and  vegetable gardens, so we have more produce available on the island and at Trade Winds Country Cottages.

• We do encourage guests to be mindful of their waste.  We have provided receptacles in each cottage to encourage recycling.  We take your  organic vegetable waste for our compost bins, or the worm farm. 

• Our guest amenities, laundry products wherever possible are sourced locally, reducing our carbon footprint, while supporting the local economy and using ecologically sound ingredients. 

• In cleaning, we use Tri Nature range, organic, natural, eco-friendly and Australian-made. 

• Our quilts are hypo-allergenic, anti-bacterial, warm, soft and luxurious.
