Our Commitment to Sustainability

Say goodbye to single use plastics, this is implemented in a variety of ways including:

• Bathroom amenities in refillable pump bottles
• Water refill stations for guests to use to reduce plastic bottles
• Minibar plastic bottles replaced with aluminium cans/glass bottles
• Selected locally brewed beers delivered by keg to reduce glass bottle and cans waste
• Replaced plastic pens with a biodegradable rolled paper-based pen
• Digital kiosks to reduce use of paper during check-in and check-out
• Use of BioPak products to reduce landfill waste and lower emissions

We’re building sustainability into the way we update and run the hotel:

• Energy-efficient LED lighting with motion sensors across the hotel
• High-efficiency appliances installed during upgrades
• Air conditioning systems with low impact refrigerants
• Switching from water-cooled to air-cooled chillers to save water

Internally, we foster a culture of environmental stewardship through regular training, team engagement and community collaboration.

Our team can also choose to participate in the EVT Stretch Contributions program, donating a portion of their weekly pay to charitable organisations, including biodiversity conservation funds such as Conservation Council SA.

We’re choosing to respond to a changing climate, empower our people and customers to take part, and share our progress along the way.

So far, we have:

• Made towel and linen reuse available in every room by introducing an incentive called ‘Go Green’. This initiative is to encourage guests to say ‘no thanks’ to housekeeping, with a $10 food & beverage voucher each night a guest chooses to help us to reduce water and energy consumption.
• Implementation of an organic waste collection program by WasteFlex for external composting.
• Recycling bins are provided throughout back-of-house operations and public areas to encourage waste separation and recycling.
