Lush luxury stays on the Bouddi Peninsula achieve national ECO Certification
“We would like to share with you, the very exciting news, that we are now an Eco-Certified business, by our industry body Ecotourism Australia. Brian and I are committed to sustainable practices in every area of the business. If you ever have any ideas on this, we would love to hear them. One of our most significant changes contributing to this new certification, is last year, Pete and Deb started working with a team of data specialists, from Impact Sustainability. We now measure, manage, track and report our emissions through their software. We'd love you to share this news far and wide, and, as always, we thank you for your support.”

“It’s so exciting for Pretty Beach House and Bells at Killcare to be ECO Certified. We are now truly on our Eco journey, which we will keep improving on year after year, as this space evolves. We are passionate about creating great experiences and our guests are wanting to feel like they too are making a difference when it comes to their travel choices. They are booking garden tours, exploring the national park, contributing to our give-back program and helping us raise money for community events. It’s been a heart-warming experience, and we will continue to mindfully support our partners and educate and inspire our guests.”
