The ecohotel website is an easy to use, well designed directory of environmentally sustainable accommodation throughout Australia. The directory includes only handpicked properties, including some of Australia’s most prestigious and award winning luxury accommodation properties, such as Boroka Downs, Thala Beach Lodge and Karijini Eco Retreat, defying preconceived notions that being “green” means ‘doing without”.

The ecohotel directory aims to promote and encourage accommodation operators who have put into place significant initiatives to run their business in a more environmentally sustainable manner. For the first time, it is possible to find genuine environmentally responsible Australian accommodation in just one place, from resorts under the ecotourism banner, to hip city hotels implementing the latest eco technologies to cut waste in energy, water and product use.

The properties listed on the ecohotel directory are setting the standard for eco practices in the tourism industry by installing on site solar stations, establishing green management teams to oversee policy implementation and investigate new environmentally friendly suppliers, education for staff and guests and participation in international eco accreditation schemes.”
