Crystal Creek Meadows Luxury Cottages and Spa Retreat in Kangaroo Valley has become the first tourism operator in NSW to have successfully completed the Climate Action accreditation program to tackle the affects of climate change. Climate Action is operated by EcoTourism Australia.
Owner Christopher Warren and his family have applied the highest possible standards of sustainability to their award-winning self-contained cottages and residence. They have piloted the Climate Action program for Australia and have achieved the highest level – Leader – which only two other operators have achieved in Australia.
Crystal Creek Meadows sustainability achievements include:
- cut in energy use by over 40 per cent
- uses only 100 per cent accredited green renewable energy
- cut landfill waste by 20 per cent
- offers guests offset options
- cut overall CO2 footprint from 50 tonnes per annum to 14 tonnes per annum
- offset CO2 balance through a program of tree planting with the double benefit of improving the biodiversity of the property and rehabilitating frog habitat
- undertaken a Climate Change risk management assessment and mitigation program
Crystal Creek Meadows Luxury Cottages and Spa Retreat won the Best hosted accommodation category at the Australian Tourism Awards last month.
