Our Responsible Tourism Statement.
Welcome to Kowhai Farm, we hope you will enjoy your stay with us.
We believe in protecting our environment and want to ensure that it stays the same for future generations to enjoy.
Most of our guests want to help, so we invite you to read our environmental policy.
You may wish to:
Re use towels by hanging them on the towel rack. Towels that need washing can be left by the washing machine, fresh towels are available in the Farm Stay bathroom.
Our policy is to change bed sheets every seven days, if you want your sheets changed more often please advise a staff member.
Turn off lights, equipment and air conditioning/heating when not required.
PLEASE TURN OFF HEATERS DURING THE DAY WHEN YOU ARE AWAY HORSE RIDING.
Conserve water by taking shorter showers or turning taps off when not required.
Recycle waste. Please use our recycling bins yourself, they are located by the dining area & outside the dorm rooms.
Hang clothes on the outside line to dry or use drying racks.
Our sustainability will be an ongoing journey which should improve with time and experience.
In order to achieve this we pledge the following:
To think before we buy – we buy locally and order in bulk whenever possible. We re-use or recycle before buying new.
To think before we use – By efficient use of energy, water, office products, fuel and other resources we ensure our business reduces the environmental impact.
To think before we discard – we recycle as much waste as possible.
Our business will train and inform staff so they can actively participate in helping our environmental sustainability.
