Environmental policies at Starhaven Retreat

 

At Starhaven Retreat we endeavour to make the Bellarine Peninsula a greener and eco friendly place by implementing the most sound environmental practices possible, these include:

 

Electricity

• We produce solar energy with 80 panels on the roof deck, this supplies upwards of 23% of our energy used at Starhaven

• The majority of lighting is energy saving in form of LED & fluorescent lights

• Use of energy efficient LED television’s in guest rooms

• Switching off mini-bar fridges when not in use

 

Water

• 20,000 lt rain water tanks supply water for toilets and washing machine

• Towel re-use program to save water and electricity

• Only change sheets every second day

 

Recycling

• Recycle all plastic, glass and paper  from Starhaven Retreat and guest rooms

• Reduce waste where possible

• Use of FSC Certified papers

 

Please join your fellow guests in caring for the environment by re-using your towels in your room as well as the towels from the spa & sauna area. Give the environment a break on your beach break and make a difference.

 

Working together we can make that difference room by room.
