Sustainability at Castaways Resort

Sustainability at Castaways Resort

At Castaways Resort, we are committed to preserving the stunning natural beauty that surrounds us while providing exceptional hospitality experiences. Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do, and we continually strive to minimize our environmental footprint and support our local community.

Our Commitment to the Environment

  • Reducing Waste: We actively work to minimize waste across all areas of our resort. From implementing recycling programs to reducing single-use plastics, we're dedicated to finding innovative ways to decrease our impact on the environment.

  • Energy Efficiency: Through the use of energy-efficient lighting, heating, and cooling systems, we aim to conserve energy and reduce our carbon emissions. We're constantly exploring new technologies and practices to further improve our energy efficiency.

  • Water Conservation: Water is a precious resource, especially in New Zealand. We employ water-saving measures throughout our resort, from low-flow fixtures to efficient irrigation systems, to minimize water usage without compromising guest comfort.

Supporting the Local Community

  • Sourcing Locally: We prioritize sourcing products and services from local suppliers and artisans whenever possible. Not only does this support the local economy, but it also reduces the environmental impact associated with transportation.

  • Community Engagement: We believe in giving back to the community that supports us. Through partnerships with local organizations and initiatives, we actively participate in conservation efforts, community clean-ups, and educational programs to promote environmental awareness and stewardship.

Protecting Our Natural Environment

  • Preserving Biodiversity: Our resort is situated in a pristine coastal environment, and we recognize the importance of protecting the rich biodiversity that surrounds us. We work closely with conservation groups and authorities to safeguard local flora and fauna habitats.

  • Responsible Tourism: We strive to educate our guests about the importance of responsible tourism practices, such as respecting wildlife, staying on designated trails, and minimizing waste. Together, we can ensure that future generations can continue to enjoy the beauty of Auckland's natural landscapes.

Continuous Improvement

Sustainability is an ongoing journey, and we are committed to continuously improving our practices and seeking new ways to reduce our environmental impact. We welcome feedback from our guests and community partners as we work together towards a more sustainable future.

Join us in our commitment to sustainability and experience the beauty of Castaways Resort in harmony with nature.

DREAM GREEN

We are proud to be part of the Vendella Dream Green initiative where Vendella source plastic bottles that are made from the highest grade, premium plastic.​

These bottles are then thoroughly sterilised before being reduced from their raw state into small, pure white flakes. These small flakes are spun into a yarn, which is then transformed into a premium hypoallergenic microfibre.​

The final result is a snow-white, high-loft and luxurious softness that guests globally rave over.
