Protecting the environment

We encourage guests to be mindful of their impact of their actions when visiting Rawnsley Park Station.  You can minimise the environmental impact of your stay by:

Air-Conditioning

Summer

  • Open doors, windows and curtains on cooler days - morning and evening.
  • If the temperature is in the mid-30 degrees Celsius or higher, and uncomfortable, turn on the air conditioner to 25 degrees in summer and 20 degrees in winter.
  • If staying in our Classic or Oasis Eco-Villas, please close the skylight cover and windows during the heat of the day in summer.

Winter

  • Dress warmly before putting the heater on.
  • Keep doors and windows closed.

Waste

  • Recycling plastic and aluminium containers by placing them in the large green bins provided around the property, mostly near laundries.
  • Keeping vegetable scraps separate and delivering them to reception or the restaurant for feeding to our chickens or use as compost.  (No bones, meat or dairy for composting please as these may attract vermin.)

Driving

  • Pump up tyres to correct pressure. Under-filled tyres can increase fuel consumption and raise GHG emissions by 10%.
  • Walking to the restaurant and shop.
  • Ride your bike, if you've remembered to pack it (unfortunately, we don't offer bicycle hire)
  • Drive carefully, speeding increases fuel consumption, drive smoothly to avoid braking and accelerating
  • Unload excess weight from the car.
