Heritage Accommodation in Hokitika

How We Care for Our Part of New Zealand . . .

Included in our code of care is:
Sourcing local produce wherever possible, to support local businesses and our community.
To commit to legal compliance — our business ensures compliance with relevant environmental legislation and regulations.
To think before we use — Energy, water & other resources that impact on the environment.
To think before we discard — Recycling materials wherever possible & composting green waste.
We welcome your support for this initiative.
