The
Ecotel has been established by the Kerans Family to provide unbeatable
value in accommodation while achieving growing ecological benefits.
The
Land
The
Ecotel is located on what was a 19th century dairy farm. Native
wildlife is being protected and the regeneration of plants encouraged.
Water
and waste
Low
flow shower heads have been installed and rubbish is being recycled.
Liquid soap and shampoo dispensers are being used as an alternative to
packaged products to reduce waste. Cleaning and laundry products are
phosphate free and biodegradable and clothes are sun-dried whenever
possible to reduce energy consumption. Dual flush toilets and water
tanks are being introduced.
Some
piping has been installed to commence landscape irrigation from the
root zone when a new recycling plant is installed.
Dual
flush toilets and water tanks have been introduced.
Energy
Twin
wind turbines have been secured to generate power for low wattage
outside lighting with some conduit already laid. Solar panels for hot
water heating and solar cells and a co-generation plant for energy are
planned.
Friendly
by Nature
The
Kerans are keen to create opportunities for people who stay at the
Ecotel to share ideas with the staff and to enjoy the company of other
guests, if they choose, by using the communal facilities.
