Diamond Waters Treehouse Retreat Eco Friendly Accommodation

Eco Friendly Accommodation

Eco Friendly and low environmental impact is what we are all about. At Diamond Waters Treehouse Retreat we have realised our vision to create a sustainable business which ensured the most environmentally responsible use for our land and protection of our valuable natural biodiversity.

The mindful planning, design, construction, furnishing and ongoing operation of the Treehouses ensures that we “tread lightly”, complement and blend with the natural environment without compromising on luxury.

The Treehouses have been awarded Dual Accreditation through Ecotourism Australia for Ecotourism and Climate Action Business.

Our Eco Focus

Planning and Design

The Treehouses sit comfortably with a sense of belonging in their precious coastal littoral rainforest and wetlands environment, up high with a bird’s eye view, positioned to be cooled by shade and sea breezes in summer and warmed by winter sun and renewable resources harvested on site.

Infrastructure and Services

Investment in appropriate infrastructure has ensured that our Treehouses are self- sufficient and sustainable. Services requirements are fully met on site without reliance on any “town” water or sewage.

Rain Harvest

100% water use requirements harvested and stored on site
(200KL storage capacity)

Waste

100% waste water management on site with natural sand filtration and recycling of irrigation water

Sun Farm

100% of Treehouse electrical energy requirements met by our solar power generation system

Instant gas hot water and cooking facilities ensure that energy can be supplied only on demand and without wastage.

How You Can Help!

We supply a complementary selection of nature based, earth friendly and biodegradable products for the use of our guests during their stay and are delighted when we are asked to provide advice on where our guests can also find them and take them home.

Recycling is a priority at Diamond Waters, from the vegetable scraps turned into eggs by our chickens or our reclaimed timber fence. All other recyclable items can be placed in the appropriate bins provided.

We treasure our wild native flora and fauna. Please refrain from feeding any of our native animals. It’s best for them to feed only on natural food sources and ensures that they do not become pests.

Please turn off all outside lights when not in use it is helpful for our nocturnal feeders if we don’t scare off either them or their natural food source.
