At Noonaweena, we are committed to sustainability and supporting the local community. We prioritize buying local and organic produce, reducing food miles and supporting sustainable farming practices. Our extensive solar panels significantly reduce energy consumption and CO2 emissions, allowing us to power part of the facility through renewable energy sources.

We are passionate about beekeeping and have our own beehives on-site. Our Noona Raw Honey, produced by our bees, is available for purchase at our reception. By promoting beekeeping, we contribute to the sustainability of our food system, as bees play a crucial role in pollinating crops.

To minimize our environmental impact, we have implemented various initiatives. Our hot water systems are powered by solar energy, and fuel-efficient heat pumps and thermal covers are used for the outdoor spas to reduce energy consumption. We also have a self-sufficient water supply sourced from rain catchments, natural springs, water tanks, and bore water systems.

In our commitment to waste reduction, we compost our green waste on-site and use it as nutritious mulch for our gardens. Our chickens benefit from the scraps and provide guests with fresh eggs. Recycling bins are available in all lodges, allowing us to give plastic bottles, cardboard, and aluminum cans a chance to be transformed into something new.

Our septic system treats domestic wastewater in an underground tank, ensuring its purity and allowing grey water to be reused for ornamental gardens. This sustainable approach reflects our respect for the environment and our dedication to responsible tourism.

The name "Noonaweena" pays homage to the traditional custodians of the land, the Darkinjung Aboriginal people. It translates to "resting place in the bush," capturing the essence of this sacred land. As you gaze upon the majestic Blue Mountains heritage area, you'll feel a spiritual connection to the land, an experience we aim to share with our guests.

Noonaweena's commitment to sustainability has been recognized with Ecotourism Certification by Ecotourism Australia, the national body for Australia's ecotourism industry. Additionally, we have achieved Platinum Green Leader status with Trip Advisor in 2017. These accolades reflect our dedication to environmentally sustainable and culturally responsible tourism.
