Eco-friendly places to stay
Smelly composting toilets, dark dingy bunk accommodation and cold showers…that’s the unfortunate impression some travellers have of eco-friendly accommodation. Yet ecotourism in Australia comes in a spectacular variety of forms, from ultra-luxurious, wallet-whacking resorts with massages, spas and top-quality wine, through to free camping sites by isolated beaches. Most regions offer at least a couple of places where you can bed down with a clean (and green) conscience: eco-retreats, converted lighthouses, lodges, safari tents, cabins, cottages and more.
Whatever you want to spend, you can find sensational eco-friendly stays in this country.
