EXPERIENCE NATURE WITHOUT CAUSING DAMAGE:

At Bay of Plenty Lodges we aim to minimise our impact on the surrounding environment and nature.

We encourage our guests to experience nature without causing damages by asking them to:

 

 

  • Stick to footpaths when bushwalking
  • Help us to protect wildlife by bringing back rubbish from the bush and beach - even it its not theirs.
  • Avoid taking plastic bags in boats and near the water. Litter such as tin and plastic can be dangerous to wildlife. Marine animals sometimes mistake white plastic shopping bags for squid. They swallow the plastic bag and usually die.  Rubbish also spoils the bush experience. Please put all rubbish in the bins provided or take it home with you.
  • Don't disburb bird nests/nesting birds which may be found on the beach e.g. of the endangered Little tern and Hooded Plover.
  • Don't feed animals.
  • Don't disturb animals - enjoy observing them in secret.
  • Don't remove any plants.
