Hanmer Glamping is set in a stunning environment and we would like to keep it that way. We try to minimise any harm to the environment.

Sustainability is important to us. We have worked hard to create a Glamping site that blends with nature and uses minimum resources. We recycle, reuse and replant wherever we can. Below are key areas where we are achieving this. If you think we can improve, feel free to share your feedback with us.

Hot Tubs

Yes, we burn wood in the hottubs – but the trees are from our own property and for every tree we fell, we plant a minimum of 2 more. On average, the number of trees we plant in a year is often about 10 times the number we cut down.

Insulation

Our geodome tents have an internal foil backed insulation layer to help keep them cosy in the winter and cooler in summer. House quality under floor insulation means less heating is required.

Renewable Electricity

We use heatpumps for heating and cooling inside the dome tents and we buy our electric from Meridian Energy because they use 100% renewable energy.

Toilet Paper

We buy our toilet roll from With Small – it’s paper free toilet roll made from bamboo from a net zero carbon company.

Food Waste

We provide a food waste bin and use this to feed our hens or as compost. This helps reduce landfill waste. In return we offer free range eggs. We are also happy to share some of worms if any guests are wanting to start their own composting!
