Environmental

Environmental stewardship and conservation is important to us. all our water is sourced from natural springs, is chlorine free, and better than any bottled water you’ll find on the market. Because we have a limited supply we ask you to be conscious of your consumption by doing basic things like turning off the water when you brush your teeth and limiting showers to less than 5 min. all waste is also processed onsite by our natural bio-filter, so we ask you to avoid antibacterial soap, compost your food waste (we provide all composting facilities), and keep everything except for human waste out of the toilet.

Because we’re in the witless bay ecological reserve (and because we like the planet in general) we do our best to minimize our impact on the surrounding ecosystem. We ask you to be mindful of the same during your stay with us.

Waste Management

We treat all waste onsite with our all natural bio-filter, which basically uses good bacteria to break down the pee and poop we flush down the toilet. This mean antibacterial soap is bad for our bio-filter since it will kill the good bacteria. As for what goes down the toilet, only pee and poo should be flushed. This means anything else (including used toilet paper) needs to go in the provided waste bins. Same goes for diapers, feminine products, “flush-able” baby wipes, condoms, paper towels, GI Joe figures, etc. – they all go into the waste basket.

Compost

We compost all plant based food scraps and egg shells. We provide compost bins for you to use. we use the food scraps to feed our organic garden (circle of life).

Water

All our water comes from a freshwater onsite underground spring. It’s chlorine free, ultra-filtered, and better than any bottled water on the market. It’s also in a limited supply, so protecting this finite resource is super important. That means limiting showers to under 5 min, turning off the taps when you brush your teeth, and generally being mindful.
