Once again, sustainable tourism has played a leading role in the Australian National Tourism Awards. Winners were announced in Melbourne on March 3, 2012 and included a number of tourism destinations featured on the ECOHOTEL/ Green Getaways directory.
Special congratulations to the Lane Cove River Tourist Park for winning the prestigious QANTAS AWARD FOR EXCELLENCE IN SUSTAINABLE TOURISM
Situated only 10kms from the City of Sydney, nestled among 600 hectares of National Park, the Lane Cove River Tourist Park is known as Sydney’s environmentally friendly ecotourist park.
The Park has a variety of sites that suit all types of vans, large, small, slab or grass or for those seeking comfort, 28 park cabins. All of the expected park facilities are included.
Guests are made aware that they are doing their bit for the environment. The Park is completely carbon neutral, runs on green power, and has a water saving program. We are operated by the National Parks Service, so there is no shortage of native plants and animals.
The national award for UNIQUE ACCOMMODATION went to Eco Beach Broome, Australia’s North West, WA
One of the world’s most remarkable destinations, Eco Beach is a unique, luxury eco resort set in a pristine and untouched landscape just a little over an hour drive south of Broome. The retreat offers guests a perfect parallel of Kimberley beach and bush with the comfort and class of a resort. Accommodation is provided through a variety of beautifully appointed Eco Villas and luxurious safari style Eco Tents.
The beach itself provides a haven for nesting turtles whilst migrating whales frolic offshore.Activities are tailored to enhance your wilderness experience and include nature walks, cruises, kayaking, game fishing, beach fishing and bird watching. The flora and fauna of the landscape is both equally majestic and diverse.
