ECOTOURISM

Making the environment our business

Nature turns on its charm during a stay at Yallingup Forest Resort.

We strive to protect and enhance the nature that surrounds us and have adopted environmentally-friendly practices at the resort.

Ecotourism Australia reward businesses who practice ecological sustainability, natural area management and provide quality ecotourism experiences. In Western Australia, only a handful of accommodation providers meet that standard and have joined the exclusive Eco Certification Program.

Visitors can be assured by our certification as a `nature tourism certified operator' means Yallingup Forest Resort is environmentally, socially and economically sustainable.

We minimise waste and use recycled products where possible as well as use fibre-based, tea-tree and organic-based cleaning product technology.

The resort has been a member of the Land for Wildlife program and Ecotourism Australia for five years. Our support of the environment and the local community is recognised in our membership of the Friends of the Cape to Cape Track, which runs close to the resort.

We comply with the requirements of internationally recognised advisory group, Green Globe 21 to meet sustainability targets, adhere to the aims of the WA Tourism Council and be endeavour to be a leader with support from Ecotourism Australia.

During your stay at the resort, we welcome you to enjoy the benefits of being close to nature. Bird-feeders adorn your chalets and food for our resident birds are available for guests.

We have made the environment our business at Yallingup Forest Resort and believe continued education, self-analysis and accreditation will ensure we are always at one with nature.
