1. Choose Eco-Friendly Accommodations

Opt for accommodations that prioritise sustainability. At Numie, we focus on eco-friendly practices such as using natural materials, composting, recycling, and reusing materials. Our accommodations, including Numie House, Numie Cocoon, and Glamping tents, offer luxurious yet sustainable experiences.

2. Pack Light and Smart

Travelling light reduces your carbon footprint. Bring reusable items like water bottles, shopping bags, and toiletries to minimise waste. Packing eco-friendly products can make a significant difference.

3. Embrace Local Experiences

Support local businesses by visiting nearby attractions and dining options. Explore the marine farm, indulge in local wineries like Devils Corner and Freycinet Vineyards, and enjoy the culinary delights of Coles Bay.

4. Respect Wildlife and Nature

Tasmania is home to diverse wildlife, including wombats, sugar gliders, and wallabies. Observe these creatures from a distance and avoid feeding them. Stay on marked trails to protect the natural habitat and help preserve endangered species like the golden spray.

5. Participate in Eco-Friendly Activities

Engage in activities that promote sustainability, such as hiking, walking tours, and kayaking. These low-impact activities allow you to connect with nature without harming the environment.

6. Minimise Energy Usage

Be mindful of energy consumption during your stay. Turn off lights and unplug devices when not in use. At Numie, we ensure that our accommodations are energy-efficient, providing a comfortable yet sustainable experience.

7. Educate Yourself and Others

Learn about Tasmania's unique ecosystems and conservation efforts. Share your knowledge with fellow travellers to promote awareness and encourage responsible tourism.

By following these tips, you can enjoy a fulfilling and eco-friendly vacation in Tasmania. At Numie, we're dedicated to providing an experience that aligns with your values, allowing you to relax, rejuvenate, and reconnect with nature.
