This outback retreat offers you the chance to escape from it all and enjoy organic, free range, fair trade and biodynamic products while being surrounded by the rugged outback.

3. Orpheus Island Lodge

 

Orpheus Island Lodge offers some of the best sustainable accommodation in Australia. This private island resort on the Great Barrier Reef is committed to reducing waste by removing single-use products and providing washable slippers, stainless-steel water bottles and ceramic Keep Cups to all guests. Don’t even mention plastic straws! It’s paper-only straws here.

 

 

You’ll also contribute to protecting and preserving the Great Barrier Reef, because a percentage of your room fee goes towards the Morris Family Foundation Reef Keepers Fund. If you want to be more hands-on, you can join eco-friendly tours and excursions, such as the Picnic Bay Beach Clean-Up outing and eco-educational snorkelling and scuba diving. You can even purchase a rashie made from recycled plastic to wear when snorkelling, with all profits going to protecting the reef.
