Coral Bay beach accommodation in Western Australia
How this vacation makes a difference
Environment
We are reducing our carbon footprint by implementing systems to reduce our consumption of power and water. By installing grey water recycling systems into our new villas, rather than using fresh water, our grey water from these units is used to water plants in surrounding garden areas. Artesian water from the naturally occurring bore is used to heat water for showers and sinks in these units. This reduces our consumption of power and water in our remote low rainfall region.
The average annual rainfall is only 100mm, and water is a valuable commodity to be used sparingly. Water within the Coral Bay townsite comes from an 830 metre deep bore that we installed and maintain. We use reverse osmosis to desalinate all drinking water. The bore water is perfectly suitable for showering, food preparation and cooking. We have planted over 3,000 trees to provide shade and attract birds and butterflies. Salt resistant strains of grass have been established within the grounds of our resort. Grassed areas are regularly replanted following peak vacation times.
The two tour and charter boats operated by us - Miss Coral Bay III and MV Ningaloo - are specially designed to prevent damage to the coral reef and are powered by environmentally responsible motors. Also, fishing is not permitted within sanctuary zones along the reef
Community
Recycling is not available in our region. We advise of this on our website and in our brochures and encourage our guests to consider packaging carefully & take rubbish with them upon departure, where possible.
To support marine research in the Coral Bay area, we donated and maintain the building for the North West Research Association. This research station is operated with the assistance of the Murdoch University Foundation and offers laboratory and office facilities with accommodation for up to 10 persons.
