Our Commitment

Our Commitment to Sustainability, Community & Conservation

At Waukivory Estate, sustainability is not just a promise – it’s how we live, grow, and welcome our guests.

We believe every stay should do more than just delight — it should contribute to the regeneration of the land, the wellbeing of our community, and a more climate-conscious future. From eco-friendly operations to authentic cultural respect and community connection, we’re proud to walk gently and with purpose.

🌏 Environmental Responsibility

Waukivory Estate is proudly committed to low-impact living. Our practices are grounded in regenerative farming and nature stewardship:

• Water-saving systems and thoughtful design help reduce unnecessary consumption.
• Rotational grazing supports weed control, improves biodiversity, and restores soil health.
• Chemical-free gardens and native revegetation protect the local ecosystem and native species.
• Waste reduction initiatives include composting, recycling, and minimal single-use plastics.
• Eco-friendly products are used throughout the accommodation, including sustainably sourced linens and natural cleaning solutions.

🌱 Climate Action

We are continually working to reduce our emissions and environmental impact:

• We monitor our energy consumption and prioritise efficient operations across the estate.
• Guests are encouraged to participate in carbon-light stays, including optional linen reuse and low-waste picnics.
• We are currently exploring local carbon offset initiatives to deepen our climate contributions.
• Regenerative farming itself acts as a carbon sink, sequestering carbon through restored soil biology and native planting.

🧡 Community Connection

Waukivory Estate is deeply rooted in the Mid North Coast community:

• We source locally wherever possible, from our teas and treats to our toiletries and timber.
• We host open farm days, educational workshops, and school visits to share knowledge on sustainability and slow living.
• We proudly support regional charities, including our ongoing support for Do It For Dolly, promoting mental health and kindness.
• Wherever appropriate, we consult with and learn from local Indigenous voices, weaving respectful cultural understanding into our practices and guest experiences.

🌾 A Stay That Gives Back

When you visit Waukivory Estate, you're not just enjoying beautiful countryside and heartfelt hospitality — you're supporting a model of tourism that restores, respects, and gives back.
