Is there anything that you would like to highlight, add or clarify?
We aim to achieve continual environmental improvement through implementing an environmentally aware management system with objectives and targets to minimise our environmental footprint.

Our suites were designed and built using sustainable principles that extend to include the native landscaping and gardens that surround them – offering year-round colour and diverse habitat for the native birds and wildlife that also call Mt Hay home. These gardens help cool us in summer and protect us from bracing winds in winter.

Native wildlife that can be seen on the farm includes wombats, protected Brush Tailed Rock Wallabies, Echidnas, Lyre birds, Kookaburras, Wedge Tailed Eagles, Black Cockatoos and many, many more, including our very own herd of Cows, Goats, Chickens and Dougal our tickle loving Irish Setter.
