A unique achievement

Mountain Spirit Resort is the only accommodation provider in the Kimberley area to have achieved the four Green Key status.

The road to achieving this standard started with the design of the building. Environmentally conscious decisions were made, such as incorporating geothermal heating and cooling for the entire resort building, including the year round, outdoor pool and hot tub. In the construction of the building, more environmental initiatives were adopted—including automatic lighting in common areas, energy star rated appliances and low-emissivity windows.

A team effort

Bellstar Hotels and Resort's local team has been working hard to build upon this foundation. Bellstar has achieved this Green Key Eco-Rating in less than 12 months as rental manager for Mountain Spirit Resort.

Nigel Hamacher, guest services manager, said, "We're very proud of what we do to consider our environment here. Every member of staff is doing their part. It's a great team and a great resort."

Nigel's team has come up with ideas such as donating toiletries to the homeless and elderly and carrying out a wide range of recycling internally.
