Our Vision
Millbrook's environmental vision is to actively reduce or mitigate any adverse effects on our environment. This is achieved by wise planning and development; enhancing natural watercourses and open areas; buying and sourcing produce locally when available; using our natural resources efficiently; reducing and disposing of all waste responsibly; and providing a socially and environmentally responsible product without compromising on our guest’s comfort and enjoyment.
Millbrook Resort and the Environment
Qualmark is New Zealand tourism’s official quality assurance organisation, providing a trusted guide to quality travel experiences in New Zealand. Every accommodation provider who is Qualmark rated has undergone a rigorous independent assessment and licensing process to become part of the Qualmark licensing system.
In addition to being awarded the Qualmark 5 Star Hotel Rating, Millbrook has also achieved a Qualmark Enviro Gold Rating, which recognises sustainable initiatives employed by tourism businesses in New Zealand, and is the highest environmental grading Qualmark issues.
Our stunning alpine setting and rural environment are an essential part of what attracts visitors to Millbrook, so it’s not surprising that preserving it for future generations is foremost in our thoughts. All businesses that have a Qualmark rating are assessed on their environmental performance, which recognises businesses for their initiatives in energy, waste, water, conservation and the community. Our Enviro-Gold Rating is in acknowledgement of Millbrook’s continued effort to operate as a sustainable resort.
Millbrook works hard to support our natural environment by undertaking a number of actions and making smart choices. We recognise the importance of taking these steps to achieve the best environmental performance possible whilst maintaining our luxury five-star product; which we recognise sometimes do not naturally co-exist.
