Clearview Lodge achieves Enviro-Gold award

- February 2010 -

Clearview Lodge owners and operators, Robin and Sue Clements were thrilled to be awarded Enviro‐Gold from Qualmark, to go with their 5‐Star Guest & Hosted rating.

"We designed Clearview Lodge with the environment in mind, including solar water heating, double‐glazing and a self-contained water treatment plant. Along with a raft of energy and water saving measures and extensive recycling and composting, we are extremely pleased that our efforts have been officially recognised" said Robin Clements.

"Visitors are increasingly looking at the environmental impact their holidays have, so guests can stay at Clearview Lodge with confidence that we are making a meaningful effort," says Sue Clements.

Qualmark is New Zealand tourism's official quality accreditation programme. The launch of Qualmark Green enviro-ratings in 2008 made Qualmark the world's first fully‐integrated environmental and quality accreditation programme for tourism.

The five key assessment areas for the Qualmark Green enviro‐ratings are energy efficiency, waste reduction, water management, and involvement in conservation and community activities.

Clearview Lodge is an ideal incentive and small meeting base. It was purpose built in 2001 in French-Chateau style and offers luxury bed and breakfast accommodation, just 10 minutes from the airport and 15 minutes to the central city. The estate enjoys its own Pinot Noir with 10 acres of vineyard, olive grove and peaceful garden.
