Sustainability at Mantra Hervey Bay

Here at Mantra Hervey Bay, we are committed to embedding sustainability into every facet of our daily operations. We recognise that sustainability is an ongoing journey and are continually striving to reduce our carbon footprint wherever possible. Below are some of the initiatives we have implemented to date.

Amenities

 We are delighted to share our ongoing commitment to reducing single-use plastics in our guest rooms. As part of this initiative, we have made a significant decision to eliminate single-use dry amenities, taking a bold step towards a plastic-free environment.

We understand the importance of preserving our planet for future generations. By removing single-use plastic amenities such as toothbrushes, combs, and shower caps from our guest rooms, we are significantly reducing our environmental footprint. Instead, guests can request dry amenities by visiting our friendly team at reception.

As part of our ongoing efforts, we have made the proactive decision to move to large format amenities, replacing our single-use plastic common amenities with eco-friendly pump dispensers throughout the hotel. By eliminating single-use plastic bottles, we are significantly reducing the amount of waste generated by our operations. This commitment aligns with our dedication to environmental stewardship and reflects our ongoing efforts to improve sustainability in all aspects of our hotel.

Food Waste

 At Mantra Hervey Bay, we are committed to reducing food wastage and promoting sustainable practices across our conferencing department. We understand the importance of minimising our environmental impact while delivering exceptional experiences to our guests.

  • Using sustainable bamboo plates, knives, forks and spoons
  • Support the community by purchasing from local suppliers
  • Recycling of bottles and cardboard waste.

Recycling

 At Mantra Hervey Bay, all hotel waste is separated into co-mingle, cardboard, food waste and general waste, minimising our impact on landfill.  In addition, we have taken several steps to further reduce water and embrace a circular system.

  • Signage in rooms to minimise water and electricity
  • Bulk ordering minimises single-use packaging
  • Containers for change – supporting community groups
  • Recycling our pillows and blankets to support people affected by domestic violence and homeless

Community Support

 We are committed to maintaining strong connections with our local community and give back wherever possible.

  • Donations to J&T Supporting the Homeless
  • Donations to Yoorana Womens Shelter
  • Endeavour Foundation supported by purchase of Biscuits for our Loyalty Gifts

Mantra Hervey Bay acknowledges the traditional custodians of which we work and live, the Butchulla people, and extend that to respect to their Elders past and present. 

Accessibility

At Mantra Hervey Bay, we strive to accommodate the diverse needs of all our guests, including those with mobility challenges with one dedicated accessible hotel room. Some of our standard apartments feature walk in showers to also support those with mobility issues.

We understand that external access is crucial for guests requiring mobility assistance, and we are happy to arrange for external ramps to be provided upon request. These ramps ensure smooth and safe entry and exit from the apartments, allowing guests to enjoy their stay with peace of mind.

Additionally, our friendly staff are available to assist with any specific accessibility needs or requests to ensure that every guest enjoys a comfortable and memorable stay with us.
