At Kia Orana Villas and Spa, our relationship with the environment isn't just transactional; it's deeply rooted in the respect and guardianship values of Mana Tiaki. We recognise our responsibility as the guardians of the land to preserve it for future generations. We understand the integral role the environment plays in the Cook Islands cultural and spiritual traditions. We want to keep these traditions alive, and share their significance with guests, our team, and the community. We have implemented a variety of eco-friendly practices, such as using only eco-friendly cleaning products, washing powder, and toilet paper, as well as having our own grey water treatment plants, worm farm, and solar water heating panels. We buy products in bulk to reduce packaging waste, minimise the use of plastic, and have recycling bins. We provide commercially filtered water to guests, thereby reducing the demand for plastic bottles. We have been gold sponsors of Te Ipukarea Society since 2019 to further our goal of environmental preservation.
