THE ENVIRONMENT
“At Turnstone Beach House, we are serious about our role in protecting our island and being “clean and green.”
We are recognised for having environmentally sustainable properties and we currently have the first and only, PLATINUM Tripadvisor “Greenleader” status on the island for Turnstone Beach House.
Please see below for a list of some of our “green practices” we have already taken on.
Water Saving- Both properties are on “tank water” and we encourage water saving practices.
Power/energy Saving- Our properties have been designed to extract the heat of the sun in winter and to make the most of the cooling sea breezes in summer. We have installed LED Globes, our appliances are energy rated and heaters are fitted with timers. One property has recently had a large solar panel system installed and there are plans in progress to have the remaining property using solar power within 1 year.
Eco Friendly- Our cleaners use eco friendly products and we have provided you- “Our guests” with Australian made and eco friendly toiletries to use during your stay.
Waste Saving- Both properties have compost bins and we try to minimise any food or rubbish wastage.
We have provided you with reusable items such as cloth napkins, glass cups, ceramic dishes.”
What we love…
Turnstone Beach House was designed by renowned coastal architect and surfing filmmaker Paul Witzig. The house is a stunning design, built to take advantage of its wonderful location and beautifully fitted and furnished.
Tell me more…
Turnstone Beach House is located on beautiful King Island with close up views of the Southern swells. The sea is on three sides and all rooms have ocean views. The house is designed to capture the sweeping views and the glory of the mesmerising Southern Ocean sunsets. The design of the house effortlessly bring the outside in, without disturbing the landscape, with island inspired woodwork in Tasmanian timbers, and glass that naturally frames the surrounding coastal landscape.
The ocean right out front is full of crayfish and abalone. Many varieties of fish are caught right off the beach in front and of course all round the Island. For bird lovers there is also an abundance of life on the beach. The house is named after the Ruddy Turnstone which can be seen seasonally on Little Porky Beach.
