Our Story
Conservation & Sustainability at Misty View Cottages
It's our vision to provide a luxurious space for our guests to relax and rejuvenate while fostering an appreciation of the surrounding natural environment and native wildlife.
We continually monitor our impact on the environment and what measures we can implement to preserve it further for future generations, while maintaining strong relationships within the local community and sharing knowledge with others. Revegetation of native flora has commenced and is ongoing, along with adding to the produce grown on site that our guests can enjoy directly from the gardens. Misty View Cottages also align with programs such as Reforest to ensure our operations have minimal impact . We love where we live, and we want our guests, family and our community to continue living in this pristine environment sustainably for years to come. We shop to support the local community for produce that cannot be obtained onsite and for local employment. By shopping local it also reduces a footprint in travel for suppliers for us to obtain goods and services, by doing so it retains employment and money in the local community.
Objectives:
- Reduce our carbon footprint
- Conserve water
- Reduce all waste
- Eliminate plastic waste
- Comply with all environmental laws
- Use recycled producs where possible
- Safeguard the environment for future generations
- Support local suppliers
- Sustainable food forest for us and guests

What is a biosphere?

What makes the Sunshine Coast so special?
-The Sunshine Coast is the only place in Australia where three UNESCO Biosphere Reserves sit side-by-side: the Sunshine Coast, Noosa and Great Sandy Biospheres -Together, the three biospheres form an uninterrupted biosphere corridor across the Sunshine Coast
