Wild Canvas Achieves Gold Sustainable Tourism Business Award!
We are thrilled to announce that Wild Canvas has completed its very first Qualmark evaluation and earned the prestigious Gold Sustainable Tourism Business Award along with a 5-star Glamping rating! This recognition is a testament to our commitment to delivering exceptional guest experiences while upholding the principles of sustainability and care for our environment.
At Wild Canvas, Manakitanga (hospitality and kindness) is at the heart of everything we do. We strive to not only welcome our guests warmly but to also foster deep connections with our community and the land we are privileged to call home.
As part of our journey to excellence, we have embraced key pillars of sustainability:
Community Engagement: Supporting local businesses and giving back to the Waitomo region through initiatives such as fundraisers and partnerships with local artisans.
Tiaki Promise Values: Protecting and preserving New Zealand’s natural beauty by encouraging responsible travel practices among our guests.
Environmental Care: From solar-powered amenities to an annual tree-planting initiative, we are committed to reducing our footprint and enhancing biodiversity.
Our Qualmark evaluation has inspired us to keep refining our practices and raising the bar for sustainable glamping. Whether it's ensuring our energy is sourced responsibly, maintaining high standards of guest care, or enhancing accessibility, we are dedicated to being a part of New Zealand’s sustainable tourism future.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to our guests, community, and team for being a part of this incredible journey. We can’t wait to welcome you back to Wild Canvas to experience the magic of our glampsite and the serene beauty of Waitomo.
Let’s continue to protect, preserve, and celebrate Aotearoa together!
