Making Ribbonwood Retreat Greener

​Our commitment to sustainability is evident through our broad spectrum of green initiatives. We take conscious steps to minimize our carbon footprint, including planting five hundred trees on our property and engaging in active carbon reduction and offsetting. In addition, we participate in environmental community projects as volunteers and prioritize recycling.

​

We believe in harnessing the potential of our land to its fullest extent. This includes creating our own soap in-house, growing food, and sourcing resources locally as much as possible, not just for us, but for our guests as well. Our efforts have also resulted in a thriving habitat for birds, making our retreat a haven for nature lovers.

Join us at Ribbonwood Retreat, where we pave the way for a sustainable future while offering an unforgettable experience amidst the stunning beauty of Franz Josef Glacier on New Zealand's west coast.
