  • Environmental Focus

At Chelsea Park we are cognisant of the impact we have on the environment and work hard to minimise that where possible. Our ethos is to refuse, reduce, reuse and recycle. We are working on becoming carbon neutral and as such are rolling out changes in the operation of our business; moving away from single use plastics is an example of this.

We are part of Nelson’s recycling programme. Please keep all recyclable items separate from rubbish for collection during the daily servicing of rooms.

We reuse our own glass milk bottles, which are sanitised and filled freshly for you.

We encourage energy conservation primarily by asking guests to be aware of energy conservation and environmental issues. Ways to improve energy efficiency include but are not limited to:

  •       Turn off lights, heaters, heated towel rails, television and radio when rooms are unoccupied
  •       Pull drapes to retain heat as the outside temperature drops
  •       Report any equipment in need of repair (e.g. leaking taps).
