Reduce, Reuse And Recycle
Hotel on Devonport recognizes that every effort needs to be made to run our business so it’s environmentally friendly as can be, we need to be responsible for our actions and take pride in keeping New Zealand beautiful and sustainable.
The following is the Hotel on Devonport's commitment to achieve a New Zealand that remains clean and green forever:

- We offer guests the option of re-using your towels if you stay more than one night
- We have fresh air fans in all rooms to promote fresh air flow and as an alternative to the use of air-conditioners.
- All rooms are fitted with hush double glazing to maximise comfort and reduce the need for air conditioning.
- All toilet tissue throughout the hotel is Earth Care, 100% recycled paper.
- Throughout the hotel "switch it off" stickers are placed as a prompt to save power.
- Staff to use re-usable paper when appropriate.
- Hallway lighting and car park lighting is set on timers to save energy usage.
- We buy local produce and supplies when possible.
- Large amounts of left over food is donated to the food bank.
- Water glasses & carafes are used in the conference rooms to promote usage instead of plastic bottles.
- Inhouse magazines like Sky Watch are recycled each month.
