Taking care

Aquila operates under a covenant and is committed to preserving its 100 acres of bushland in its natural state

The Trust for Nature (TFN) regional coordinators undertake regular stewardship inspections to ensure that the covenant is being respected. 


Accredited by Eco Tourism Australia, Aquila is a regional retreat, that has been purposely built and runs in line with principles of sustainable living, aiming for minimal impact on the environment.

Surrounding the treehouses is flora and fauna that have been surveyed by Trust for Nature and includes many species unique to the Grampians National Park.

 

Aquila embodies a modern architectural design inspired by the natural world. Featuring passive heating and cooling properties, treehouse materials have been carefully selected for their sensitivity to the environment and fire considerations, whilst enhancing an environmentally conscious living experience.

Water

Our water is collected on-site, completely safe to drink, stored for everyday use, and reserved for firefighting. Whether you enjoy a cold glass of still water or a warm cup of espresso, our rainwater purification system ensures that your beverage is made with only the purest water possible.

Community

Our community extends from our guests to the local region to the animals and the flora and fauna surrounding Aquila.


We employ locally, and where possible continue to engage with local suppliers from the Grampians region.


We celebrate our revegetation program by planting indigenous plants, and have identified, catalogued, and protected the Grampians National Parks’ unique and endangered orchids.
