Golden Bay Hideaway

Will I survive a composting toilet experience?

The Greenies and the House Truck are truly unique places to stay. Part of that experience is the composting toilets.

Many guests find staying with us offers them their first experience with a composting toilet.

This may bring about many questions and sometimes a little concern for the unknown, or a different way to 'normal'.

The composting toilet is very easy to use - simply do what you need to do, followed by a small amount of sawdust - close the lid and you're done! In Kiwi Greenie and Little Greenie we are trialing using LESS sawdust so we will put a light coverage of sawdust in the toilet at the changeover.
The beauty of the composting toilet is you can also put all of your food wastes in it to compost down as well. They are a big part of the environmental philosophy at the Hideaway. Tampons are OK in the compost system but sanitary pads and nappies must go in the rubbish.

Read the feedback left by guests about the composting toilet:

"Very impressed with toilet - I will be putting one in our new house - loved it, can't wait to recommend it!"

"Even changed my mind about composting toilets - it's completely odourless - bravo!"
