Soap Dispensers – rather than single-use tubes.
Where I saw Soap Dispensers – Katrina, the boys, and I took a short getaway, and while we were away, I paid close attention to how other accommodation providers operate. Many of the ideas we use at Bimbi Park come from guest suggestions or inspiration from other places. At this particular motel, they didn’t have the typical little bottles of shampoo, conditioner, and soap. Instead, they used soap dispensers in the shower and over the hand basin. What a brilliant idea! It cuts down on waste by eliminating those half-used plastic bottles that often end up in landfill.
When We Got Back To Bimbi Park This Is What We Did
46% of the product went to the rubish - LAND FILL
We collected all the used bottles from the cabins to see how much is wasted. Out of 58 used bottles that I collected only 54% of the product was used. This means that 46% of the product, the bottle, the label, and the cap were going into landfill.
One Bulk Tub = 1388 small tubes
Therefore, each guest uses 10.8ml of shampoo, 10.8ml of conditioner, and 10.8ml of shower gel. A 15-litre tub of bulk product is the equivalent of 1388 little bottles, lids and labels.
The Dispensers
We searched the internet for pump packs and found lots of them. We went with The Dispenser company as they had good quality lockable dispensers.
You can get non-lockable ones for home use.

Conclusion:
In Australia, we experience 404 million visitor nights spent in cabins, motels, and hotels each year. When you think about that figure, it’s shocking to realize how many half-used little shampoo and conditioner bottles are tossed aside and end up in landfill. Each tiny bottle may seem insignificant on its own, but when multiplied by millions of stays, the environmental impact becomes enormous. This highlights the urgent need for more sustainable practices in the hospitality industry, such as transitioning to refillable dispensers, to reduce plastic waste and protect our planet for future generations.

What Our Wonderful Guests Have To Say
Thank you for your wonderful reviews and kind words. We’re truly grateful to be here, and it’s a joy to share this place with amazing people like you.
There is so much to do for the family and especially the kids. Mini golf, rock climbing water playground and a standard playground. Oh and don't forget to grab a bag of feed and give the cow, sheep, goats and chickens a feed. Keep a eye open above the goats to see koalas.
Great cooking facilities well enough for everybody and well kept and very clean. And if your so inclined brings some marshmallows as each site has its on fire pit ( wood is available to buy or you could go collect what you can find in the local area.
The only letdowns was the beds that were a bit lumpy/hard and the wifi being only available at the office area (we didn't have any reception on the grounds at all)
We also appreciated the help of the park staff to provide us with directions to different places of interest and hiking trails.
Finding a koala outside our cabin every morning was a great way to start the day!!
Bimbi Park is certainly well situated to explore the beauty of the Otways and we would highly recommend the park to anyone looking for a great, relaxing time away.
we had the double room en-suite cabin— super luxurious! staff were extremely welcoming and the grounds overall were very well kept. the goats are also super friendly!
