Detailed description of the Caring for the Destination Initiative:
In late 1998, work began to build Fiji's first designed eco-tourist resort on the Rain Tree Lodge site. Features of this design include recycling of all "grey" water and triple filtering of toilet waste, composting of all paper and vegetable matter, no pesticides and wherever possible food is home-grown or organic. Timber buildings are carefully sited amongst trees and boulders (only one tree was removed during construction), with views over the lakes - accommodation caters for backpackers in one section of the property (three dormitories with self catering kitchen and toilet/shower blocks with hot water showers) and couples/families in another section (four detached Bures).
Raintree Lodge is sited on Naulukaroa [which in Fijian means "head of the clan"] on what was once a volcanic plug.
