Ecotourism

🌿 Ecotourism at Our Resort

Where nature, culture, and sustainability come together

Our resort is committed to offering an unforgettable experience that celebrates the natural beauty of our surroundings while protecting it for future generations. As part of our ecotourism philosophy, we focus on low‑impact activities, environmental stewardship, and meaningful connections with local communities.

Broken River Mountain Resort is an eco-resort with a primary focus on providing an experience of natural areas that foster environmental and cultural understanding, appreciation and conservation. Considered as the platypus capital of the world, the resort is a short walk from platypus viewing platforms that are open to the public and free to access. The best times to see platypus are when they feed in the early morning or late afternoon.
