The cottage brings a unique self-contained sustainable experience to visitors which features entirely off-grid solar-power, a filtered rainwater supply and an organic worm waste management system which converts sewerage and other non-compostable waste into liquid fertiliser. The design of the cottage also maximises airflow and comfort while reducing its carbon footprint. Renewable and recyclable products are used in the cottage. Visitors are informed of their environmental impact upon arrival and are encouraged to recycle the waste using the recycle bins provided.

The cottage also actively involves in the reforestation project in the area to regenerate the rainforest and extend the habitat for the wildlife. More than 1,000 trees have been planted to create the lush and biodiverse environment which exists today. With the effort of reforestation, visitors can observe some threatened bird species and precious local flora like orchids from the cottage.
