Turning Food Waste into Purpose in Queenstown.

Our Queenstown hotels proudly joined the Waste to Wilderness Programme, a future-focused initiative transforming food waste into meaningful environmental outcomes. Through this programme, our food waste is diverted from landfill, supporting regenerative solutions that help nourish the environment we are privileged to operate in. Each of our three Queenstown hotels has access to data, enabling us to track our impact.

Ensuring hotel food waste doesn’t end up in landfill has many benefits. For example, our three hotels separated over two thousand kilograms of food waste over the past six months that would otherwise have been buried in landfill. This creates methane, a greenhouse gas that worsens climate change; instead, this waste is turned into compost for community gardens and used to regenerate native forests.

Across our wider hotel group, food waste is managed through a range of solutions, including on-site worm farms, feeding local piggeries, commercial composting, and eco-gas generation—ensuring thoughtful hospitality extends beyond the guest experience and into the communities and environments we serve.

The Waste to Wilderness Programme has gained national and international recognition, with Destination Queenstown hosting international media at the site and showcasing the initiative at global trade shows and exhibitions.

This collaboration is one way Millennium Hotels and Resorts is helping shape a more sustainable future for hospitality.

Thank you to Seven Sharp for the feature.

The numbers are in for the first quarter of 2025 for our partnership with Save the Kiwi NZ. With the help of our guests, 12,250 ‘kiwi meals’ have been donated towards our official Charity of Choice.

Millennium Hotels and Resorts New Zealand partnered with Save the Kiwi in July 2023 to create a unique opportunity for guests to donate a ‘kiwi meal’ to Save the Kiwi. Opting out of having your room serviced on a multi-night stay helps the hotels conserve water and energy, the funds from these resources can then be redirected towards Save the Kiwi.

This innovative approach sees a guest simply reducing their own room servicing needs and ensures a kiwi gets fed and a safe environment to grow. Every time a guest chooses the daily ‘no room servicing’ option on a multi-night stay by using their Save the Kiwi door hanger at any Grand Millennium, Millennium, Copthorne, Kingsgate or M Social hotels in New Zealand, Millennium Hotel and Resorts will donate a meal for a kiwi at Save the Kiwi’s kiwi crèche in Napier.

Thanks to all involved who make this partnership successful, keep up the good work and please come stay again!
