introduction to Komodo Dragon ecolodge in Flores
The Lodge is situated near Labuan Bajo on Flores. It is the only hotel of its type close to the Komodo National Park, a World Heritage Site.
It combines good accommodation, service and cuisine with the ideal opportunity to view the giant lizards (also known as Komodo Dragons) and dive, snorkel or view birds in one of the most beautiful coral and island areas on the globe.
The Lodge has mosquito proof rooms with AC, en-suite bathrooms with hot water, IDD phone and a desk with chairs.
It also has a swimming pool, bar and restaurant here you can view magnificent sunsets. The staff are all local people giving it a special atmosphere. Room rates include airport or port transfers, breakfast and daily laundry. We also have a vehicle hire service for local or Trans Flores safaris.
Proceed to Bali from where there are 6 flights a week to Labuan Bajo on Flores Island island located between Sumbawa and Timor. You can also go overland but this is much longer and more arduous.

how this holiday makes a difference
|
The lodge has developed envrionmentally friendly buildings with the use of solar power for hot water, a rain water storage system, and the use of a reed-bed and water garden sewage treatment system where all waste water is returned to the gardens through irrigation.
The lodge is considered an "eco hotel" because it fulfills the six main components of eco tourism, namely:
 All our staff are local people from Manggerai. Thus we fulfil the necessary requirement to use a majority of local people. Over 90% of funds are returned to the local community. Environmental training programs have been developed with all our stakeholders, namely our staff (through on the job training), our guests (through room files), the local government and community (by out reach) and the international community by working closely with the local office of The Nature Conservancy and The Komoso National Park (these organisations have used our lodge as a training centre for many workshops to do with coral reef protection). We also have been used by an AusAID project (named COREMAP) to give two workshops on eco tourism. |
Tourism can be good and bad for destinations & local people. We carefully screen every holiday against our criteria for responsible travel. 'Look behind the brochure' to find how each holiday makes a difference (see left). We don't claim to be perfect - there is no global accreditation - but we've led the way since 2001 and screened 1000's of holidays. We invite every traveller to write a review about their experiences and responsible tourism. This valuable feedback is sent to the people who run the holidays. We keep a very close eye on it and take off holidays that don't live up to our standards. |
