Our Story | Into The Wild Escapes – Born from a Love of Nature & Simplicity

In 2017, we were seeking deeper connection - with each other, with nature, and with the present moment. We longed for quality time spent together, free from distraction.

Our Story

From city stress to wild stillness – discover how Into The Wild Escapes came to life.

In 2017, a group of time-poor friends and family were seeking deeper connection – with each other, with nature, and with the present moment. When we stepped into nature and put our phones away, we felt calmer. More present. Happier. That awakening gifted us clarity – a pathway into “rewilding,” a holistic concept that restores ecosystems while restoring human connection. This moment of clarity became the spark for Into The Wild Escapes.

Our escapes are more than a getaway – they’re restorative experiences crafted to rewild the soul. Off-grid, nature-immersed, and beautifully minimal, our tiny homes offer luxurious comfort – think French linen bedding, St. ALi coffee, eco-friendly amenities – all within quiet sanctuary settings. Here, screens fade to birdcalls and the rush of city life is replaced by wild horizons. A few nights beneath the stars can truly shift your perspective.

Our dream is simple: to make rewilding not a luxurious afterthought, but an essential part of modern wellness – for our guests, our communities, and our land.

TRAVEL THAT GIVES BACK TO NATURE AND REGIONAL COMMUNITIES

Sustainability

Sustainability is woven into our DNA. From the day we built our first tiny home, our goal has been to create meaningful escapes that tread lightly on the land while helping guests reconnect with nature.

Every stay is powered by solar energy, next-generation battery systems, rainwater harvesting and engineered wastewater solutions, allowing our tiny homes to operate comfortably off-grid while minimising environmental impact. By designing smaller spaces with a lighter footprint, we encourage thoughtful travel that uses fewer resources without compromising on comfort.

Our commitment extends beyond the environment. We believe sustainable tourism should create positive outcomes for the places and people that make each destination special. We work with private landowners, regional businesses and local tourism operators to ensure every stay contributes to thriving regional communities. From recommending local cafés, wineries and experiences to creating additional income opportunities for landowners, every booking helps support regional Australia.

We are proud to align with the national Strive 4 Sustainability Scorecard, achieving an overall score of 80%, including 100% in Sustainable Management and Socio-Economic Impact, 95% in Environmental Impact and ongoing improvements in Cultural Sustainability.

Since launching, Into The Wild Escapes has helped save more than 16.6 tonnes of carbon emissions and 11.5 million litres of water through our off-grid infrastructure and sustainable operating model. At the same time, our guests have contributed more than $43.7 million to regional communities by supporting local businesses, producers and tourism experiences.

Our commitment to responsible tourism is strengthened through partnerships with Tourism Australia, Destination NSW and regional tourism organisations, helping us continually improve our environmental, cultural and community impact.

For us, sustainability isn’t a feature—it’s the foundation of every tiny home we build, every destination we choose and every guest experience we create. By protecting Australia’s landscapes and supporting the communities that call them home, we’re helping ensure these extraordinary places can be enjoyed for generations to come.
