Eco-travel reimagined: Into The Wild Escapes launches Australia’s only off-grid tiny homes set within a native wildlife rescue and conservation sanctuary.
Escape into the wild like never before. Into The Wild Escapes is setting a new standard for eco-conscious travel with the launch of two stunning off-grid tiny homes located within the Hills Wildlife Sanctuary, just 45 minutes north-west of Sydney’s CBD in Dural.
These unique, family-friendly/ group retreats are the only off-grid tiny homes situated in an Australian native wildlife rescue and conservation sanctuary, offering an unparalleled opportunity to connect with nature while directly supporting vital conservation efforts.
Nestled amidst the lush beauty of a protected wildlife haven, Tiny Wombat and Tiny Wallaby are designed for families and groups who crave relaxation amongst nature and a deeper connection with Australia’s native wildlife. Each home accommodates up to six guests, making them perfect for families, groups of friends, or a multi-family getaway. And for those seeking even more space, both homes can be booked together, hosting up to 12 guests, creating a private wildlife escape like no other.
In addition to their stay, guests can dive even deeper into the sanctuary’s world through an exclusive, behind-the-scenes wildlife tour. This rare experience available as an ‘Add-On’ offers a chance to walk alongside dingoes, feed wombats and interact with birds and reptiles. You’ll also learn firsthand from the sanctuary’s passionate volunteers about the critical conservation efforts that are helping protect Australia’s endangered species.
“This partnership with Into The Wild Escapes allows us to create an extraordinary experience for guests, while directly supporting the vital work we do here at the sanctuary to protect Australia’s unique wildlife. It’s a win-win for conservation,” says Ben Dessen, renowned conservationist and CEO of the Hills Wildlife Sanctuary.
These tiny homes are more than just a place to stay, they’re an experience that immerses you in nature. Designed with a minimalist aesthetic these tiny homes feature eco-premium touches that connect you to the natural world. Guests can wake up to the aroma of freshly brewed ST. ALi coffee roasted in Melbourne, unwind with Leif’s botanical body care products, relax on Wandering Folk picnic rugs and enjoy the soothing native scents of Koala Eco cleaning products. Every detail has been thoughtfully curated to offer comfort without compromising sustainability.
Following the roaring success of Tiny Astrid’s outdoor hot tub, both Tiny Wombat and Tiny Wallaby feature their own Ember outdoor hot tubs, perfect for soaking under the stars while listening to the sounds of the wild. There’s no better way to end a day spent in nature than by unwinding in a bubbling, natural hot tub beneath the vast Australian sky.
“We’re thrilled to partner with the Hills Wildlife Sanctuary to create this one-of-a-kind nature retreat,” said Celeste Giannas, CEO and Co-founder of Into The Wild Escapes. “This project allows guests to not only escape into nature but also directly contribute to the ongoing conservation work that’s so crucial to preserving Australia’s wildlife. It’s a meaningful, immersive experience that will stay with you long after your stay ends.”
The names of the tiny homes—Tiny Wombat and Tiny Wallaby— are inspired by Dreamtime stories, celebrating Australia’s rich cultural heritage. ‘Wombat, Mudlark and Other Stories’ by Helen Milroy brings the adventures of a resilient wombat to life, while ‘The Two Wallabies’ by Henry Cook Jakamara weaves a traditional Warlpiri Dreaming narrative of kinship, survival and spiritual connection to the land.
With the addition of these two homes, Into The Wild Escapes now offers over 60 tiny homes across Australia, each offering its own unique way to connect with the natural world.
Tiny Wombat and Tiny Wallaby are now open for bookings. Don’t miss your chance to experience this extraordinary wildlife sanctuary stay. Every booking supports the Hills Wildlife Sanctuary’s conservation efforts, so you can rest easy knowing that your adventure is making a meaningful impact.
