Established in 2016, Unyoked was conceived by us, an indistinguishable duo with a shared passion for fostering a stronger bond between individuals and the great outdoors. Our mission is a simple yet audacious one: to inspire and facilitate frequent immersion into nature. Our solution is an intricate web of minimalist off-grid cabins, each discreetly nestled within the tranquillity of private lands that are conveniently positioned within a two-hour radius of major metropolitan hubs in Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom.
The inception of Unyoked stemmed from our observation of a growing trend partaken by rare pockets of individuals worldwide that leveraged nature as a stress reliever, a creativity enhancer, and a mental clarity booster – much like the way the rest of us would use a gym. This inspired an epiphany of sorts, a revisitation of a primal truth – humans require the invigorating embrace of nature.
Our dedication to quality leads us to meticulously handpick each location, ensuring each guest is left with an undeniable sense of relaxation, rejuvenation and mental clarity – a state we fondly refer to as being “unyoked”. Visitors can anticipate an unparalleled retreat as each cabin guarantees a sense of seclusion, lending the impression of being miles away from the hustle and bustle. However, our strategic positioning ensures that this escape is always within an easy 1-2 hour journey from your homebase or workstation.
Creating a unique and seamless experience is pivotal in our design process – as is evident in every facet of our offering, right from the parking layout to the coffee grinding setup. This is all done in a bid to help you ease into a relaxed rhythm while you bask in nature’s glory. Over the past six years, we have skillfully refined our cabins to facilitate an effortless and enriching communion with nature.
Our guests often recount their stay as a revitalizing journey which allowed them to reconnect with themselves, and their loved ones, in an unparalleled manner. They paint vivid images of stress ebbing away, replaced with the rhythmic cadence of nature’s harmony, leaving them feeling like they hit a much-needed reset button.
Among our unique range of cabin offerings, Banjo is a personal favourite. Settled approximately two hours south(ish) of Sydney amidst subtropical rainforest, Banjo offers the mesmerising view of a sprawling waterfall. The audible music of cascading water, accompanied by the occasional birdsong and the whispering wind dancing in the trees, is truly therapeutic.
Our holistic endeavor at Unyoked is aimed at amplifying an understanding of how nature can serve as an individual’s solution in their daily life, while crafting the most efficient path to achieve this communion regularly.
We have lately forged a partnership with AllTrails, the world’s most frequented outdoor platform. Together, we’re about to embark on a Global Nature Study, aimed at examining the positive effects of spending time in nature, with a focus on vital health indicators including stress, creativity and sleep patterns. We’re reaching out to nature enthusiasts in New Zealand to contribute to the study, offering 100 complimentary two-night stays along with additional subsidized experiences as encouragements. All participants will be granted complimentary access to Unyoked’s signature off-grid experience and an AllTrails+ membership. This will provide them with an opportunity to unearth the joys of the outdoors along with the uncharted trails in their vicinity – all in the pursuit of science!
