Off-grid stays in the Snowy Mountains

Let’s be honest, in the city we can’t help falling into the hustle and bustle of the daily grind. Then we tend to plan jam-packed holidays, stacked with reservations, plenty of places to be and people to see, leaving you just as buggered as when you jetted off. As fun as that is, sometimes we crave an escape that lets us completely switch off. That’s when off-grid stays come in, creating the perfect bubble of tranquillity and rejuvenation, in no better place to do so, than the Snowy Mountains.

We’ve rounded up the most beautiful, unique, and captivating off-grid stays in the region that will transport you to another world.

Moonbah Escapez

Reconnect with nature at Moonbah Escapez’s off-grid tiny homes. Nestled in the bushland of the Snowy Mountains, the tiny homes offer an escape from the everyday while still including everything you might need to enjoy a cosy night away. Whether it’s cooking a tasty meal in the kitchen or on the BBQ, winding down in the outdoor bathtub, taking in the view with a good book and possibly spotting some wildlife, you’ll leave with a little less tension in your shoulders.

Hamilton House

Set across five stunning acres of private land at the foothills of Thredbo and Perisher, Hamilton House offers a variety of boutique, luxury accommodations. For those seeking a private getaway in the Snowy Mountains, the five self-contained villas and main house, sleeping 1-14 guests, are dispersed amongst sprawling native gardens and manicured grounds, and are fully equipped to be enjoyed all year round. Only five minutes from Jindabyne and 35 minutes to Thredbo Resort, Hamilton House welcomes all stays, whether it be a one-night stopover, a week-long holiday during the ski season, or a special event or catered celebration, with the entire property available for sole use.

Jimmy Doo

If you’ve got a big group of adventure lovers, pack your skis and snowboards and head to Jimmy Doo in Crackenback. The ultimate entertainer’s snow lodge, sleeping 22 adults and up to 8 children, it’s the perfect group escape to the alpine region. When you’re not carving down the mountain, explore the 270 acres of wilderness and enjoy outdoor features such as a hot tub, pizza oven, BBQ, fire pit, trampoline, playground and archery. Or retreat inside after a huge day and relax by the fireplace, watch a movie on the projector, or cook up a huge feast for your friends.

Freaks Of Nature Retreat

Glamping like you’ve never seen it before! Freaks of Nature Retreat is just 10-minutes from Jindabyne and sits on the mighty Snowy River. Choose from river side or sweeping mountain views and spend your days in a luxury safari style tent fit with a beautiful four poster bed and large outdoor deck space. It’s a stunning spot to unwind and unplug with a loved one or book both tents with your friends and have the place to yourself. With two antique French bathtubs on the verandah of the Mary Kingsley luxury safari tent… light the fire, pour a glass of wine, and soak in the view.
