A U S T R A L I A

As you would have all seen across the media worldwide, Australia was ravaged by some wild bushfires which claimed the lives of way too many animals and displaced thousands from their homes. The best way we can support them is to not cancel any plans, in fact, to make plans to visit their regions and support their local businesses despite this devastation.

We have compiled some of our favourite regional accommodations around Australia and we hope that it inspires you to travel around Australia this year and support these incredible communities.

KIMO ESTATE ECO HUTS

They were designed to allow you to switch off from this busy world and get back to nature. Architecturally designed they are completely off-grid and make use of the sun the wind and the rain. They sit high on the hilltops, kilometers apart and overlook the beautiful Murrumbidgee River flats and the grand hills surrounding them in one of the most beautiful parts of Australia.
