\u201cWe wanted not only to share the incredible places we\u2019ve discovered but also drive sustainable and lasting change, by helping to redefine the concept of \u2018luxury\u2019. Fewer possessions, more meaningful experiences. Stripping away the noise to discover what exactly is meaningful. By sharing places where nature is front and center, where the pace of life is slow, we encourage visitors to press pause and truly engage. In turn, this means we can support emerging tourist economies and the communities that serve them throughout the year.<\/p>\n

How we work<\/h2>\n

On our own travels, we look for special places to stay, where the natural surroundings are beautiful and cared for, and where spending time means supporting local businesses and communities. We only work with an exclusive portfolio of handpicked properties, developing a personal relationship with owners and clients to ensure a good match for everyone.<\/p>\n

FAQs<\/h2>\n

Why does it take time to check availability?
\n<\/strong>We\u2019re a small team, and we arrange every booking personally with the owners of our portfolio of properties \u2013 and you\u2019re more likely to find them hiking up a mountain, surfing a reef break or kayaking across a lake than sitting at a desk. Good things come to those who wait: we\u2019ll take care of the admin and make sure your precious time isn\u2019t wasted.<\/p>\n

Why don\u2019t you use booking calendars?
\n<\/strong>Just like you, our property owners love life off grid \u2013\u00a0and without live connectivity, an online booking calendar just isn\u2019t practical. To avoid accidentally double-booking our wonderful hideaways, we make direct contact with our network of owners to arrange your stay personally.<\/p>\n

Why do you need a deposit?
\n<\/strong>Many of our properties are exclusive to Off Grid Hideaways and, naturally, they can be booked up well in advance. To secure your booking, the properties we work with require a deposit.<\/p>\n

What if I need to cancel?
\n<\/strong>We are bound by the cancellation policies set by each individual property, which can vary depending on how much notice you are able to give. We are happy to communicate these on request before your final booking. Deposits are unfortunately non-refundable.<\/p>\n

Is the grass greener on the other side?
\n<\/strong>Yes. Most definitely!<\/p>\n

How can I give you feedback?
\n<\/strong>We love feedback! Drop us a line
here<\/a> or email info@offgridhideaways.com<\/a>\n

Is my trip insured?
\n<\/strong>No, you should take out your own insurance policy \u2013 and if you\u2019re planning adventures involving horses, bikes, skis or boats, it\u2019s worth checking which activities are covered by your policy.<\/p>\n

Are transfers included?
\n<\/strong>No: our properties are for independent travellers for whom the journey is part of the experience \u2013 but we\u2019ll give you good directions, tips and help with planning your trip.<\/p>\n

Which is your favourite property?
\n<\/strong>We couldn\u2019t possibly decide. That\u2019s why they\u2019re all on Off Grid Hideaways!<\/p>\n

How can I find out about your latest discoveries? <\/strong>Follow our adventures on Instagram<\/a>, Twitter<\/a> and Facebook<\/a>, browse our Journal<\/a>, and sign up for inspiration\u00a0sent to your inbox<\/a>. Happy travels!<\/p>\n

I have another question\u2026
\n<\/strong>Travelling with children or unsure of the best options for you? We\u2019ve loved experiencing each and every property in our portfolio, and we hope you will, too. We\u2019re happy to help \u2013\u00a0
