Logging out and recharging in nature has never looked more attractive. Whether you’d rather soak up the sun on a private island or disconnect at a winery, these nine incredible retreats around Australia ensure going off grid doesn’t mean going without.

Camp Island Lodge, Whitsundays, QLD

1/10

A tropical island all to yourself? Sign us up. You and seven friends will have exclusive use of this Whitsundays private island, which can only be reached by boat or helicopter. Part of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park, Camp Island Lodge offers powder-soft beaches and sparkling turquoise waters. Take a leaf out of Robinson Crusoe and try foraging for mud crabs, then cook up your catch at the beachside fire pit. Drift off to the sound of lapping waves in one of four pavilion-style waterfront villas.

Compass Hut, Forthside, Tasmania

2/10

Surrounded by a 34-hectare organic farm on Tasmania’s north-west coast, Compass Hut’s trio of cabins are furnished with local artworks and earthy linens. Stroll around the property, pick produce from the veggie garden to cook in the cabin kitchenette, roll out a yoga mat on the deck and, if you’ve checked into the Arc Pavilion, soak up the Forthside Valley views from the outdoor tub.

CABN, Clare Valley, SA

3/10

Ninety minutes from Adelaide, three cute boltholes – Sadie, Lily and Minnie – immerse guests in the verdant Clare Valley landscape. Spaced apart for maximum privacy, each cabin overlooks rolling hills, gnarled gum trees and neatly tended vines. Watch night descend from a seat beside the outdoor fire pit with a glass of local wine in hand – the region is known for its bright rieslings.

ARUNA Estate, Penrose, NSW

4/10

Hidden among ghostly gums festooned with fairy lights, ARUNA Estate’s two off-grid cabins are minimalist visions nestled in a Southern Highlands valley, 150 kilometres out of Sydney. The fire-heated outdoor tub is hard to resist but there’s no beating the serenity found at the end of a nature trail leading to a meditation deck overlooking Paddys River.

Mt. Mulligan Lodge, Mount Mulligan, QLD

5/10

Dwarfed by its namesake mountain, this luxury lodge embraces the rugged beauty of a working cattle station in Far North Queensland – a two and a half hour drive east of Cairns. The main stone and timber pavilion overlooks a Eucalyptus-fringed weir, while secluded safari-style tents offer air conditioning, ensuites and your own electric buggy. Guests can join a cattle muster, throw out a line for barramundi and enjoy degustation dining under the stars.

Kings Creek Station, Petermann, NT

6/10

Choose your style of tent – from the classic air-conditioned bush tent to the deluxe Dreamtime Escarpment with a private deck, barbecue and fire pit – then settle in to enjoy the spectacular scenery of the Top End’s George Gill Range.A three-hour journey west of Alice Springs by car, Kings Creek Station has plenty of amenities to keep you busy, including a swimming pool and buggy tours, but, if you’re keen to venture further into the outback, the towering red cliffs of Kings Canyon are just 25 minutes’ drive away.

Rangelands Outback Camp, Winton, QLD

7/10

Six white bell tents perched on a mesa plateau overlooking the Queensland outback ensure the all-inclusive Rangelands Outback Camp is the antithesis of roughing it. Each houses a plush king-sized bed and rain shower overlooking the natural surroundings, while the communal deck is where you’ll sip sundowners and nibble on cheese platters before indulging in a chef-prepared dinner. By day, the region’s famed dinosaur trails are a fascinating step back in time and by night, turn your gaze to the stars – Winton is one of only three Dark Sky Sanctuaries in the country.

Chalets at Blackheath, Blackheath, NSW

8/10

Perched at the highest point in the Blue Mountains, these four studios are elevated in more ways than one. Enjoy vistas of the untamed bush from your chalet’s deep soaking tub, by the cosy wood fire or while reclining on the daybed on your private sundeck. Hit the nearby hiking trails, like the Grand Canyon track, to explore the area’s natural splendour or stay in and have champagne and a charcuterie board delivered straight to your room.

Royal Mail Hotel, Dunkeld, Vic

9/10

A portal to the region’s colonial past, these 1850s bluestone shearers’ quarters at the base of Grampians National Park have been transformed into luxurious bush retreats complete with wood fires, cocktail bars and the dramatic backdrop of Mt Sturgeon. When you’re done browsing the wine cellar or touring the kitchen garden, hop aboard a transfer to acclaimed restaurant Wickens at the Royal Mail for a locavore degustation.
