Nestled within the Blue Derby Mountain Bike trails network, the pods appear to float in the forest as the curved walls swoop in and embrace guests. The tiny buildings are entirely off-grid, powered by solar and local rain-water. Who knew bike riding could be SO lux!

UnYokedChris from Unyoked describes their approach as providing ‘a bit of a gateway drug to living more mindfully.’ And we have to agree that if any accommodation is going to make you reconsider the way you live, Unyoked might just be it!
These cabins are located within reach of Melbourne and Sydney and offer an escape from urban life. Inspired by Japanese and Scandi design, these self-contained contemporary cabins are designed as a ‘vessel to explore and appreciate the outdoors, and try to oppose the excess of luxury hotels.’ But fear not, all the essential creature comforts including a plush queen sized bed, composting toilet, hot shower and fridge are covered!
