Questions.

WanderPod stays vary by location, pod size and season.
You'll see the exact price for your dates in the booking calendar before you commit to anything. Generally there is a 2 night minimum, but this may be longer in peak periods.

Every stay includes your WanderPod, all bedding and towels, firewood, basic kitchen supplies (olive oil, salt, pepper), and $10 donated to Bush Heritage Australia on your behalf.

There are no resort fees or hidden charges. Optional extras such as pantry boxes, wine selections, and experiences are yours to choose and add on if you wish.

The price you see in the booking calendar is the price you pay, plus any optional extras you choose to add. A pet cleaning fee applies if you bring your dog. We don't add resort fees, credit card fees or booking surcharges.

Cancel more than 30 days before arrival for a full refund. Bookings made on promotional rates are non-changeable and non-refundable. The full detail is in our Booking Terms and Conditions.

Booking directly gives you the best-rate guarantee, and Wander will donate $10 to Bush Hertiage Australia on your behalf so we can continue to protect the land we stand on. 

Absolutely.  Wander Gift Certificates are available for purchase here for a minimum of $50.  Gift Certificates can be used at any of our locations and are subject to availability.  Your recipient can redeem their voucher using their unique Gift Certificate code at checkout.

Yes, at a selection of our WanderPods — check the booking conditions to confirm the pod you're booking is dog-friendly. We can accept dogs only, and a pet cleaning fee applies so the next guest enjoys their stay as much as you did. Dogs aren't permitted in National Parks. Please remember your dog will be sharing the same space as natural wildlife and the area around the pods is unfenced. Please remember to clean up after them, and you will be charged for any damage to furniture.

One-bedroom WanderPods sleep two adults. Two-bedroom WanderPods sleep four adults. All bedrooms have king beds — no twin beds or sofa beds. You are welcome to bring your own cot for infants or check directly with our team if we have one available at the location you choose.

Children of all ages are welcome at all locations, and the two bedroom WanderPods are usually the best option. A stay with Wander is a good opportunity for quality family time.

Children thrive in nature, and they have a way of drawing the rest of us out to explore and play. 

Yes. The WanderPods have outdoor gas BBQs and kitchens with gas cooktops, and a fridge to keep your local produce fresh. Each WanderPod is stocked with basic supplies such as olive oil, salt and pepper. Because the pods are powered by the sun, only some include ovens and dishwashers, so please check before you book. The pods don't include microwaves or toasters.

It means the electricity, and most of the water you use during your stay, is captured and stored by the WanderPod. We ask that you use these resources modestly and help us approach zero-waste operations where possible. The pods have an advanced wastewater management system and a normal flushing toilet. Some pods have battery storage and all pods have generator back up.  In times of extended overcast weather, you may have to operate the generator and Wander will provide clear and simple instructions on how to do so. 

No. Off-grid means self-sufficient, not basic. You'll have hot water, a proper flushing toilet, a comfortable king bed, lighting, refrigeration, fans and air conditioning. The systems are designed to be invisible — you simply use the pod modestly and it looks after the rest.

We kindly ask that you do not bring high power electrical equipment such as hairdryers, portable refridgeration, or plug in your electric vehicle as this will effect the power storage to your pod. 

WanderPods include solar air conditioning. The pods are designed with strong thermal properties — double glazing and a UV-rated blind system. You're welcome to open the sliding doors and windows for the natural breeze, and ceiling fans keep the air moving when it's still. In the colder months, every WanderPod has a slow-combustion indoor fireplace, and firewood is provided.

WanderPods are designed to create a connection to the local environment, and TVs rarely help with that, so we left them out. Each WanderPod has a Bluetooth speaker for your own music, and WiFi connectivity.

We are currently working on new locations with better wheelchair accessibility. 

Each location is different. Please check the location you'd like to visit to see whether wheelchair-accessible WanderPods are available.

Yes. Arriving to a stocked kitchen is one of the simplest ways to settle in. Add local, seasonal provisions when you book so they're waiting for you.

Yes. Each location has a handpicked set of local experiences you can add to your booking.  Local suppliers need advance notice, so add these when you book rather than on arrival. 

 If you let us know the occasion when you book, we'll do what we can to mark it.

Once you have booked, there a digital regional insider guide with recommendations sent via email and phone prior to your arrival.  You can also check out the Destination Guides if you want to see what it's all about before you book. 

If you book a dog-friendly pod and add your dog to the booking, your stay already comes with the essentials — poop bags, dog bowls, wipes.  

Yes — all bedding and towels are provided for each guest. Additional housekeeping is available for bookings over five nights.

Check-in is from 3pm; check-out is at 11am. Late check-out may be available: the day before departure we'll send an offer to extend if the WanderPod is free. It can't be pre-booked earlier without adding a night's charge.

We'll send an SMS and email with your digital access code. Enter it into the pod lock on arrival, and the place is yours. To check out, please leave the place tidy.

Once you've booked, you'll receive a map and entry instructions. The route may include farm gates — please leave these as you find them. All WanderPods have all-weather 2WD access.

For Kangaroo Island, we suggest hiring something more substantial than the entry level vehicles as there are a lot of dirt roads on the island which can be in varying condition. 

Pack as you would for any short stay, plus anything location-specific we send in your pre-arrival note. The thing guests most often forget: that high-energy appliances like hair dryers and straighteners can't be used off-grid.

Unfortunately not. The WanderPods can't support high-energy appliances such as hair
dryers. You look great as you are.

Smoking is not allowed inside the pods.  If you would like to smoke, please be mindful of the bushland around you and dispose of ash and butts responsibly. 

Yes. The pods have secure digital locks, a basic first-aid kit, and clear instructions for the rare event a system needs attention. Our team is reachable by phone throughout your stay, and most of the property has mobile coverage. Many guests come to Wander precisely for solo time.

The WanderPods are spaced for visual and acoustic privacy. At some locations that means a short walk or drive between pods. Each location page has a site map.

Yes. Most of the property has 5G coverage with Telstra and Optus, and there is free WiFi.

Be mindful that there may be dead zones in other areas of the region and you should download maps or information you need before you hit the road. 

Yes, the wifi is suitable for video calls. That said, the pods are designed to help you switch off rather than stay plugged in.

We always recommend travel insurance, and we'll be in contact if conditions affect your arrival.  

Please call 000 in an emergency. When travelling to regional areas, we recommend installing the relevant State Emergency app for where you're travelling.

For any systems issue in the pod (power, gas, water, toilet or WiFi), contact us directly and we can help you through it, or organise someone from our team to assist on site. 

WanderPods have large rainwater tanks for all your drinking, cooking and cleaning needs. The water is filtered, and topped up during long dry spells.

In an emergency, call 000. Each pod has a basic first-aid kit for minor injuries.
