Unyoked - A New Off Grid Experience.
by Murray Crane
Unyoked’s expansion into New Zealand offers a refreshing retreat for anyone looking to disconnect from the digital world and reconnect with nature. Their minimalist, eco-friendly cabins near Auckland and other regions provide a haven for those of us seeking a quick escape into New Zealand’s serene landscapes.
These off-the-grid cabins embody simplicity and sustainability, removing the distractions of modern technology to emphasise mindful presence. With no Wifi or television, Unyoked’s accommodations allow guests to immerse themselves in natural rhythms—whether it's cooking over an open fire, hiking scenic trails, or listening to birdsong. The “wild luxury” concept encourages guests to embrace a slower pace and fully experience their surroundings.
Booking is easy through the Unyoked website, where guests can browse cabin options and prepare for their adventure. Equipped with essentials like bedding, a small fridge, and a stove, these cabins require only a sense of adventure from their guests. It’s an ideal setup for solo travellers, couples, or friends eager to recharge and experience New Zealand’s unspoiled landscapes in a sustainable, mindful way.
Unyoked isn’t just offering a getaway; they’re creating a journey back to simplicity and inspiration amid New Zealand’s natural beauty.
