Their off-grid set-up is powered by solar and battery, they collect and store rainwater and they even have a composting toilet. 

And just because they’ve established a switch-off sort of zone, that doesn’t mean they’ve left you totally hanging. At the home you can expect to find a cosy fire-pit, books, boardgames and a bluetooth speaker. But if you do happen to fall short of supplies or entertainment, Bindoon village is just a short four kilometers away. And a quick insider tip, the Bindoon Bakery is notorious for its vanilla slice.
