Intrepid Travel has pledged to invest almost Aus $8 million in sustainable cabin operator CABN to create a network of more than 70 off-grid eco-friendly accommodation options across Australia.

Intrepid's investment will aim to boost CABN's network to more than 70 properties by 2023

The adventure specialist’s investment will accelerate CABN’s growth plans in the hope of scaling up the firm’s offering by 2023. The new partners’ ambitions include multi-cabin "retreat-style" projects.


CABN currently offers 11 cabin escapes in some of Australia’s most iconic locations. Its cabins are predominantly built from locally-sourced, sustainable materials and require minimal infrastructure to operate as part of a broader "leave no trace" philosophy.


CABN maintained a more than 90% occupancy rate during the pandemic while Australia’s borders were closed, something it and Intrepid expect to grow as sustainable travel becomes more mainstream.
