☀️ The Off-Grid Experience
Hunchy Heights is proudly 100% off-grid, powered entirely by solar energy and battery storage, with water supplied from our 20,000-litre rainwater tank.
Our solar system comfortably supports everyday living, including air conditioning when sufficient solar power is available.
As with any off-grid home, electricity is a finite resource, and we simply ask guests to be mindful of their consumption, particularly during extended periods of cloudy or rainy weather.
During prolonged wet weather, air-conditioning use may need to be limited or avoided to conserve battery power. If the batteries become depleted, electricity will be unavailable until sufficient sunshine allows them to recharge.
Switching off unnecessary lights and appliances and using electricity thoughtfully helps ensure a comfortable and uninterrupted stay.
There is no Wi-Fi at the property, although mobile reception is generally good. Guests wishing to stream television or access the internet can use their own mobile hotspot, subject to reception and data availability.
Hunchy Heights is designed for guests who appreciate the charm of country living, the beauty of nature and the opportunity to slow down and unwind.
