Skip the Campsite Lottery
If you’ve ever tried booking a campsite around Exmouth, especially at Cape Range national park in peak season, you already know the drill — sold out months ahead, refreshing the page at midnight, settling for a site that’s doesn’t match your preference.
The Ningaloo Hideaway is a different kind of stay. A fully equipped Avan Aspire 555 caravan, set up on a private 2.5-acre bush property just south of town. No campsite to hunt for. No one pitched up next to you. No generator noise from the next bay.
You book one thing, and everything’s taken care of. We set it up, we service it between guests, and when you arrive, it’s ready. Walk in, unpack, and start your holiday.
Your little slice of private acreage
2.5 acres of native bush and mango trees. No shared amenities, no neighbours in the next bay. Just space and quiet.
Premium caravan, fully equipped
The Avan Aspire 555 — a 2-berth pop-top with full ensuite (shower and cassette toilet), comfy double bed, kitchen with gas cooktop, 174L fridge/freezer, and everything you need to cook and eat.
Solar powered, fully off-grid
240Ah lithium battery bank and solar keep the lights on, the fridge cold, and your devices charged. No generators, no cords — just clean, silent power.
Fresh water on board
285L tank filled before every stay. Enough for sensible showers, cooking, and drinking across your visit.
Outdoor living
Quality camping table and chairs, plus shade from the van’s awning. Evenings under an enormous sky with zero light pollution.
Linen, towels, and kitchen essentials
Sheets, pillows, towels, cookware, crockery, cutlery, chopping boards, coffee plunger, cleaning supplies — all provided. Travel light.
In-person check-in and walkthrough
We meet you at the property, show you around the van and the site, run through the off-grid systems, and make sure you’re comfortable before we leave.
Self check-in available on request
Experienced with off-grid setups? We can arrange self check-in with a detailed guide sent before your arrival, plus a hard copy in the caravan. Just let us know when you book.
Just South of Town, Close to Everything
The Ningaloo Hideaway [H] sits on a quiet bush property just south of the Exmouth town centre — close enough to grab groceries, fuel up, or head out for a meal, but far enough away that the only sounds at night are the bush and the stars.
McLeods Beach is barely a minute down the road, and the western side of the cape — where the reef, the snorkelling, and the whale shark tours happen — is an easy drive from your door.

Good to Know — What Off-Grid Actually Means
The Ningaloo Hideaway is a genuine off-grid experience. That’s part of the appeal — but it’s worth knowing what to expect before you book.
No mains power — solar and battery only
The caravan runs on a 240Ah lithium battery bank charged by solar. It powers the lights, fridge/freezer, fans, water pump, USB charging, and 12V outlets — but it won’t run high-draw appliances. That means no air conditioning, no microwave, no hairdryer and no toaster. If you need aircon to sleep, this isn’t the right stay for you — and that’s okay.
