About CABN

At CABN, we invite you to slow down, reconnect, and rediscover the profound beauty found in life's simplest details. Our thoughtfully curated luxury stays offer more than mere accommodation, they’re carefully crafted experiences designed to immerse you deeply in nature, presence, community, and meaningful connection.

Our Story

CABN was founded by Michael Lamprell, whose journey began with the desire to escape the relentless pressures of modern life. Michael recognised how disconnected our fast-paced, digitally dominated lives had become and sought to create meaningful spaces where people could pause, reflect, and reconnect with themselves, nature and each other.

 

Inspired by personal experiences and a deep respect for nature’s profound healing power, Michael carefully designed each CABN to honour its surroundings, foster mindfulness, and facilitate moments of true clarity and connection. Through CABN, Michael’s vision has grown into a movement, offering transformative escapes.

Sustainable and Regenerative Tourism

At CABN, sustainability isn’t just an aspiration, it’s fundamental to our ethos. Each CABN is designed with minimal environmental impact, integrating seamlessly into its natural surroundings. We prioritise eco-friendly materials, renewable energy, and low-impact solutions to ensure our presence enhances rather than detracts from the environment.

We actively partner with local communities, invest in regenerative practices, and consistently evolve our methods to ensure we’re not only preserving but actively improving the landscapes we cherish.

We don’t just stay on the land. We work with it.

Off-grid by design. Sustainable by nature. Every CABN is crafted to leave a lighter footprint and a lasting impact.

Today's Solar Generation

Sustainability isn’t an afterthought — it’s at the heart of everything we create. Since day one, our vision has been simple: to offer eco-friendly accommodation in South Australia that respects the environment without compromising on comfort, design or experience.

Our architecturally designed off-grid cabins are built to connect guests with nature — while minimising our footprint on it. Every detail, from construction to guest experience, is carefully considered to support a more sustainable way to travel.

How CABN Creates Sustainable Stays

Thoughtful Design & Low-Impact Builds

  • Our eco cabins are designed with energy efficiency, minimal waste and low-impact building methods at their core.
  • Prefabrication reduces the environmental impact of construction and limits the need for heavy machinery on-site.
  • All CABNs are solar-powered, using renewable energy to operate completely off-grid.

 

Water Saving & Waste Reduction

  • Rainwater harvesting, low-flow fixtures, and waste management systems reduce water usage.
  • CABNs avoid single-use plastic, guests will find refillable soaps, reusable amenities, and no plastic water bottles.

 

Partnerships with Sustainable Brands

  • We proudly partner with:
  • Zero Co for eco-friendly, grey-water safe cleaning and bathroom products.
  • Who Gives a Crap for sustainable toilet paper made from 100% recycled materials.

 

Supporting Local & Reducing Food Miles

  • Wherever possible, we source produce locally to minimise transport emissions and support South Australian growers and makers.

 

Educating Guests for Positive Impact

  • We invite all CABN guests to join us in a ‘leave no trace’ philosophy, respecting the land, recycling waste, and embracing conscious travel.
  • On Kangaroo Island’s Cape St Albans site, guests can learn about local birdlife, wildlife, stargazing and First Nations culture through self-guided experiences.

 

Why Sustainable Stays Matter at CABN

 

We believe that eco-friendly accommodation should inspire and empower, not ask you to compromise. By staying at CABN, guests experience first-hand how small changes can create a big impact, both during their stay and in their everyday lives.

 

Together, we can protect the landscapes we love, ensuring future generations can experience them too.
