Upmarket ‘pod’ hotel startup Wander has secured investment from former Airbnb country manager Sam McDonagh, as the accommodation innovator eyes expansion across regional and rural Australia.
Wander designs, installs, and manages WanderPods — miniature, boutique hotel suites built to bring the luxury hotel experience to some of Australia’s most scenic locales.
Far beyond simple camping cabins, the pods’ amenities include king-sized beds, full kitchens and exterior bath tubs, offering visitors the chance to take a dip while enjoying the outback air.
Since its foundation by Sydney hospitality designer Cassandra Sasso in 2019, Wander has established multiple WanderPods on Kangaroo Island, South Australia, and in Queensland’s Scenic Rim.
