Responsible tour operator Intrepid Travel is entering the accommodation rental space with Stay Intrepid, offering guests access to six properties for experience-led, community-centric stays that go beyond tours.
Stay Intrepid currently offers six accommodations across the world to rent: Daintree Ecolodge in Queensland’s Daintree Rainforest, Australia; Edge of the Bay in Tasmania; Arkaba Homestead in South Australia’s Flinders Ranges; Bamarru Plains in Australia’s Northern Territory; Ooraminna Homestead near Alice Springs, Australia; and Riad Joudour in Marrakech, Morocco.
Each property offers curated experiences, from First Nations-guided cultural walks to safari drives, cooking classes and more.
