About Us
Human Rewilding: Forging a deep nature connection and living a simpler, more meaningful, and ultimately more sustainable life.
Koppany Pines Guesthouse & Campsite was purchased in 2020, we saw it as way to live a more natural life in the countryside. We’ve been described as quirky, rustic, bohemian but always friendly! We grasped at this lifestyle, fallen in love with old skills and found well-being in nature through pursuing a simpler life.
It’s been a journey of continual self-assessment, a continual ebb and flow of happiness, but always accompanied by a sense of pride and gratitude as we embrace our journey. With subtle changes in mindset and behaviour learnt from making mistakes and training, we now are reaping the benefits of the calm and clarity we sought. Living and being in nature develops resilience and provides a sense of purpose and we feel a longer lasting contentment. This year we launch our GO WILD!! ESCAPES, a guided experience to help you REWILD YOUR LIFE.

Live Wild
Be Wild
Eat Wild
Through our GO WILD! ESCAPES our aim is to inspire visitors to be open to a simpler and natural way by rewilding your life. No matter if it’s a toe in the water or a full immersion, we know you will feel the benefit and hopefully we’ll plant the seed on how many ways there are to connect with nature. We achieve this by guiding you through activities that engage you deeply with the natural world to reawaken your senses. We work on two levels, activities in nature for a deeper connection and also activities to inspire interest in more practical ways. It’s not enough to walk through nature you need to feel, see, hear, touch and smell to truly rewild you life. We have extended our escapes to include family wilding as we’ve seen the benefits first-hand on parent and child connections by spending time in nature together.
Experience connection
Wild Wellness & Wild Kitchen The benefits of time in nature are extensive and well documented and wild wellness is about rehabilitating our hearts, human spirit and soul by re-defining how we view the world and ourselves through acts, techniques and rituals. Questioning and reconsidering all aspects of your life is fundamental to rewilding your life.
Inspire interest
Bushcraft & Wildcraft Nature is our playground. Our escape programs are designed to rekindle the interest for nature we had as children. We aim to inspire a reconnection with our natural world through personal experiences – listening, learning, creating and interacting with nature.
Our WILD KITCHEN is the hub of eat wild and learning about nature’s larder. It’s also the location of our self serve Cafe Bar and Micro Farmers Market and bookable Go Wild!! dining programs Friday to Monday.
