What would you do if Tesla gave you a car for the weekend? Road trip, of course! Today we’re taking you on a road trip to Daylesford to experience Clifftop at Hepburn, designer accommodation in Daylesford, Victoria with a bevy of design and accommodation awards under its belt including being recognised as Australia’s No.1 Romantic Getaway! However it’s Clifftop’s latest achievement that we came to see, having newly installed Tesla Powerwall‘s, Clifftop at Hepburn have managed to turn their indulgent luxurious villa’s into fully sustainable eco homes. So to test out this Tesla Ecosystem and get a feel for the future, we jumped in our EV (that stands for electric vehicle guys, get used to hearing it) and headed North… luckily for you, we saved you a spot.

We visited the Evoke Villa at Clifftop at Hepburn recently equipped with a Tesla Powerwall, making this villa a self-powered home by combining solar energy and the Powerwall to independently power the home day and night. During the day, if the solar panels produce more energy than the home uses, the Powerwall stores that excess solar energy and makes it available on demand, even after the sun has set. This we found out is especially handy in Daylesford, as the area is prone to power outages – so now when the grid goes down, solar energy continues to power the villa. It’s also fitted with an iPad that allows you to access the Tesla app, so when staying there you have full visibility into your self-powered home – including how much power you’re using! This was really fascinating as it gives you a really great indication into how much power you consume on a daily basis. We spoke with Dave, the owner of Clifftop at Hepburn about his decision to ‘become a greenie’ and why he chose to install the Tesla Powerwall. Watch the video to hear what he had to say.
