karijini eCo retreat outbaCk Western australia
Nested amongst a pristine, natural bush setting, at Joffre Gorge in the heart of the Karijini National Park, the multi award winning Karijini Eco Retreat offers a choice of affordable camping and‘ glamping’ – a glorious fusion of camping and comfort.
The Savannah Campground features 82 sites for tents, campervans and caravans, shared bathroom amenities( flushing toilets and solar hot water showers) and four undercover bush kitchens equipped with gas BBQs, sinks, preparation areas and seating.
Or‘ glamp it up’ in the deluxe eco tents with hotel quality bedding and a private en-suite – here, tucked up in your kingsized bed, you’ ll be lulled by the chirping of frogs, crickets and‘ sounds of the outback’ through the canvas walls. Each tent features a wooden decking patio where you can sit and absorb the sunset glow, or drift away on the endless blanket of stars that reflect the timelessness of this ancient country. For those seeking more rustic accommodation, there are dorm style eco tents and cabins.
Dining under the stars All guests are welcome to savour the starlight hours at the fully licensed bar and outback style restaurant – with al fresco dining and a uniquely Australian dinner menu, infused with local ingredients and served with a taste of genuine outback Western Australia‘ mateship’ hospitality.
Joffre Gorge The walk trail into the gorge( 10 mins) starts directly at the Retreat. The brilliant red cliff faces of Joffre Gorge are home to the grand Joffre Falls- where rushing white waters cascade over a steep stairway of ledges, softening the rugged landscape with their silken flow. The neighbouring gorges: Dales, Hancock, Kalamina, Red and Weano and the‘ gorgeous’ bathing spots at Fortesque Falls, Fern Pool and Circular Pool are all within easy driving distance. Guided tours can be booked at the Retreat.
Karijini Eco Retreat is 100 % owned by the Gumala Aboriginal Corporation( GAC) representing the collective interests of the Nyiyaparli, Banyjima and Innawonga peoples of the Pilbara Region of Western Australia.
