Karijini Eco Retreat

Unique out­back glamp­ing in the heart of the spec­tac­u­lar Kar­i­ji­ni Nation­al Park.

Kar­i­ji­ni Eco Retreat is one of Australia’s lead­ing eco-tourism attrac­tions. Sit­u­at­ed 1,500km north of Perth in WA’s sec­ond largest nation­al park, the retreat offers ​“glamp­ing” eco tents, cab­ins and camp­sites nes­tled at the edge of Jof­fre Gorge, along with an out­back style restau­rant and access to the park’s walks and guid­ed adven­ture tours. Explore a won­der­land of ancient nat­ur­al land­scapes formed more than two bil­lion years ago – deep gorges, red cliffs, tow­er­ing water­falls and emer­ald green water­holes – among a wide vari­ety of wild­flow­ers and native wildlife. Kar­i­ji­ni Eco Retreat is 100% Abo­rig­i­nal-owned by Gumala Enter­pris­es, proud­ly rep­re­sent­ing the Ban­ji­ma, Yin­hawang­ka and Nyiya­parli peo­ple of the Pil­bara region.

Kar­i­ji­ni Nation­al Park is very much a self-dri­ve des­ti­na­tion and due to its remote loca­tion, guests most­ly pre­fer to dri­ve their own vehi­cle or a rental vehi­cle. When trav­el­ling through the park to get to the gorges, water­falls and attrac­tions, you will be dri­ving on a mix of sealed and unsealed roads. We rec­om­mend 4WD/AWD vehicles.

All of our accom­mo­da­tion incor­po­rates eco-friend­ly designs and prac­tices to ensure sus­tain­able man­age­ment of the nat­ur­al and cul­tur­al val­ues of one of the most ancient land­scapes on earth.

The new Lux­u­ry Eco Tents offer you bespoke design, local Abo­rig­i­nal art­work, air-con­di­tion­ing/heat­ing, king size bed, lounge area, pri­vate ensuite bath­room with stone bench tops, an indul­gence of space, and pris­tine bush­land views. Includes a‑la-carte break­fast, pic­nic lunch, com­pli­men­ta­ry mini-bar, ​“bush but­ler” ser­vice, dai­ly house­keep­ing and pri­or­i­ty restau­rant booking.

The Deluxe Eco Tents fea­ture styl­ish inte­ri­ors with qual­i­ty bed­ding and linen, bath tow­els, own pri­vate ensuite bath­room, solar pow­ered lights, min­i­mal pow­er for low wattage appli­ances, in-room safe and a front deck with table and chairs. Con­ti­nen­tal break­fast is included.

Stay in one of the Stan­dard Eco Tents for a com­fort­able and nat­ur­al camp­ing expe­ri­ence in the Kar­i­ji­ni Nation­al Park. These tents come with qual­i­ty bed­ding and linen, bath tow­els and a front deck with table and chairs. They do not have lights or pow­er points. Shared bath­room facil­i­ties are locat­ed nearby.
