Looking for luxury AND an authentic outback experience? Hidden in the depths of the Karijini National Park, close to Joffre gorge, the new Karijini Eco Retreat is a unique and ecologically sound development offering quality up market tented accommodation, on-site facilities and tour options. This property is the first of its kind in this iconic national park in the Pilbara region of WA.
Offering comfortable, furnished eco tents in a rugged outback setting, the accommodation options include Deluxe Eco Tents with en-suites and Standard Eco Tents with shared facilities. Traditional campsites are also available for pitching the tent, parking the camper or caravan and include full use of share ablutions with hot showers and self catering BBQ bush kitchens.
Location
Karijini National Park is the second largest national park in Western Australia. A party led by explorer F.T. Gregory explored the area in 1861. He named the Hamersley Range, on which the park is centred, after his friend Edward Hamersley. Situated just north of the Tropic of Capricorn, the park's climate can best be described as tropical semi-desert. A highly variable, mainly summer rainfall of 250–350 mm, often associated with thunderstorms and cyclones, is accompanied by temperatures frequently topping 40 degrees Celsius. The ideal times to visit the park are late autumn, the winter months and early spring. Winter days are warm and clear, but nights are cold and sometimes frosty.
