      Verified Best birthday getaway! My partner and I booked a last-minute three-night stay in a Deluxe Eco Tent at Karijini Eco Retreat, and it turned out to be an unforgettable experience. Before we arrived, the staff kindly called to offer us an upgrade to a Luxury Eco Tent—and we absolutely loved it. The tent was air-conditioned with stunning views, and the thoughtful extras like a complimentary minibar, daily picnic hampers, and included breakfast made our stay even more comfortable and enjoyable. The retreat’s location was perfect—just a short distance from the gorges and swimming spots we spent our days exploring. Each evening, we dined at the outback restaurant, and the meals were consistently delicious. We enjoyed our stay so much that we decided to extend for an extra night at a great rate. The staff were incredible—friendly, knowledgeable, and always happy to help whenever we stopped by reception before heading out for the day. It truly was an amazing getaway, and I can’t wait to return!

     Verified Magical Holiday Would highly recommend the Eco Resort. We received the low season information prior to our arrival, but were blown away by the service we received. The staff went above and beyond our expectations, they could not have been more helpful. Our tent was so luxurious, clean and the view was out of this world. We were provided with a fantastic breakfast and packed lunch which set us up for our days of exploring. We really had the most magical holiday.

     Verified Fantastic The staff were amazing, one in particular was miles above the rest (Simone). She was very friendly, accommodating and gave advice on where to go exploring. Meal services were good as well, the dinner was a bit on the expensive side but all to be expected for where we were so my husband and I were happy with it. Our tent was fantastic, with our own bathroom and a lovely sunrise view. My husband and I will definitely be going back.

     Verified Awesome Stay and great service The location of the retreat is great. It is close to many water holes. The tents are neat and clean and are sustainably maintained. There is no noise except for the chirping of birds. The staff members are helpful and friendly. There is no food available, but you can make your meals, just bring your ingredients. I would also like to tell visitors that there is a window of 2am-3am where you could star gaze. It will be a memory of a lifetime.

     Verified A fantastic stay and experience! We had a loved our experience staying at Karijini Eco Resort, in a luxury tent. Spacious, comfortable with every amenity we could think of. Wonderful day views from patio and night sky viewing after dark. Staff were all amazing. Ange, went out of her way to ensure we had a fabulous time both at the resort and in Karijini NP. Food was very good. Resort is situated close to many gorges and made it easy for us to hike early in the morning, to avoid the heat. Staff were wonderful in accommodating us for a breakfast and lunch we could take with us. Our stay here far exceeded our expectations!
