Karijini Eco Retreat

The National Park itself is peaceful and beautiful being one with nature. You can do 3 gorges in one day and Mt Bruce. We tried to access one of the gorges via the camp grounds but because of road works it was closed so we wasted 40mins getting back out to the main road to drive another 45mins to get to Dales Gorge. I wouldn’t recommend staying in the “eco tents” what a ripoff we booked 2 nights. the restaurant is over priced $42 for a 7cm piece of Barra and they run out of desert not a lot of options. Continental breakfast was poor. The water fountain handle is broken, staff even said they reported it but nothing is done about it. No indigenous cultural presence or artefacts or history shown it is just a run down outback pub sadly with an outdoor bbq for a restaurant and glamping tents. This is not Eco. No environmental education material or anything labelled regarding their eco practices not even a recycle bin sign. We stayed in the Deluxe tent which was clean and comfy. We have an esky in our room you’ll need to have ice for that but no rubbish bin so byo your own rubbish bags because you have to take your rubbish with you. Staff are super friendly and understaffed. I did a bit of stargazing. Just do a day trip and stay a campground.

It is an amazing place which is different from the usual hotel or resort. Right in the middle of the national park, one can experience the serenity and beauty of creation. The staff members were very helpful and went out of the way to help me with another booking for a visit in July. The room was clean and comfortable. There is a gorge that is just 15 minutes walk from the place of stay. Dinner and breakfast at the restaurant was also commendable. Great place. Will certainly recommend it

It’s such a magical place that needs to be experienced to believe. Thanks to the Eco Retreat we had accommodation options for our discerning family elders so that they could experience the gorges and stay in comfort. Why not 5 stars? They stayed in the Deluxe Tents which were terrific however, they ran out of hot water (4 guests stayed) and had cold showers. The burgers are wonderful and we would return for them. They are take away only unfortunately. We stayed for 4 nights and the trash disposal issue remains the responsibility of guests which is fine but please educate your staff on where to go. Two separate staff informed us that we would have to go back to Tom Price or “go to the roadhouse on the way to Port Hedland”. For your information, there are trash skips next to the watertank at the Overflow Campgrounds near the visitors centre (East Park Entrance) on the way to Dales Gorge and a skip on the way to Hamersley Gorge. These are very convenient as most visitors would be going to see these two major attractions during their stay. We had 4 family members stay in the deluxe tent and 4 in the eco cabins. We were very far apart in the Eco Retreat grounds. We booked more than six months early and asked to stay as close together as possible but nothing could be done. Thank you for your accommodation options in this very special place.

Enjoyed my stay at Eco but having half the park closed for roadworks was disappointing, especially when this is their open season. Luckily the 3 Gorges I looked at made up for it, Breath taking scenery & swimming was very refreshing. Hopefully if I make it over this way again, I can experience all the sites.

Great location but disappointed of the road closures! bathroom facilities very substandard with only two shows for the whole site!!! Restaurant very over priced with poor service and average food! Took us an hour to drive to Dales Gorge due to the road closure. Worst of all not have any rubbish disposal was an issue with food scrapes and dingos close by!!

Beautiful setting, appropriate level of "glamp" for the location and being an eco retreat. Staff was friendly and quite helpful, all facilities were clean. Super relaxed & chill atmosphere, yet still felt a little pampered by having access to a restaurant, bar, and a bed to sleep in. Perfect home base spot for exploring Karijini National Park.

We recently spent 4 nights at Karijini Eco Retreat and thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. We were aware that new management had taken over and we feel they are doing a great job in what could be a very difficult environment. The deluxe tents were very comfortable and the showers were hot. The restaurant was very nice and food and service was excellent. The staff were all upbeat and friendly. All the gorges were fantastic in particular Joffre and Knox which were very close to the retreat. We think everyone did a great job and made every effort to make to welcome.

We stayed for 4 nights in an ECO tent and explored all the gorges from there. Woke up every morning to a fantastic outback sunrise and was serenaded at night by the tuneful howls of the dingoes. Breath taking walks, views and climbs. Staff at the Eco lodge were friendly, knowledgeable and considerate. Breakfast was plentiful and dinner at the restaurant was a great experience under the lights of the Pilbara sky. We had the privilege to go on a sunset tour with Bee whose knowledge of the flora and fauna was amazing.

A great place to glamp. Staff are friendly. The king bed in the tent is comfortable. The bathroom is tired and water spreads across the floor in front of the toilet. No bathmat provided. No tea and coffee in room but a thermos is provided. Take a torch for the walk to and from the restaurant at night.
