Karijini Eco Retreat

beautiful location amongst the spinifex within the national park. Very quiet at night in the camping area. Very peaceful base to explore all the magnificent gorges.|We loved hearing the dingoes howl at night. Unfortunately there was one idiot trying to shine a torch on them and chase them off. |Liked the layout of the campground as there was a space allocated for each booking and it was marked out distinctly with grass borders so no one could be too close to another. Right in amongst the spinifex with a few shady trees if you were lucky to get one on your site.|The restaurant had delicious food but was very pricey for the average wallet. Not many souveniers at shop but the main tourist info centre had a great array of things to go shopping (near Dales gorge)|We had 2 issues- one was that the ground was too hard too drive tent pegs into. We hit rocks quite a few times and bent a number of pegs. Not fun! It was also vey stony on floor of tent and we had to be careful we did not puncture the floor of the tent.|Red pilbara dust in everything, but that is the experience of the outback anyway.|Our second issue was that the amenities were very inadequate for the number of guests and every morning there was a queue for the toilet. Only 2 toilets and 2 showers for the whole campsite so it was rather difficult. They were also unisex. Would suggest a couple more toilets and showers for each site, otherwise the amenities were very clean and pleasant to use once you got in there!

We loved this place... it was so beautiful. We stayed 5 nights and managed to complete the hikes of all of the gorges. The eco stay was great; nice roomy sites, space between sites, other families with kids who played with our boys, it was tranquil at night, and there was lots of nature around. There were 2 showers for each section of the camping, but everyone was patient and kind when wanting to use them. The shop is a little expensive to buy an ice cream for each member of the family, but we understood that it is very remote. Would definitely recommend to everyone!

Too hot to trot in a tent… We should have known and therefore we cannot blame Karijini Eco Retreat. At the time we were there, temperatures were rising up to 41 degrees. As a result, it was extremely hot in our tent. The tent as such was beautiful and well equipped. Only aircon was lacking… I know we could and should have booked a tent with aircon. But, alas, we didn’t. The location is stunning and the staff is always ready to help. We had an excellent dinner, one of the best so far during our 3 weeks in Australia. Having said this, all elements were there to have an unforgettable time but the heat took it over from us… Nothing Karijini Eco Retreat can do about it. Thanks for the short time we spent at the retreat.

We booked for dinner for 4 people about 6 weeks before we checked into the safari tents for the night.||We were told that the Resturant served god meals and was worth having a meal there. However this is what we experienced:||1) Safe were friendly and provided good service|2) Food was Excessively expensive |3) Portion size was tiny (we were forced to buy more just to fill out tummies!!!)|4) Food quality was not great! Eg All meals we ordered did not taste great! For what it cost us we were very disappointed!!||We recommend that if you want value for money even if you are willing to pay for it, DO NOT EAT at this place. Bring your own meals and cook somewhere else!!

We spent two nights here on our road tripping from Broome to Perth, and loved everything about it! We had an unpowered site for our RV that was closely located to the restaurant and amenity block. The sites were so spread out which gave everyone a sense of privacy. The restaurant serves great food and decent coffee, and the central location with the national park meant exploring was easy. Wish we stayed longer!

We stayed in a standard eco tent this October. |Absolutely loved it. Great location for checking out the Karijini National Park. Amenities are basic which you would expect for a place as remote and harsh as this, but everything works well and seemed well maintained. ||Tents get warm during the day at this time of year but you will be out most of the day checking out the stunning gorges and natural pools to cool off. Night time temps dip and are comfortable for sleeping. ||Our mattress was very comfy and we loved our stay. ||We were at the bar each night and then had dinner at the restaurant at the site. The menu is a perfect example of doing a small number of dishes really, really well. Everything is cooked perfectly, even the burgers that you order at the bar were just sublime. ||Will be highly recommending it to all our friends.

A very central spot to stay while exploring the NP & all it has to offer. Roomy campsites. Lots on offer in the cafe onsite. Staff are lovely.| We booked our stay according to information we read online, 4hrs of generation available/day. On booking in we were told 2hrs daily, this was not going to suffice as we’d come from another off grid situation & needed to power up. After lengthy conversations cancellation & refund for our second night was approved. Thankyou Angie.

First-class eco resort within unique national park. Everything here is to an excellent standard and is what it is advertised as. Very professional, helpful and friendly staff. Glamping tents are newish and well maintained. They have great separation from each other and blend in to the environment - it’s hard to easily notice where the other ones are. Can be kept closed or completely opened to fly screen only. Unless you get the aircon ones - which you only would if you were using them during the day - keep them closed wherever the sun shines during the day and then open at night to allow any breeze or just the air to cool them down. The night cools quickly. Extremely comfortable at night when open. Very quiet at night (except for the odd dingo). Fine dinning restaurant with a relaxed and casual atmosphere. Very high standard meals. Well-maintained pathways around the camp. Stick to it as the spinifex is extremely sharp (will puncture care tyres) and there are snakes etc (ie. it’s the wild). Very highly recommended.
