Property Background
Karijini Eco Retreat is a new and unique, environmentally friendly and ecologically sound
accommodation development located in the depths of the breathtaking Karijini National Park just 35km
from the Karijini Visitors Centre in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. Guests are treated to a range
of accommodation options from traditional campsites with quality share facilities including flushing
toilets, hot showers and BBQ Bush Kitchen facilities, to the option of luxury furnished and spacious Eco
Tents boasting top of the range king or twin beds with en-suite. On-site facilities include an
impressive outback style alfresco licensed restaurant with a tempting menu that is distinctly Australian,
bar, kiosk and souvenir shop, tour and information desk. Karijini Eco Retreat offers luxury accommodation and an authentic outback experience at an affordable price whilst operating in perfect harmony with the environment. The goal is to act as a leader in sustainable tourism principles by meeting the highest possible standards of environmental responsibility.
The grand opening of the much anticipated Karijini Eco Retreat in April 2007 heralded a new era for the
iconic Karijini National Park and is expected to help shape and enhance the future of tourism in the
Pilbara region. This benchmark development is the first of its kind in the Park and is the successful end
result of an exhaustive series of strategic planning, thorough background research and co-operation with
the Department of Environment and Conservation (DEC) and other public agencies.
Owned by the Gumala Aboriginal Corporation (GAC), developed by Eco Constructions and managed by
The Eco Company (Ecomodation), the Karijini Eco Retreat was borne out of the strategic vision of GAC
to develop a portfolio of substantial and diversified commercial assets. The development was an essential
part of the long term commitment of Gumala to bring socio-economic benefits to the region whilst
acknowledging the wider tourism industry benefits.
