KARIJINI ECO
RETREAT,
WESTERN
AUSTRALIA
With its hulking gorges,
thundering waterfalls and rolling hills strewn
with wildlowers and wallabies, Karijini
National Park is one epic spot for hiking,
climbing and canyoning. What’s more, this
eco retreat (based in the park) treads lightly
on the landscape, thanks to its solar power,
lack of air conditioning and non-permanent
(yet beautifully furnished) tented suites.
SECRET TIP: The retreat’s takeaway service
means you can enjoy dinner on your deck.
Deluxe eco tents from AU$339 (£189)
per night, including breakfast;
