The Banksia 3 bedroom Lodge is a passion project inspired by the native Australian landscape. Brimming with luxe modern amenities enclosed in a rustic, natural and completely private setting, this premium lodge is perfect for those looking for a quiet family weekend away, a secluded romantic hideaway or an adventurous weekend full of unique and local experiences.

Located near the Warrumbungle Mountains in Coonabarabran, New South Wales just 6 hours from Sydney, this retreat offers you the chance to escape the hustle and bustle of daily life whilst indulging in an off-grid living experience.

Your accommodation is a luxurious yurt-style lodge nestled in the woodlands of our 80 acre property. The private lodge boasts all the creature comforts you need including three comfortable bedrooms, a spacious living area, a well-appointed kitchen and a separate dining area.

Your Riparide stay is a self catered experience.

As part of your stay you can separately book a private emu safari, a skywatching experience from our onsite observatory (at additional cost) or enjoy the outdoor spa on the expansive deck overlooking the park and the Emus!

During your stay you can book an optional private skywatching experience with our 11-inch telescope and / or an Emu Safari which is a real Jurassic park-like experience.

This is as much a luxury stay as an incredible experience. You can learn more at our website and YouTube channel by searching Dark Sky Eco Retreat.

If you are travelling with a caravan or camper, take a couple of days or more and spoil yourself. We have plenty of room on the property to park your camper or van with access to power and water if needed.

Our property is an 80-acre farm with our hand raised Emus roaming up to the deck at the lodge. We have privacy and peace and quiet amongst the setting of a woodland forest and a meandering creek.

Our property is fully off-grid with beautiful spring water.

We have Starlink internet connectivity, Telstra phone coverage at the lodge and Foxtel.

We will send guests a detailed map of how to find us as well as a welcome pack of what to expect, what to pack and the best place to stop and get your provisions in town.

We are living our Aussie dream of escaping the city and building an off-grid oasis, we have made Coonabarabran and the Warrumbungle region our home since 2017. Inspired by the magnificent region we have put careful thought into every detail, to create a truly unique experience that complements the native landscape.
