Eco Retreat Near the Whitsundays
Before or After the Whitsundays
Mt Jukes is an off-grid eco retreat near the Whitsundays — 60 minutes from Whitsunday Coast Airport, 30 minutes from Mackay in North Queensland.
Come for a night on the way in. Stay for two on the way out. Or add a Day Retreat to your trip — no overnight stay needed.
Fully off-grid. Real food. Natural cold spring. A world away from the resort strip.
Off-grid. A world away.
Mt Jukes is not a resort. It is not a day spa. It is not a hotel with a yoga mat in the corner.
It is a working eco property — 750 trees, organic gardens, a natural cold spring running through 32 million year old volcanic rocks, and a timber yoga studio in the bush.
100% solar. No grid connection. 400,000 litres of stored rainwater.
The kind of place that is genuinely hard to find — and worth finding.
Three ways to add mt Jukes to Your Trip
Stay a Night or Two
Arrive when you want. Eco glamping tent or the Supreme Lodge — all with private ensuite and outdoor bath. Swim in the spring. Sit by the fire. Do nothing in particular.
Add a Weekend Escape
Friday to Sunday. Arrive Friday evening. Saturday is a full day retreat — yoga, breathwork, sauna, sound healing, meals, time on the land. Sunday is slow. One of the best weekends you will have in Queensland.
One Day Retreat
No overnight stay needed. A full day at Mt Jukes — yoga, breathwork, infrared sauna, sound healing, a vegetarian smorgasbord lunch, time in the spring. $159.95 per person. Done by 3pm. Back in Airlie Beach or Proserpine by evening.
The Natural Spring
Swim in cold water running through 32 million year old volcanic rocks.
This is not a pool. Not a waterhole built for tourism. It is a natural cold spring on the property — available to all retreat and stay guests.
Walk the volcanic rock path. Wander through 350 fruit trees across 50 varieties. Sit in the bamboo grove.
It takes about half a day to actually feel it.
Cape Hillsborough - 30 Minutes Away
Wake early. Drive 30 minutes. Watch kangaroos come down to the beach at sunrise.
Cape Hillsborough National Park has been ranked one of the top three beaches in Australia. Most Whitsunday visitors never know it exists.
Mt Jukes guests do.
