🌿Embrace a Weekend of Transformation🌿

Discover the perfect balance of relaxation and renewal with our signature Weekend Escape Package. Nestled in the serene surroundings of Mt Jukes, just 30 minutes from Mackay and 60 minutes from Whitsunday Airport, this two-night journey invites you to step away from the everyday and immerse yourself in pure bliss—what the ancient yogis called "Samadhi."

In this sacred space, where ancient volcanic rocks meet modern eco-luxury, you'll find yourself surrounded by over 350 permaculture-designed fruit trees and the gentle sounds of our creek. Our fully off-grid retreat offers a rare opportunity to disconnect from the digital world and reconnect with your inner essence.

Testimonials

I recently experienced the Weekend Escape package at Mt Jukes Eco Retreat, and honestly, I did not expect it to be as impactful as it was. Even in such a short amount of time, it was deeply healing, grounding, and beautiful in every way.

The retreat space is peaceful and breathtaking, but it was Dave, Aune, and their gorgeous fur pup who truly made the experience unforgettable. Their warmth, presence, and care created such a safe and nurturing environment.

It’s clear that Dave carries so much knowledge, wisdom, and experience, and he offers a uniquely special practice as part of the retreat. His session had a deep impact on me, one that stayed with me long after I left. In the days that followed, it genuinely felt like a little bit of magic had been set in motion.

I’m so grateful for the experience and the connection I felt there. If you’re looking to reconnect with yourself, feel held, or just breathe a little deeper, this is the place. I can’t wait to return.

Wonderful, relaxing stay. Beautiful, natural setting, with well tended areas. Variety of accommodation options and all beautifully appointed, professionally finished. Food provided was excellent, with quality ingredients and delicious at every meal. Complimentary bathroom organic wash etc. Bidets installation must make a great difference to the sustainability success of the enterprise. Yoga, meditation, infra-red saunas, creek dips were all very well appreciated and educational. Thank you for the retreat and all the efforts you made the weekend 💕

From the moment we arrived I could feel my body start to relax. Hard to sum up in a few words the effect 2 days/nights has had on me. The view, the incredibly comfortable bed, the shower, the bath with the salts laying back in that on the deck with the fire going was amazing! I really want to go on and on and will be to anyone who cares to listen best place ever I feel like a new person and already planning my next stay!

I booked this stay for my partner knowing full well she’d love it, I myself wasn’t sure what I’d think of it, however by the end of our stay I can honestly say this was an amazing experience that will stick with my forever! Before arriving I wasn’t sure how I’d find the food (not being a vegetarian myself) but Aune’s cooking was amazing!! Having left feeling relaxed and refreshed, this is definitely a place I’d put on my bucket list if I was visiting the Mackay region 😊 Photos below are the view from our glamping tent

What a world class place. The glamping tents are spectacular, spacious and very comfortable. Bamboo keeps your privacy for the outdoor bath. Well worth the cost. The outdoor ensuite is well designed and thought through with views to the mountain while showering - and private. The team there are very hospitable, knowledgeable friendly and make the stay very special. We will be back to this transformative, relaxing and special place.

Oh my. This resort is amazing. You can’t look away from the mountains, it is just spectacular. 4 of us ladies went to unwind and reduce our stress levels. We definitely did that. Dave organised us yoga, breath work and sound therapy - all were amazing and highly recommend. We also had a sauna and a dip in the creek and on my it was my favourite part! We went early July and the cold weather was perfect. We stayed in the glamping tents and they are well though out with everything you need including an ensuite. We also had a campfire. Food was amazing and I highly recommend. Dave continually thought about our stay and how to make it amazing and exactly what we wanted. We only wished we stayed longer. We will definitely be back and can’t wait for our next stay.

Absolutely stunning place. So many little details that makes the place very special and unique. Dave and Auna are lovely and kind people and you can see the love they put into this place. I was part of the day retreat and it was the perfect day. Starting with traditional Yoga, which was for me a new but absolutely amazing experience. Then Sauna and swimming and refreshing in the creek to a delicious and nutritious lunch to a very calimg and relaxing sound healing meditation. The whole day felt just perfect, calming and perfect to recharge and reconnect with yourself. The accommodation was the perfect addition to the whole experience. I definitely can recommend the weekend escape experience for everyone to slow down at least for a weekend.
