Coming Soon: Wilderluxe Lake Keepit Is the New Waterside Escape That Combines Curated Adventure and Inspired Stargazing
Tune out the noise with a gratifying lakefront retreat that blends epicurean experiences with cultural encounters.
Time for a little serenity? You'll find it in abundance at Wilderluxe Lake Keepit – a new luxury glamping retreat launching over the Easter long weekend. Set between Tamworth and Gunnedah – that's a five-hour drive from Sydney – this picture-perfect accommodation is immersed by the Great Dividing Range from its scenic perch on the edge of Lake Keepit.
Created by Reflections Holiday, a leading local outdoor hospitality company, this idyllic escape offers the ideal combination of adventure and indulgence. Designed with a small and responsible footprint, this intimate setting features eight Star Tents and the shared Gilay Lounge, where guests are invited to enjoy social and dining experiences. With each stay offering spectacular panoramic views, sliding into a more comfortable mindset is made easy.
Inside each Star Tent, guests will discover plush interiors with all the creature comforts needed for a cosy stay. From king-size beds to a fully enclosed ensuite bathroom and a well-stocked kitchenette, year-round comfort is virtually guaranteed. Meanwhile, the design also factors in the region's remote location, with a skylight positioned above the bed so you can soak in the starry sky once the day's light has faded.
Each retreat also features multiple outdoor balconies, as well as an outdoor bath with lake views, ensuring the perfect perspective to admire the beauty of Lake Keepit. Surrounded by lush foliage, expect native birdsongs to soundtrack your stay, while you're sure to catch a glimpse or two of bounding kangaroos and wallabies carving through the bushland.
"Wilderluxe Lake Keepit seamlessly blends the untamed beauty of this most remarkable location with an elevated level of sophistication and comfort, catering to the discerning traveller. And with only an easy one-hour flight from Sydney, a weekend of wild luxury in the countryside has never been more accessible," says Nick Baker, CEO of Reflections Holidays.
Forming an essential part of the Wilderluxe Lake Keepit experience, the first night includes the 'Big Sky Dreaming' dinner, where local Kamilaroi man, Uncle Len Waters, blends Indigenous and Western astronomy as guests indulge in a gourmet feast. Meanwhile, there's also the chance to design your own adventure for the rest of your stay, with activities like hiking treks, lakeside picnics, farmhouse cooking classes and even scenic cross-country flights on the agenda.
Wilderluxe Lake Keepit launches this April at Keepit Dam Road, Keepit. Head to the website for more information.
