Coodlie Park – a slice of paradise on the Eyre Peninsula
Located along the Great Australian Bight, on 500 acres of bushland between the rugged Talia Caves and the stunning Mt Camel Beach, Coodlie Park Eco Retreat is more than just a place to stay – it’s a destination where nature, adventure, and sustainability collide, offering an unforgettable off-grid escape.
Stay Your Way
From cosy cottages to bush camping under a canopy of stars, Coodlie Park caters to all types of travellers. Camp Coodlie invites you to unplug at camping spots throughout the park, complete with bucket showers and composting toilets. If you’re after a little more comfort, Swag Huts offer a chance to sleep in comfort under the “billion-star hotel” skies. Families and small groups will love the Coodlie Cottages, which combine homely comforts with eco-conscious touches like solar power and rainwater. Larger groups can enjoy the spacious Coodlie House, complete with a games room, firepit, and a fully equipped commercial kitchen.
A Stargazing Spectacle
The real showstopper at Coodlie Park is the Night in Deep Space, an interactive stargazing experience held throughout January that will leave you literally star-struck. Presented by Padriac “PK” Koen of PK Imaging, this nightly event offers visitors the chance to explore celestial wonders in real-time through advanced astronomy technology. From the world’s first mobile deep-space observatory to live big-screen displays, it’s a cosmic adventure under some of the clearest skies in Australia. Shows run nightly from 9pm (weather permitting) and the only cost is a donation to support PK Imaging’s revolutionary initiative in astronomical education.
Nature’s Playground
Coodlie Park is not only a retreat, but your gateway to the natural wonders of the Eyre Peninsula. A short drive away, you’ll discover Talia Caves and their stunning rock pools, while the Lake Newland Conservation Park offers a glimpse into the unique ecosystems of this region. For beach lovers, Talia Beach and Venus Bay await with pristine sands and breathtaking coastal views.
No visit is complete without the bucket-list experience of swimming with sea lions in Baird Bay, just 40 minutes away. Dive into crystal-clear waters and meet these playful creatures for an adventure that will stay with you long after your return home.
Sustainable Serenity
Coodlie Park’s commitment to eco-tourism is evident in every aspect of its operation, from solar-powered accommodation to structures built with recycled materials like oyster timber. Wildlife conservation and responsible waste management ensure that the park remains a haven for native species and future generations.
With prices from as little as $25, Coodlie Park Eco Farm is a slice of paradise inviting you to unplug and connect with nature while doubling as the perfect base to explore the Eyre Peninsula’s West Coast. For more info click here.
