Wilderluxe Lake Keepit
Unparallelled views over the majestic lake and the bordering grandeur of the Great Diving Range welcome the luxury traveller to Wilderluxe Lake Keepit. This intimate, luxury glamping retreat in NSW’s Big Sky Country is sprinkled along a ridgeline, high above the tranquil waters of Lake Keepit. Discover a secluded sanctuary that offers connection with the untouched beauty of North West NSW and its heritage, and a refined base from which to explore, indulge and reconnect.
Peaceful and refined, Wilderluxe Lake Keepit melds laid-back luxury with Australian adventure. This bespoke accommodation is the perfect destination for unforgettable escapes, intimate celebrations and customised retreats. Exclusivity and nature’s boundless beauty awaits.
Luxury Tented Accommodation
This exclusive, premium lakeside experience combines the adventure of nature with the luxury of a boutique retreat, complete with water views from sunrise to sunset.
Eight beautifully appointed Star Tents are scattered high on the hill, enveloped by nature on all sides. Each luxury tent keeps guests connected to the sights and sounds of the surrounding native bushland and tranquil waters of the lake, and the custom-designed skylight, is perfectly positioned for stargazing from your bed, under the vast outback sky.
Wake up to the iconic sounds of the kookaburra, magpie and pied butcherbird and have private front row seats to the morning’s ‘golden hour’, where the sun rises over the misty water. Explore one of NSW’s most pristine natural playgrounds or simply unwind and enjoy the comfort of your unique accommodation from your private deck. Then, as the sun begins to dip, look to the sky with a drink in hand and witness Big Sky Country at its best.
Enjoy creature comforts including plush king bedding, internal heating and air-conditioning, ensuite, kitchenette, and private outdoor bathtub on an expansive deck boasting 180-degree views of the lake and mountains.
Unforgettable Experiences
Days unfold gently and guests are invited to curate their own escape, at their own pace.
The clear waterways provide endless opportunities for adventure by kayak or paddleboard, with birdlife moving quietly along the shoreline. Hike through the surrounding woodland forest trails, home to kangaroos and echidnas, take an e-bike ride along quiet country roads or book a scenic glider flight at the next-door Lake Keepit Soaring Club and enjoy the landscape from the sky. Afternoon sundowners are enjoyed lakeside, then gather around the firepit or enjoy the comfort of the Gilay Lounge to scan the Milky Way through a celestial telescope thanks to some of NSW’s clearest skies.
Each season welcomes a different mood
- Summer is a sun-drenched escape where early morning paddles welcome the day. Arrive through fields of sunflowers before balmy afternoons melt into star-speckled skies, best enjoyed from your private deck or Star Tent.
- Autumn brings crisp air, soft light and perfect days for exploring by foot or bike. End the day with a sunset paddle before retreating to the firepit beneath the stars.
- Winter promises cool, sunny days made for fishing, wildlife walks and lakeside adventures. Slow afternoons by the fire or soaking in the tub give way to peaceful nights beneath the wide-open sky.
