The East Kimberley region in Western Australia is a stunning and remote area known for its breathtaking landscapes, ancient rock art, and luxurious retreats. The Kimberley region is one of the oldest and largest wilderness landscapes in the world, covering an area three times larger than England with a population of less than 40,000. The region is home to a diverse range of natural attractions, including majestic canyons, outback stations, and pristine beaches. One of the most notable retreats in the East Kimberley is El Questro Homestead, a luxury retreat perched on a clifftop with views across the Chamberlain River, offering an exclusive experience for a maximum of 20 guests. The property spans 700,000 acres and features a rich array of activities and attractions, including thermal springs, mud and salt-flats, rainforests, and cascading waterfalls.
Guests at El Questro Homestead can enjoy a range of outback experiences, such as soaking in the Zebedee Thermal Springs, cruising private gorges, rivers, and waterfalls, exploring the landscape from the air, horseback riding, or hiking through the terrain on foot. The Homestead is also known for serving gourmet cuisine in dramatic locations, such as intimate dinners or over a waterfall. Another option for luxury countryside retreats in East Kimberley is the collection of accommodations offered by Mr & Mrs Smith, providing a mix of sun-parched desert, swampy mangroves, ancient canyons, and jagged ravines, with waterfalls and impossibly blue seas as a backdrop. When visiting the East Kimberley region, it is essential to consider the best time to travel. The winter months are ideal, offering blue skies, perfect weather, and thriving towns.
