At a glance
Mt Jukes Eco Retreat is an off-grid accommodation and wellness venue on Ellwoods Road at Mount Jukes, around 30 minutes from Mackay and within reach of the Whitsundays. Set among natural bushland and volcanic terrain, the retreat is designed for slower stays, day retreats, weekend escapes and hosted experiences.
The setting centres on a natural spring that runs through ancient volcanic rocks, creating a place for swimming and creek dips. Yoga, meditation and infrared sauna sessions form part of the retreat’s wellness offering, while the surrounding landscape provides space to pause between activities. The atmosphere is quiet, nature-focused and suited to travellers seeking time away from busy routines.
Accommodation includes private eco-glamping tents, timber cabins and the Supreme Lodge. The tents provide a more immersive outdoor stay, while the cabins offer a cosy timber setting. The Supreme Lodge serves as the central space for private stays and hosted retreats. Some accommodation features include outdoor baths, decks and private outdoor bathroom areas, with natural surroundings incorporated into the experience.
Food is presented as farm-to-plate catering, with produce connected to the retreat’s organic garden and more than 350 fruit trees. Meals are part of selected retreats and hosted experiences rather than a conventional restaurant service. The food offering complements the venue’s focus on wellbeing, sustainability and relaxed communal time.
Mt Jukes Eco Retreat suits couples, solo travellers, small groups and organisations looking for a nature-based setting for wellness activities, private stays or corporate wellbeing days. It also provides a venue for hosted retreats and special occasions. The combination of off-grid accommodation, spring swimming, wellness facilities and locally connected food gives the property a distinct rural retreat character near Mackay.
The retreat’s approach places sustainability alongside comfort. Natural features remain central to the experience, while the accommodation and shared spaces provide a considered base for rest, reflection and connection with the surrounding landscape.
