Naiko Retreat’s owners, the Johnson family, first purchased Rarkang in 1998, their mission being to protect and preserve the land. It is also home to two permanent streams – Campbell’s Creek and Rarkang Creek which come from springs within Deep Creek. The Johnsons have worked hard to restore local vegetation so that its natural beauty can be enjoyed by many generations to come.
From waterfalls to wildflowers, Rarkang is home to some of Australia’s most iconic animals – kangaroos, echidnas and a variety of bird life
Architect Max Pritchard designed Naiko to complement the surrounding environment, working in harmony with the natural elements of the land. Solar panels, recycled infrastructure, worm farm, water conservation methods and 60,000 litre rainwater tank systems have been set up so guests can tread lightly.
BUT WAIT, IT GETS BETTER.
Guests staying at Naiko, also get access to Futuro. Your very own zen pod, separate from the retreat – for the ultimate down time.
Created by Finnish designer Matti Suuronen as a ’portable ski chalet’ in the 1960’s, the Futuro home is an architectural icon; one of only 60 in the world.
Shaped like a flying-saucer, this stand-alone futuristic space is a place Naiko guests can use for meditation, inspiration and reflection.
