Where ancient landscapes, conservation and human connection converge.
Yarnbala is more than a place — it is a philosophy born around our family’s original campfire, the oldest place of gathering. Since the beginning of human evolution, we have gathered in circles — to talk, to listen, to share stories, and to feel connected.
The circle is how we have always come together. Nestled within a critically endangered ecosystem, Yarnbala offers intimate, conservation-led experiences designed to embrace, to gather, and to belong. That is why Yarnbala feels so natural, because it is how we have always come together.

Spot some of our unique native birds and animal species, you may see an emu with a flock of chicks, a goanna basking in the sun or the cutest native animal, the western pygmy possum. Learn the ancient method of water divining and see if you have the ‘gift’ of finding ground water deep under Yarnbala.
Then relax and enjoy a beautiful local Coffin Bay gin, garnished with the very own botanicals you have recently collected or some of South Australias finest wines or craft beers whilst you are inspired by a live performance of the didgeridoo, blended seamlessly with the lapsteel guitar.
Marvel at the famous artistically designed central meeting place of Yarnbala, made entirely from recycled natural materials built beautifully around the central fire pit.
