Bridgetown's premier nature retreat, Serenity Gully, has been crowned Australia's best glamping destination at the prestigious 2025 World Luxury Travel Awards.
The Southern Forests property secured the national honour by demonstrating exceptional commitment to luxury, sustainability, and guest experience, placing it among Australia's most elite travel brands.
A Vision Validated
Co-founder Susan Randazzo expressed both excitement and humility at receiving the significant recognition. "We're absolutely thrilled and humbled to receive this incredible recognition," she said.
"This award validates our vision of creating a truly unique couples luxury glamping experience that harmonises five-star comfort with environmental responsibility and complete immersion in nature."
Luxury Meets Wilderness
Nestled within 478 private acres in the Southern Forests region, Serenity Gully operates as an exclusive adults-only retreat featuring three luxury eco-tents strategically positioned hundreds of metres apart for maximum privacy.
The off-grid property runs entirely on solar power and rainwater harvesting systems, demonstrating its commitment to environmental stewardship.
Guests enjoy premium amenities including private outdoor stone bathtubs with panoramic jarrah forest views, crackling fireplaces, and regular wildlife encounters that enhance the authentic nature experience.
Building on Success
This latest achievement adds to Serenity Gully's growing collection of honours, which includes a silver medal at the 2023 WA Tourism Awards - remarkable recognition for the business's first year of operation.
The property's founders, Susan and Franco Randazzo, are currently expanding their offerings with two new luxury steel-and-glass chalets currently under development.
"This award comes at an exciting time as we prepare to unveil our new chalets," Mr Randazzo commented. "It reinforces that we're on the right path in creating something truly special that resonates with travellers seeking authentic luxury experiences in nature."
The World Luxury Travel Award solidifies Serenity Gully's position as Western Australia's leading luxury glamping destination, offering couples an unparalleled blend of five-star comfort and environmental consciousness deep within the beautiful Southern Forests.
