Who We are
Yarnbala is a family venture that encompasses a love for nature. Sometime ago the Slater family discovered a beautiful and unique piece of bushland in Coffin Bay.
Yarnbala is one of South Australia’s last remaining vegetation communities of the ‘grassy low she-oak woodland’, supporting a diverse and dense understory of endemic species. This bushland is now regarded as ‘critically endangered’.
Amongst this untouched bushland, the Slater family chose a sheltered area, where they could be together as a family around a fire, sharing stories and meals cooked over the hot coals under the stars. It is their sanctuary and place of tranquility amongst nature.
Since then, they have wanted to share these simple pleasures in life, of being ‘together’ surrounded in nature. This is how Yarnbala was born.
A thoughtfully designed central gathering area, was created around the original firepit. This was made using locally sourced natural and recycled materials. It is an incredibly unique and private hideaway, a sustainably crafted piece of art.
This family undertaking installs optimism for the future, by allowing us to celebrate the essence of life in a manner that harmonises with nature.
