Denham Homestays

The hotel is right by the sea, the hotel also has a small swimming pool, we have dinner at the hotel restaurant, it feels good, next to the gas station and supermarket, very convenient. A washing machine is available in the hotel, but it is only payable by coin. There is free parking.

Called in at the hotel on 4 occasions during our week's stay in Denham. Every time the meals took 50 minutes to arrive after ordering . Don't expect a friendly reception from hotel/bar management- you're not going to get it. The other more junior staff are great. The one time we spoke to the chef he was down right rude. BUT it's still the best place in town. Try it. We'll worth a visit. The food is nice.

My stay was Chalet #11 (one-bedroom) which had a partial view of the ocean and could easily sleep 4 people. I was very pleasantly surprised by how immaculately well-kept, clean and new the inside of the chalet is. As I had to travel all the way from Jurien Bay to Denham, I didn't get in until 5.40pm and Tara left the keys and check-in form for me, attached to the front door of the admin office. Kitchen was fully equipped with all utensils and microwave. Complimentary teabags and instant coffees. Adequate toiletries, towels and amenities were provided. I was surprised to find a hair dryer too! There's even a separate sink you can wash your bathers in. TV reception was a tad patchy whilst I was there but when at Denham, stuff the TV. Internet speed was good - could stream from spotify and youtube with no issues or pauses. Check-in and check-out was a breezy affair. Parking was ample. Oh, the view of the sunset from the establishment was extraordinary!! Wished I had managed to snag a beachfront chalet (next time!). Tara was an absolute delight to talk to. A million thanks for keeping my charger!!

The front desk was very early, no one was there. I checked in at the front door and waited for a few minutes to drive at the front desk. Give me the keys and open the door to see the room. In fact, I can leave the keys at the front desk like other hotels. A few minutes is also cold enough. There are two large and one small beds in the room, suitable for children. I will check out at 9 o'clock in the morning, clean the house, and the people who come to the hotel will come. The kitchen is fully equipped and the car can be parked in the backyard.

My wife and I stayed 3 nights, arriving at 1PM from Carnarvon with a rental car. I used the lockbox to access my named letter with the key to our prepaid accommodation. Villa #9, entered through the patio’s sliding glass door, was clean, tilled and spacious with everything one could need including a fully outfitted kitchen(gas stove/oven & full sized refrigerator), a small bathroom with a stall shower/fan and a bedroom with a comfortable queen. Two small bars of soap and dishwashing liquid were provided. The older wall AC unit was not needed, the secure WIFI was average and the washing machine/laundry tub was nice. On the negative side; the only frying pan was very large and misshapen, the kitchen fan was too noisy to use, it was difficult to read with limited living room light and the TV had lots of channels but was small. The location is outstanding. Walking along the bayfront, its 1 block south to the IGA and 1 block north to the Discovery Center.

Top dollar price for 2* accommodation. Two nights in an ocean view room. Fabulous view but, oh dear, the room was dire. We booked and paid for a room with kitchenette - their description not mine. The kitchenette was tea and coffee making facilities and a fridge. No toaster, no microwave. Zilch. No chance of self catering unless you use the communal kitchens. Thanks but no thanks. We had taken our own breakfasts which didn’t need toasting or microwaving. The bathroom was tired and grubby with an extractor fan attached to the same switch as the light so no creeping to the loo in the night without waking other half up! The main restaurant was OK but our starter of seafood came without the Exmouth prawns which were advertised as part of the seafood plate. When we queried this omission we were told they’d run out. They told us they’d given us an extra scallop as compensation! When we were eating our mains the manager turned up at the table with a plate with 3 prawns on! Had he just caught them or had the kitchen brigade defrosted them? We’ll never know as we sent them back to the kitchen. Second night we ate in the bar - pizza. Not home made but from a packet. I saw them opening them. They were OK but at $25 each they should have been fabulous. Wednesday 31 May there was a big rugby game on TV which we wanted to watch in the bar. No problem until a small group of people became very drunk and very offensive. One guy in particular was effing and blinding at another group of people who, fortunately, were adult enough to ignore him. When we spoke to the barman and asked if they were trained in the Responsible Service of Alcohol he told us that he wasn’t sure! Was there a language problem. I thought the RSA was a requirement of working on licensed premises in W.A. The experience left a bit of a sour taste. To sum up - there is very little accommodation in Monkey Mia except the resort so they have cornered the market. The property is tired and in need of investment. Come on RAC - update this site. A lick of paint won’t do. It needs bringing into 2023. It’s stuck in 1990!
