Resorts, hotels, and accommodation options in Western Australia – Ningaloo Reef
Accommodation Overview
Ningaloo Reef accommodation ranges from Exmouth's quality hotels and resorts to Coral Bay's more intimate beachfront properties. Exmouth provides the widest range with the Novotel Ningaloo Reef resort, Potshot Hotel, and several quality motels and holiday parks. The town has excellent facilities including dive shops, restaurants, and a supermarket. Coral Bay offers a more intimate experience with the Ningaloo Reef Resort, holiday houses, and the Coral Bay Holiday Park, all within walking distance of the reef beach access. The region's accommodation should be booked well in advance during the peak whale shark season (April-July) and the school holiday periods. Several station stays and wilderness camps in the Cape Range National Park provide more adventurous alternatives for those seeking a remote experience.
