This year we were full in all our homes about 4-5 months in advance of the Easter 2012 dates. Not everyone is a forward planner, but this morning I got my first 2013 Easter enquiry, that is 13 months in advance!
Next year the April School Holidays fall late in the month commencing April 20 – May 5.
Easter is very early commencing Good Friday March 29 – April 1. Only one or two of our holiday homes will accept a 3 night booking so if you are planning on coming to Exmouth in 2013 for an Easter break, you will need to be well organised to book.
We lose a house or two next year, but we also gain a few new ones as well. So exciting times ahead.

Good news is that I have two homes to rent which are looking for long short term rental. That specifically means a minimum of one month to a maximum of 3 months.
Manta is a three bedroom older style Dravo with one King Bed, one Double bed and one fold out double on a sofa bed. There is one bathroom. Rates range from $700 – $900 a week depending on length of stay. (negotiable)
Seabird is a new three bedroom one bathroom home with one Queen bed and a set of bunks in each of the other two rooms. Very new and modern. This home is perfect for a family who may be in town on a short term contract. Rates range from $800 – $1000 a week depending on length of stay. (negotiable)
It is very difficult to find accommodation at these prices for short stays in Exmouth, and already I have some months filled. Please contact me for more information if you are interested in either a long holiday in town or accommodation for your workers.

We are starting to get enquiries from our guests regarding where they can hire holiday items such as bikes, esky’s, sun umbrellas and shelters, fishing rods etc. So we have decided that we will stock those items and rent them to our holiday guests.
We are just building our stock so would love your feedback on what you think we should offer. Currently we are able to offer you a selection of eskys, beach umrellas and shelters, we have a few extra push bikes on offer, and of course we have baby cots and high chairs for your holiday house.
Great rates for our guests at Ningaloo Reef Holidays, but anyone can rent from us. It just makes the holiday easier when we have less to lug up in the car. Give me a call or email for very reasonable rates on offer. Also would appreciate your feedback on what is needed.

We love late bookings in our holiday homes in Exmouth. There are great bargains to be had. Not always the best idea to simply arrive into town to then look for accommodation, but very often we can easily put you up last minute in one of our great holiday homes.
Today I got an email at 7am from a Bunbury couple and their wee highland terrier, looking for 4 nights accommodation. Driftwood was available which is also pet friendly. They swung by the office at 13 Griffiths Way, I took their full payment, they followed me over to the house, and they are now out fishing from Bundegi Boat Ramp. Very simple process.
So whilst I dont recommend that you try this during school holidays or peak times, you can sometimes jag a last minute holiday house in Exmouth…with ease through Ningaloo Reef Holidays.

Little known fact that I booked Jamie Mercanti and his band Slim Jim and the Phats Band over 20 plus years ago now for one of their very first gigs at the Iona Presentation College year 10 dance. That was an awesome night back in 1983!!
Now the band is back to play tomorrow night march 9th 2012 with their second last gig ever at the opening night of GAMEX Fishing Competition in Exmouth. Tickets can still be purchased from Bluewater Tackle in Exmouth or from the Exmouth Game Fishing Club. I believe it is nearly sold out.
With tomorrow being a steamy 38deg and humid, it will surely be a night to remember. I am personally looking forward to catching up with my old friend Jamie.

Among our extensive range of holiday homes in Exmouth, we also have a beautiful holiday home on the Exmouth Marina Village precinct. Ningaloo Reef Holidays proudly represents this wonderful home on the Exmouth canals with views towards the Ranges and the afternoon sunset.
Many guests who have enjoyed the experience in Mandu Villa, comment on the array of fish to be caught directly from their own canal rock wall. Landing a Blue bone is not unheard of at Mandu. Even a quick dip in the canals is common. Marina living allows you to walk to the beach from your holiday accommodation. The Novotel Ningaloo Resort is only a short 200m away for an afternoon cocktail or meal in Mantarays Restaurant. The Exmouth Marina boat ramp is only 200m away also, along with the Exmouth Game Fishing Club, your marina accommodation is waiting for you at Mandu Villa.
This home is a three bedroom two bathroom luxury accommodation on the waterfront in Exmouth. Minimum night bookings range from 3-6 nights, with prices starting at $300 a night. An absolute steal of a holiday home, with all the comforts of your own home.

All our holiday homes in Exmouth are subject to minimum night stays. Each owner decides what they feel is appropriate to their home and their requirements. None of our homes have minimum night stay requirements of under 3 nights.
Homes accepting 3 nights or more – Coral, Turtle and Marlin
Homes accepting 4 nights or more – Amberjack, Frangipani, Driftwood, Oyster, Jurabi, Tusk.
Homes accepting 5 nights or more – Mandu Villa
Homes accepting 7 nights or more – Cobia and Seabird.
Please note that on the cheaper homes there is a loading for shorter night stays to cover the costs of the cleaning of the home (which is the same cost regardless of whether you stay 14 nights or 3 nights.) Remember these are houses the same size as a full home, they are not hotel rooms, so they take time to clean in between guests, hence the additional costs.
We cannot accept one or two night bookings due to the low tariffs we charge and the high costs to maintain a home.

Much preparation goes into getting the holiday homes we have in Exmouth in readiness for a pending cyclone, this one being Iggy. Who calls a cyclone Iggy by the way?!
Once we know that evacuation is required, I do the ring around to our guests to inform them of the bad news that it would be wise to leave town. Not always that easy as our recent evacuees have discovered. Fires have cut of the North West Highway, so it has been a difficult decision. Stay or go? Our Karratha guests held out as long as possible, thinking that a cyclone in Exmouth on holiday would be a hell of alot better than a cyclone in Karratha whilst working. But even they in the end couldn’t take the risk of flooding.
Our caretakers then go around to all the houses, taking down shade sails, bringing in all the furniture, fastening the cyclone shutters and battening down the hatches.
We sincerely hope that Iggy is all POP and not too much BANG. Will keep you posted.

There is very exciting news this week for the Exmouth Game Fishing Club.
The annual Gamex tournament at Exmouth will this coming March 2012 be part of the International Game Fishing Association (IGFA) Great Marlin Race. The Great Marlin Race is a partnership between IGFA and the USA’s Stanford University that pairs recreational anglers with cutting-edge science to learn more about the basic biology of marlin and how they utilise the open ocean habitat. The goal of the program is to deploy 50 pop-up archival tags (PAT) in marlin at billfish tournaments around the world each year, and a limited number of these tags will be available to Gamex anglers, with the tournament running from March 9-17. Gamex and Exmouth is the ONLY Australian Tournament and location that has been chosen for 2012. (We feel very privileged!!) This effort will increase understanding of distribution, population structure and biology of marlin and engage anglers and the general public in the research process.
By increasing the understanding of where these animals go and how they use the pelagic ecosystem, it will provide valuable information to the resource managers and policy makers responsible for ensuring their long-term conservation. One hundred and twenty days after each tag is deployed, it automatically releases itself from the fish and transmits information such as the fish’s path, depth profiles, and sea temperatures to earth-orbiting ARGOS satellites. Tag sponsors, anglers and the general public will be able to view the migration routes of tagged marlin through Google Earth-enabled maps on the Great Marlin Race website where pop-up tag locations and animal tracks are displayed.
The subsidised cost of each tag is $4000. The marlin, and sponsor, whose tag travels the farthest of all 50 tags will be recognised at the annual IGFA International Auction and Banquet in January 2013, while the angler who tags the winning fish in the Exmouth leg of the 2011/12 Great Marlin Race will receive a free five-year membership to EGFC and free entry to Gamex 2013.
The Exmouth Game Fishing Club believes it is fantastic opportunity to place Exmouth firmly on the international game fishing map and to support scientific research and marlin conservation. To sponsor a tag email Exmouth Game Fishing Club at secretary@egfc.com.au, with tags sold on a first come, first served basis. For more information visit go to http://igmr.igfa.org .
