New whaleshark team in town, and these guys are very different.
I encourage you to check out their website and investigate further for yourselves. They have a revolving staff of marine biologists and researchers on board, but they only ‘go out’ 2 – 3 times a week, so you will need to be organised in advance.
Below is an excerpt taken from their website:
Unlike any other ‘swim with whale sharks’ tour on the Ningaloo, Oceanwise Expeditions combine ecotourism and marine research to facilitate education and conservation, helping to protect whale sharks and the Ningaloo Coast World Heritage Area

Also have a look at their free photos gallery…shots of the whaleshark are magnificent! http://www.flickr.com/photos/oceanwise_expeditions

Recently whilst out walking the dog the other evening, I came across the lovely folk at the mini golf on Murat Road. It is just opposite the entrance to Graces Tavern as you come into town.
Three words to tell you…ALL DAY BREAKFAST…7am to 7pm. How good is that? AND you can bring your dog with you, obviously on a lead. They will even find a bowl for you for water. As they themselves are dog loving (Germain Short Haired Pointers) crew, it is great to see that someone is embracing the towns love of pets also.
They are also going to be doing Spit Roast nights, so I will give you feedback when I know more. For now, when you are in Exmouth on your holiday, staying in Ningaloo Reef Holiday’s Pet Friendly Accommodation, bring your dog with you anytime of day for a leisurely feed in the gardens at the mini golf grounds.

Give support to the biggest fish in the ocean
Australia’s Coral Coast is one of five tourism regions withing Western Australia and it stretches from Cervantes in the south to Exmouth in the north. It is approximately 1170km of coastline.
The Coral Coast is is home to Australia’s largest fringing reef, the Ningaloo Reef which is made up of more than 260km of coast. The Ningaloo Reef is home to 500+ species of tropical fish and 220+ species of coral.
The worlds largest fish, the Whaleshark, grows up to 18m long, makes the Ningaloo Reef its home from March – July every year. Ningaloo is one of the few regions in the world where the whaleshark regularly visits and is easily accessible to observers.
Seems like there are plenty of reasons to visit but as the whalesharks are now ‘just’ arriving into our waters, how about coming sooner than later.

The prevalence of cyclones in the North West at this time of year, becomes more of a chore than anything else. Shade sails down, shade sails up…furniture in, furniture out. And with 20 holiday homes to manage here at Ningaloo Reef Holiday, that is alot of work. But with a great team around me, we get it all done with ease.
Things to pack when in a cyclone. The Emergency Kit!
- torches, batteries, candles, matches…anything that will light up the lock down dark house when power goes out.
- games and books, nothing worse than polite conversation for days on end with the dog.
- food and water, things that you can eat without refrigeration, its hard to get this one right as no one wants a house full of baked bean eaters.
- and grog…well you might as well have a party if you are locked down.
So with Cyclone Peta on her way to us by Friday, here’s hoping it is only wind and rain it provides, the tanks need filling and I kind of like a day indoors with a good book. Fingers crossed.

With a vast array of accommodation available in Exmouth it is important to shop around. It is a well known fact that holiday home accommodation in Exmouth is by far the most economical way to go.
You get a whole house, (not just a cramped chalet) on a large block (most around 9oom2), on a quiet residential street. You get secure parking for your boat and vehicles. You get a yard and gardens for the kids to play in. Some homes are even pet friendly. All holiday homes are fully equipped with all linen and household items.
With motel rooms starting at around $220 a night, how could you possibly pass up a holiday ‘home’ with personality and character at (starting from) $180 a night!!
The downside of holiday home accommodation….you have to book early…word is out that it is the most affordable way to holiday in Exmouth and on the Ningaloo Reef.

It’s great to see so many beautiful weddings occurring in this town of ours. Great venues like the Novotel Ningaloo Resort now provide quality receptions with stunning food. Or for a more casual approach, there are always beach weddings at Turquoise Bay or any of our wonderful World Heritage beaches.
We now even have our own resident Marriage Celebrant living in town. Hilary Van Eldik has preformed numerous weddings, naming and vow renewal ceremonies in Exmouth. She is just gorgeous, and a lovely calming influence on what can be a very stressful day.
Book your accommodation early, guests need to know that the sooner they book the less chance they have of missing out. Exmouth is a small town, with limited accommodation.
Holiday Homes from Ningaloo Reef Holidays are still the most economical accommodation in town.
For more contacts and information regarding having your special wedding day held in Exmouth, contact me. I have lots of advice and can steer you in the right direction.

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.
