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.

I cannot stress enough. Please read your booking terms and conditions when you confirm your booking with us. When you pay your deposit you agree to the booking terms.
Should you wish to cancel your booking the following occurs:
- If within 28 days of booking dates your forfeit all funds paid as we are usually unable to fill the booking dates at short notice.
- At the discretion of the home owner, they MAY agree to transfer your booking to another date in their house only. They are under no obligation to do so however.
- If cancelled well before the 28 day prior to booking date, then the owners (at their discretion) MAY agree to refund your deposit. They are under no obligation to do so.
- Should we mutually agree to cancel a booking due to unforeseen circumstances such as flood, cyclone, fires etc then of course all funds will be returned in full to you.
Also note that should you be evicted from your property due to antisocial behavour, you also forfeit all funds paid.
Please read the Booking Terms and Conditions they are there for a reason. NRH BOOKING TERMS AND CONDITIONS March 2012

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.

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.

Ok, so we are now in the swing of summer. Here are my tips for you.
- make it part of your habit. Do not leave the house without a water bottle and sip water regularly all day. You will sweat much more than usual and wont even notice it.
- It obvious, but put a hat on as soon as you walk out the door, apart from the obvious sun implications, you will dehydrate from your scalp and you need to keep this as cool as possible.
- Ankles swelling? Raise them at night, eat less salty foods, drink less alcohol and go for a walk in the ocean.
- Eat foods high in water content like watermelon and salads.
- If it is very hot in town, it will be much cooler on the other side of the peninsula. Head out of town and hit the beach.
- Get in the water and cool down. Pack water, pack a hat, pack sunscreen, put on a rashie, set up a sunshade, get into the water. Cool your body temperature down immediately.
- All too hard? The town pool is always there for a quick dip. Or even getting wet at any one of the Gulf beaches will do the trick, the water is much warmer than the beaches on the other side, but you are at least wet!
- Use your airconditioners wisely. They are very efficient and will cool down the house quickly. I beg you not to leave them on all day and go out. It’s a waste of power and money and completely unnecessary. All it will do is raise the tariffs for next time as the owners get their power bills. Please consider this.

Yes. We still have some very limited dates for this years October School Holiday break.
Frangipani – available October 7th onwards. $150 a night minimum 7 night bookings
Jurabi – we had a cancellation so we have this home for both weeks. Families only. $200 a night minimum 7 night bookings
Christmas 2011 and New Year 2012 are heavily booked already. I have Frangipani available for a two week booking only over the break at $150 a night, Oyster is still available for all dates, Mandu for dates leading up to New Year, departing on the 27th December and two new houses which I will have to offer you in the coming months.
Be organised and book early is my suggestion. Avoid the last minute rush.
School holiday bookings for next year in April and Easter are nearly full already so if you are planning on coming you best make enquiries now.

Some of our lovely owners are dog owners and dog lovers also. They are happy for you to stay in their house with your pet…but there are conditions!!
* Do not leave the dog at home when you are out. It will only bark and the neighbours will get cranky and ring the Ranger. Not fair on the neighbours or the dog.
* Dogs are not allowed in the houses. The next guest may have allergies to pet hair, and the cleaners dont want to spend hours getting the place hair free. Just not allowed!
* If the dog gets out and runs amok around the streets and it picked up by the Ranger…you only have yourself to blame. Nothing to do with us or the owners.
* Dogs are not allowed in the Cape Range National Park but are welcome on most beaches other wise.
* Pick up all the doo doo before you leave and put in bags and put in bin. Not loose so that it can stink out the bins for the next guests.
* If the dog digs in the garden, you must rectify before you leave or we will charge you (at Exmouth rates!!) for a gardener to come in and replace plants and fix.
* Remember to give it more water than you usually do at home…it wont be used to the heat and will dehydrate just as easily as you will.
Look at Coral, Cobia and Marlin if you are interested in bringing your pet with you. All bookings are subject to the owners approval first…it’s not a given!

When searching recently for some holiday home accommodation in Exmouth I found myself in the United Kingdom, forgetting we had neighbours accross the waters sharing our town namesake. It made me think how easy it is to get lost on the web when searching.
The new predictive search used by Google is a great way to save time typing, but it does not always lead you to where you wish to go. I have since opted for being quite specific when searching. For example: when looking for holiday accommodation in Exmouth I find it easier to type ‘Ningaloo” as apposed to Exmouth, the search engines take me exactly to where I want to go.
You can waste alot of time scrolling through unrelated sites (say for Exmouth) when you really wanted Ningaloo Accommodation…thinking outside the box!
