February Accommodation Discounts – Ningaloo Reef

January 29th, 2010 by Helen

February is one of the BEST months to holiday in Exmouth on the Coral Coast. The Ningaloo Reef is crystal clear perfect, the beaches deserted, fishing pentiful, and the town is quiet.

Yes it is hot, but with all our homes fully airconditioned, and the cooling waters of the beach not far away, who cares!?

We are offering a free night with any booking of 4 nights or more for the month of February 2010. That is potentially a saving of nearly $200 a night in some homes.

With 6 homes, ready and waiting for you to book, right now is the perfect time for a trip to the Ningaloo Reef and Exmouth. Take a day trip to Coral Bay, or a fishing charter to the Murion Islands, or snorkel at Torquoise Bay.

By the way it is turtle season….There is lots happening on our beaches at night!

Coral Bay or Exmouth?

December 8th, 2009 by Helen

Lately I have had conversations with potential guests enquiring as to whether they should base their Ningaloo Reef holiday experience in either Coral Bay or Exmouth. Two trains of thought here.

Yes Coral bay is gorgeous, and the reef is ‘just there’. Its a one street town and with that comes all the charm of a small remote community, on a glorious beach, in the best state in Australia.

But, because it is so small, there is little to no accommodation available. Only the very organised, booking many years in some cases for prime spots, have the opportunity to stay in Coral Bays’ very limited accommodation.

So if you are hell bent of basing your reef exploration in Coral Bay then BOOK EARLY, very early.

However, Exmouth may be another 150km away, but with a little less forward planning, you can find accommodation relatively easily. Obviously peak periods sell quickly, you may need to think ahead 6 months. But the choice is far greater than in Coral Bay.

You can also get to the reef very easily from Tantabiddi (38km from town) or Bundegi ( 13km from town) via the boat ramps.

Choice is everything. But planning your holiday often years in advance can prove tricky!

Skywest Does it Again!

November 13th, 2009 by Helen

What have they done?

Cheap flights to Exmouth. Now you can fly cheaply to Exmouth and have the holiday you want, without the 16 hour drive. Some still like the drive, and I admit to being one of these tortured souls. But if a quick few days in Exmouth on our beautiful Coral Coast is just what you need, then fly.

The cheap flights sell fast. So book now, and I mean it, they sell fast. $160 each way is great value.

Its about time I hear you say. Well yes, for too long it has been a “keen price”, but the masses revolted! Hence our cheap flights.

Thankyou Skywest Airlines for allowing us to holiday on our beautiful Ningaloo Reef coastline.

Ningaloo Reef Protected

October 21st, 2009 by Helen

A snippet of news on the ABC radio yesterday has left me wondering the implications of the  proposal to nominate the Ningaloo Reef  on our WA coastline for World Heritage Listing.

The Ningaloo Reef is 160km long and stretches south of Coral Bay north to Exmouth and the North West Cape. This stretch of coast is currently a protected Sanctuary Zone for all Marine life with strict limits on where fishing can occur.

How does World Heritage Listing change our use of the reef?

But with 70% of the worlds coral reef degrading rapidly, it is vital to save what we have left. Any protection is good protection.
