A short walk from Exmouth's town centre and the World Heritage waters of Ningaloo Reef, this independently run property gathers self-contained apartments and villas around a swimming pool and manicured gardens. Layouts run from a one-bedroom apartment to a three-bedroom deluxe villa with a mezzanine loft, each with its own gourmet kitchen and laundry. The on-site Whalers restaurant is licensed, and complimentary snorkelling fins nod to the reef offshore. Suited to families, couples and groups making the reef their base.
