Denham Hotels with Pools

The hotel is right by the sea, the hotel also has a small swimming pool, we have dinner at the hotel restaurant, it feels good, next to the gas station and supermarket, very convenient. A washing machine is available in the hotel, but it is only payable by coin. There is free parking.

My stay was Chalet #11 (one-bedroom) which had a partial view of the ocean and could easily sleep 4 people. I was very pleasantly surprised by how immaculately well-kept, clean and new the inside of the chalet is. As I had to travel all the way from Jurien Bay to Denham, I didn't get in until 5.40pm and Tara left the keys and check-in form for me, attached to the front door of the admin office. Kitchen was fully equipped with all utensils and microwave. Complimentary teabags and instant coffees. Adequate toiletries, towels and amenities were provided. I was surprised to find a hair dryer too! There's even a separate sink you can wash your bathers in. TV reception was a tad patchy whilst I was there but when at Denham, stuff the TV. Internet speed was good - could stream from spotify and youtube with no issues or pauses. Check-in and check-out was a breezy affair. Parking was ample. Oh, the view of the sunset from the establishment was extraordinary!! Wished I had managed to snag a beachfront chalet (next time!). Tara was an absolute delight to talk to. A million thanks for keeping my charger!!

Top dollar price for 2* accommodation. Two nights in an ocean view room. Fabulous view but, oh dear, the room was dire. We booked and paid for a room with kitchenette - their description not mine. The kitchenette was tea and coffee making facilities and a fridge. No toaster, no microwave. Zilch. No chance of self catering unless you use the communal kitchens. Thanks but no thanks. We had taken our own breakfasts which didn’t need toasting or microwaving. The bathroom was tired and grubby with an extractor fan attached to the same switch as the light so no creeping to the loo in the night without waking other half up! The main restaurant was OK but our starter of seafood came without the Exmouth prawns which were advertised as part of the seafood plate. When we queried this omission we were told they’d run out. They told us they’d given us an extra scallop as compensation! When we were eating our mains the manager turned up at the table with a plate with 3 prawns on! Had he just caught them or had the kitchen brigade defrosted them? We’ll never know as we sent them back to the kitchen. Second night we ate in the bar - pizza. Not home made but from a packet. I saw them opening them. They were OK but at $25 each they should have been fabulous. Wednesday 31 May there was a big rugby game on TV which we wanted to watch in the bar. No problem until a small group of people became very drunk and very offensive. One guy in particular was effing and blinding at another group of people who, fortunately, were adult enough to ignore him. When we spoke to the barman and asked if they were trained in the Responsible Service of Alcohol he told us that he wasn’t sure! Was there a language problem. I thought the RSA was a requirement of working on licensed premises in W.A. The experience left a bit of a sour taste. To sum up - there is very little accommodation in Monkey Mia except the resort so they have cornered the market. The property is tired and in need of investment. Come on RAC - update this site. A lick of paint won’t do. It needs bringing into 2023. It’s stuck in 1990!

Very spacious with kitchen and full-size fridge, sitting area and breakfast tables & chairs for 6. Sofa for 5. Large TV but its remote control had dead batteries. 2 bedrooms, each with a double bed and single bed. Window of front bedroom could not lock! This is not secure as all units are on ground level. Large shower room but no shower gel, shampoo and conditioner. Very early check out. If check out after 9:00 am, would be charged $50.
