The house was basic but very practical. It was perfectly positioned and had very good views of the sea. very close walking distance to beach and main town area. Remember that it is a small town and isolated so take some groceries with you - but if you are happy to pay slightly inflated prices the town has a few shops that sell most things. Make sure you have Telstra or OPTUS as there is no Vodaphone coverage From 100km from Denham or in Monkey Mia. There is free wifi in certain places in Denham but the house has no wifi and this is an issue, if you have to get mails or go on line. The house is a bit hot in peak summer, but it has a fantastic covered patio that will be ideal in Autum Winter and Spring. Even in Summer it was great to be on the patio which has a great couch, TV, Fridges and outside dining table.
The house is all you need as you would be out most the day at the beach and going to see dolphins at Monkey Mia and also doing small walks and drives to the many lookout points and beautiful beaches.
The outside shower was great and we were very happy with the extra space and berooms which gave us extra storage for our bicycles- which we did not use as there is really no space to ride- unless you have children - where there is a wonderful 3km stretch of path on the beach for them to ride.
There is quite a lot of holiday accommodation in Denham- but this house is separate, has space and not joined to other units- very quiet and definitely will book this house again in the future.
It would be ideal but obviously a bit cheeky for the house to possibly have a canoe/ some small paddle craft as the water in Denham is very flat and it would be wonderful to paddle a solid canoe on the bay area- which is wave free
Our family had a great time at the house. There is very little we would want to change as it would increase costs to rent.
It is a large house to close up at the end of the holiday, but if you live neat- not too much work to leave in good order.
We were there for about 9 days. If you do not do 4*4 then this may be too long. If you have a 4*4 take your basic equipment- spade, tracks and tyre gage as the Pernon Park is wonderful and you need to deflate tyres. We are no experts in 4*4 but we could not get to the areas we wanted to but would have if we had taken basic equipment.
Go to look out places on windfree mornings as if you go when the see is choppy you will not see the sharks etc at Eagle Bluff
great place
