ออนเดอะเด็ค @ ชาร์คเบย์

Everything about On The Deck @ Sharks Bay was excellent. Our accommodation was spacious, extremely clean and comfortable. It came with a superlative outside under cover totally equipped kitchen and eating area featuring dishwasher, BBQ, fridge etc. To describe Phil and Kerrie as the perfect hosts is no exaggeration. We were invited to join them for sunset drinks while also enjoying the antics of the kangaroos and emus who descended for their dusk dining experience. A highlight for us was a day's off roading through the national park in Phil's Wrangler Jeep. So cool! A highly recommended adventure.

We had booked 2 nights at this accommodation , in the downstairs room and arrived evening. As we returned from dinner, the bathroom had cockroaches and then we saw loads on the kitchen surface and all over our toiletries. We had to call the owners even though it was late and she sprayed the surface with some insecticide . Unfortunately we had to sleep there that night as we it was too late to book anywhere but we kept all lights open to stop the roaches creeping on our bed. Next day we had to book elsewhere and leave as it spoilt our stay and wasted our time to go to Francois Perron National Park. The owners said they cleaned the room but cockroaches come out at night. We had no problem anywhere else in WA .It was a shame we had to look for another accommodation and pay a high price last minute .

As many other reviewers have said, this is a fantastic place to stay. From the arrangements prior to arrival right through to check-out, everything was perfect. We stayed for two nights in the blue room. The room was exceptionally comfortable, very well equipped and spotlessly clean. The shared cooking area is also great with just about everything you could need (even the bbq is cleaned for you 😀 unlike anywhere else we have stayed). The breakfast hamper goes beyond anything you could wish for and includes cereals, bread, bacon, sausage, eggs, beans etc, plus juices. Lovely to be able to cook it and sit outside to eat with a view of the bush and the sea beyond. Finally, but most importantly, Phil and Kerrie were amazing hosts - ensuring everything was perfect throughout. Phil gave us great information on the area and other places we were due to visit as part of our trip, helped us light the bbq and, of course, is the person who then cleans it (so that we don’t have to). Phil and Kerrie also take care of the local wildlife with water (20+ months of drought make this essential) so emus and kangaroos visit each evening. Sharing this time with them each day is very special and we would not have missed it for anything. We highly recommend On the Deck to anyone looking to stay in Denham, it’s THE best place to stay 😀
