This is an exceptional B&B and is result of the design, layout and facilities in the place but mostly down to Phil and Kerrie the hosts. We stayed here in 2019 and had such a great time that we said if we're ever back in WA we must stay at Phil and Kerrie's place - we had to wait four years... What makes an exceptional B&B experience is usually down to the hosts, and this place is top notch... Phil was a mine of information on the wildlife, things to do around Shark Bay and beyond. I would absolutely recommend this place and Denham is a much better place to stay rather than Monkey Mia resort (25 mins away) as there are more eating, sightseeing and places to go... the Visitor Centre museum with 3D film on the sinking of the HMAS Sydney is well worth a visit. We stayed 3 nights.... just wish it was longer.

Nothing...

We loved staying at On the Deck@Shark Bay. Phil and Kerrie are amazing hosts - they were so welcoming and did everything they could to make our stay so perfect! The accommodation has a great location - so lovely to see the roos every day coming for their evening snacks. It was so easy to walk into town which we really loved as we enjoy a bit of exercise every day. We loved the idea of ordering breakfast provisions the day before and having the flexibility to prepare them whenever we wanted - the options on offer were extremely extensive and generous. Phil went out of his way to help us plan our excursions and offer advice about local restaurants - nothing was too much trouble. The accommodation was extremely comfortable and had everything we needed. Phil and Kerrie are such lovely genuine people - thank you so much for making our trip to Shark Bay so wonderful. We highly recommend On the Deck@Shark Bay.

Nothing - it was great in every way!

Absolutely loved staying at On The Deck. Phil and Kerrie are wonderful hosts who make this feel like a personable homestay instead of an anonymous few nights in a room. They shared lots of information about the local area, animals and plants. From the deck you see plenty of kangaroos coming out towards sundown, and we even spotted some emus in the morning! We were in the yellow room upstairs, with the kitchen and jacuzzi right next to us. The bed and pillows were beyond comfortable and everything cleaned to a tee. This was by far the most luxurious accommodation of our trip on the West Coast. I think the breakfast is highly undersold - we got an entire sheet to fill out for our breakfast items. We received a basket full of bread, butter, honey, jam, eggs, granola, beans, sausage and juice. Milk was already provided in the room's fridge. At night we saw the milky way from the jacuzzi, during the day we had a full view of Francois Peron National Park. Do yourself a favour and stay here, you will not regret it.

We loved the location right at the national park. We saw kangaroos every day as they came in to get some water and carrots from the owners. Phil and Kerrie and exceptionally nice people and are very helpful. The room was beautiful with a great view. Cooking our own brekkie was a great way of experiencing the deck, the view and make your own breakfast in your own way. We loved it! We would absolutely recommend this place. We will be back! Thank you Phil and Kerrie!

The house is new, modern and extremely comfortable. The location is great because it’s an easy 5 minute walk to the main drag of Denham. We loved watching the kangaroos come to the property everyday for dinner. Phil and Kerry were wonderful hosts. They offered a lot of good information on what to visit and interesting info on Aussie customs. We really enjoyed being on the deck with them, having a drink and watching the colors come up after the sun went down.

Our hosts could not have been more friendly and welcoming. The slightly unusual "cook your own" breakfast arrangements turned out to have been well thought through and eminently suitable to the circumstances of Denham where many of the trips, for instance to Monkey Mia, require you to be up and away early in the morning. Drinks on the deck in the evenings were a particularly enjoyable feature which included feeding the local kangaroos and emus!

This place is as good as it gets. Extremely comfortable, modern, great hosts and a feeling of spaciousness. The rooms are a good size but on top of that there is a huge deck which houses a spa, big outdoor dining table for eating at after cooking on a superb outdoor BBQ set up which has everything on hand. The bit that steals the show is the owners feeding a bunch of kangaroos every night at dusk (8-10 when we were there) and the emus which might happen to wander past - not quite as regular as the kangaroo families. Added to all this, its on the edge of the national park, you can see forever and the sunsets are stunning. This place is a must if you are in the area.

Not one thing

Our mistake was only having 2 nights in this fabulous accommodation. Phil and Kerrie, the hosts, were welcoming, helpful and nothing was too much trouble. Everything was absolutely spotless. Our room was comfortable and well equipped. We had use of a lovely outdoor kitchen, which we used both nights. When travelling away from home for several weeks it is pleasant not have to go out to eat, and this place is certainly where you want to stay in. We watched some fabulous sunsets whilst Phil and Kerrie fed the wild kangaroos who are regular visitors. We also saw an emu with 7 chicks come to take advantage of the water they supply for the local wildlife. Each evening Kerrie supplied us with a basket with breakfast items for the following day which we chose the previous evening. This was more than plentiful. We could cook our breakfast at our convenience, or just have cereal, toast etc. We also had use of their large jacuzzi bath on the deck whilst watching the sunset with a drink! We are very frequent travellers and used to all sort of hotels, motels, resorts and B&Bs. On the Deck will certainly be remembered as one of our favourites.

We stayed at Kerrie's and Phil's place for 6 nights and have been quite lucky to get the blueroom on the first floor with a veranda a nice view on the Peron National Park. The rooms are clean and very functional, i.e. everything that is necessary is available (A/C, kitchenette, WIFI, document box, USB chargers, breakfast, etc.). In the afternoons, when the wildlife from the park (incl. emus and different types of kangaroos) come out of for a drink at the water source that is installed at the B&B, the guest are invited to take a look and feed the animals with carrots which the owners provide. Both are very kind and lovely people who are always up for a chat and to provide guidance what to do when in Shark Bay. Also it is great to see that sustainability has been considered when the place was designed. There is a PV system installed on the roof and there even is a worm farm for certain types of kitchen waste. We recommend a stay in this accomodation more than other places in Denham and will definitely book it again when we happen to be back to Shark Bay.

Enjoyed our stay at On The Deck. Rooms very comfortable and nicely furnished. Hosts very friendly and welcoming and very happy to have a chat. The Deck is a beautiful spot with great views over the Bay as well as Francois Peron National Park. It is also very quiet and peaceful. Has pretty much everything you need for a few days in Shark Bay. The BBQ facilities on the deck were excellent and a great spot to have dinner in the evening and look out over the view.

Nothing to dislike
