We recently stayed at the Monkey Mia Resort for three nights and found it to be a real hidden gem. The dolphin feeding experience was a highlight, and we were lucky enough to see dolphins lingering in the bay on most days. Throughout the day, staff regularly came down to the beach with microphones to explain what was happening, which added a nice educational touch.
We also spotted a leatherback turtle near the pier and were told sightings can occur throughout the day. Emus wandered freely around the resort, which added to the unique atmosphere. The on-site restaurant served solid, good-quality food, and the nearby town of Denham is just a short drive away if you want more dining or supplies.
Our room (7) was well equipped, clean, and had reliable Wi-Fi. It also had a gas BBQ, which we didn’t use but would be great for longer stays. Being right on the beachfront meant we had excellent sunset views each evening.
Overall, there was very little to fault. It’s a bit off the beaten track, but very welcoming and well worth the stopover.
