Have you booked accommodation?
We use Booking.com for most accommodation bookings as they offer free cancellation on many properties and have a price match guarantee. We book through Stayz (part of VRBO) for private accommodation as we find it is often cheaper than Airbnb.
Tip: Accommodation gets booked quickly, especially during the WA school holidays. To avoid disappointment, book early.
As we visited Exmouth during the July school holidays and only wanted to stay a few days, we had a limited choice of accommodation. We stayed in a villa near the marina. It was expensive for what it is and not very clean. Therefore, I will not be recommending staying there. Instead, all these other properties have excellent reviews.
Exmouth Luxury Accommodation
Booking.com has some great luxury accommodation in Exmouth, including private properties on Madafarri Drive, Corella Court, and Kestral Place.

Unique Exmouth Accommodation
Bullara Station Stay
Burkett Road
For a unique outback experience, stay on this working cattle farm located 25 km from the Exmouth Gulf coast. It’s an excellent option if you want to base yourself between Coral Bay and Exmouth.
Their property caters to singles, families, large groups, and pets, whether you camp or stay in the lodge or cottages.
After an adventurous day out, come back and laze in a hammock before unwinding around the fire pit in the evening.
Check the Bullara Station website for opening times, as they usually only take bookings from April to October.
TIP: Peak season in Exmouth (usually March to November) will see Exmouth accommodation at capacity. Most accommodation is booked up at least a year in advance, especially during school holidays. Therefore, I recommend booking as soon as possible.
Due to the total solar eclipse on the 20th April 2023, some Exmouth accommodation have a minimum stay of a week.
