Definitely plenty of your own space (between cottages), well laid out and plenty of room on the inside, mildly dated decor, nothing too severe though. The owners also own the motel & bistro (in Hyden) & Caravan park at Wave Rock, speaking of which - reception for the cottages is at the caravan park, don't drive all the way in... More

We stayed in an ultimate lakefront cottage In Wave Rock Resort. The cottage is located next to a dry salt lake and you pay an exclusive price to look out over this. The cottage was very dark and not very attractive. They allowed our dog to stay, however outside. At the same time they have mice baits which we found... More

It appears that there is common ownership (or at least management) of the motel (in town), the caravan park (near Wave Rock), and the resort (in a dismal swamp). Reviews of the motel were poor, so we opted for the resort. We had to pay the full rate of $165pn even though we only used 1 of the 2 bedrooms,... More

This 'resort' is in the middle of nowhere. We booked for 1 night in the lakeside chalet, as a base to seeing the geographical formations in the area (Wave Rock, Mulkas Cave etc). It is a great location for all that, without having to go into Hyden proper, but because of this, it is isolation at its best. You pick... More

Wave Rock Lakeside Resort is located next to a dry salt lake surrounded by dead trees & the dry cracked dirt of an outback wasteland, the earth poisoned by high salinity. A pretty dramatic place. Adding to the creepiness of the resort, the entire area is considered taboo by Aborigines due to the legend of a man who was a... More

We were staying in Perth for a couple of weeks and decided to also do a couple of Road trips. We had previouslly seen pictures of Wave Rock and had thought it would be nice to visit it if we could. We had looked at the various accommodation on offer in and around Hyden and picked the Wave Rock Lakeside... More

I took a 14yo boy and my 11yo nephew on an overnight roadtrip fromPerth to see Wave Rock. On the way we stopped at Brookton for lunch - great homecooked pies at the Deli and the boys had fun clambering around the old farm equipment and a combine harvester at the park in the centre of town. The next stop... More

We stayed 2 nighs here and that was fine. The units are large but located next to nothing. But the reason for coming here is to see the wave rock and that is just amazing. We walked the rock a couple of times and went to the small zoo and hippos yawn. Driving from Albany and then back to Perth... More

Stayed at the wave rock resort for 2 nights. Comprises 14 chalets near a lake. Unfortunately nobody told us the lake dries up in summer (der), so it was a chalet next to a white gypsum lake bed, surrounded by scorched bush that resembled a post-nuclear landscape. Some would call it unspoilt, but after a day the novelty wore off.... More
