In all honesty this is probably a three to three and a half motel but the location and great communal kitchen bumps it up to four. Look, if you are expecting a luxury getaway with a super comfortable bed, modern room facilities and daily cleaning you will have to look elsewhere and pay $300 extra a night but if you want a comfortable room in a great position then this ticks the boxes. At the end of the day if you visit the amazing Ningaloo Reef and want to spend the day in your room you've probably gone to the wrong place and might want to reconsider your travel plans. However if you just want somewhere to rest your weary head after a busy day in a bucket list location, give Ningaloo Lodge some thought.

This is a place with a difference and could almost be classed as a backpackers with your own room. It has great large clean share facilities and a nice outdoor setting. The rooms are very small and the walls are thin so you can hear others talking, showering etc. Friendly and efficient staff. We have stayed in so many places and really don’t think the price is fair for what your getting. We paid for a standard room off peak and expected a lot more for what we paid.

More like a backpackers. Rooms small, beds small and well worn, linen thread bare. Walls thin so can hear everyone’s conversations. Female manager rude and unhelpful. Games room and communal area clean. Rooms not serviced regularly. Pros: convenient location. Won’t be back.
