The hotel was close to the beach, the restaurant had great food and the rooms were larger than most.

Location is great and staff were lovely. But the hotel is very dated. The outside of the fridge was very dirty - I didn’t complain though as the inside was clean so I suppose that’s what matters. It felt like I paid a lot for something basic - but there aren’t too many accommodation options.

OK but in need of an update.
Hotel is in a good location. Room was spacious but the whole place is in desperate need of a makeover.

Sadly, the whole 4 nights we were there, our beds were never made. After 3 days I had to ask for some clean towels.
The shower around the bottom of the walls to the floor could do with some bleach and a good clean.
Loved the location and meals were awesome

Solo senior, overnight stay after week at Steep Point, departing flight to Perth next day. Twin room, spotless, well appointed, equipped and that used worked well. Staff permitted half hour early check in, which was excellent to have a warm, non salt water shower! Comfortable bed, quiet and efficient aircon in large room, no outside noise. Requested a longer stay in room past normal check out time due to 4.00pm flight departure, this was also granted, which further improved the experience. To management and staff, well done and many thanks. B

We stayed for three nights in an ocean view room. Room has a nice view and is of a good size, bed was comfortable. Denham was very quiet. The resort is of reasonable standard but showing the impact of being close to the sea and a needs a good refurbishment, staff we met were pleasant and helpful. We travelled out to Monkey Mia, about a 25 minute easy drivre, to see the doplhins, the facilities there are amazing.

I stayed here for 4 nights in total, unfortunately it was extremely disappointing.
I had the “Please make up my room” sign on constantly and it was never done. Unless you call pulling up the bed sheets once.
Towels were never changed, no milk replacement, no rubbish remove and no toilet paper, so I ended up using tissues.
