    Our hosts could not have been more friendly and welcoming. The slightly unusual "cook your own" breakfast arrangements turned out to have been well thought through and eminently suitable to the circumstances of Denham where many of the trips, for instance to Monkey Mia, require you to be up and away early in the morning. Drinks on the deck in the evenings were a particularly enjoyable feature which included feeding the local kangaroos and emus!

    It was the most expensive place I stayed and a little further out of town than I had anticipated.

    Really clean and had great views from the deck. There was a hot tub, which I didn’t use, and the cooking facilities looked great, although I didn’t use them either. Loved the evening kangaroo feed as well!

    We were very pleasantly surprised with the hospitality and information provided by Phil and Kerry! The location of this lovely B&B is right on the edge of the National Park with Emus and Kangaroos visiting every evening. We felt spoiled with the well appointed premises with ice machine, BBQ and even an abundance of fresh herbs to spice up our breakfast. Definitely not to be missed when passing through Denham!

    Nothing...

    This is an exceptional B&B and is result of the design, layout and facilities in the place but mostly down to Phil and Kerrie the hosts. We stayed here in 2019 and had such a great time that we said if we're ever back in WA we must stay at Phil and Kerrie's place - we had to wait four years... What makes an exceptional B&B experience is usually down to the hosts, and this place is top notch... Phil was a mine of information on the wildlife, things to do around Shark Bay and beyond. I would absolutely recommend this place and Denham is a much better place to stay rather than Monkey Mia resort (25 mins away) as there are more eating, sightseeing and places to go... the Visitor Centre museum with 3D film on the sinking of the HMAS Sydney is well worth a visit. We stayed 3 nights.... just wish it was longer.

    Wonderful hosts, made us very welcome and gave us a lot of information on the area. Lovely breakfast, great variety to choose from. Highlight was the kangaroos that come each evening to be fed and waterered. Phil and Kerrie are very special people, very caring about the conservation of the wildlife. Thanks for making our stay so special.

    Absolutely loved staying at On The Deck. Phil and Kerrie are wonderful hosts who make this feel like a personable homestay instead of an anonymous few nights in a room. They shared lots of information about the local area, animals and plants. From the deck you see plenty of kangaroos coming out towards sundown, and we even spotted some emus in the morning! We were in the yellow room upstairs, with the kitchen and jacuzzi right next to us. The bed and pillows were beyond comfortable and everything cleaned to a tee. This was by far the most luxurious accommodation of our trip on the West Coast. I think the breakfast is highly undersold - we got an entire sheet to fill out for our breakfast items. We received a basket full of bread, butter, honey, jam, eggs, granola, beans, sausage and juice. Milk was already provided in the room's fridge. At night we saw the milky way from the jacuzzi, during the day we had a full view of Francois Peron National Park. Do yourself a favour and stay here, you will not regret it.

    Although it’s a bit pricey we regret not staying a few nights longer.

    Location is fabulous, the building is fun to look at, the room we stayed in is great (you’d need to cook outside) and the surrounding landscape is my favourite type of wilderness. Phil and Kerrie are very cordial and helpful. Breakfast service is a must.
