On the Deck @ Shark Bay

Everything about On The Deck @ Sharks Bay was excellent. Our accommodation was spacious, extremely clean and comfortable. It came with a superlative outside under cover totally equipped kitchen and eating area featuring dishwasher, BBQ, fridge etc. To describe Phil and Kerrie as the perfect hosts is no exaggeration. We were invited to join them for sunset drinks while also enjoying the antics of the kangaroos and emus who descended for their dusk dining experience. A highlight for us was a day's off roading through the national park in Phil's Wrangler Jeep. So cool! A highly recommended adventure.

On the Deck @ Shark Bay provides splendid accommodation! We enjoyed three nights in the 'blue room' which was spacious, comfortable, immaculate and very peaceful with a private balcony. Phil and Kerrie are wonderful hosts - so welcoming and kind. Phil was very helpful assisting us with our scheduled trips out and with restaurant recommendations - nothing was too much trouble. Breakfast provisions were extensive and very generous. We really appreciated the routine of ordering provisions the day before and being able to prepare them in our own time - there is a full outdoor kitchen in which to do so. Keen walkers we found the location of the property perfect for a short walk into town in the evenings - we dined two nights at The Old Pearler (not to be missed it's great!). Roos regularly come down in the evening for snacks at sunset - just magical. We loved the sense of community in Shark Bay - everyone was so lovely and friendly. All in all a wonderful trip - a big thank you to Phil and Kerrie for making it so.

Phil and Kerrie were the best of hosts - they were friendly and welcoming and made our stay in Denham all the more special. The accommodation was clean and comfortable, with a great eye for detail, and with the outside sofa, kitchen and spa, it was all very spacious. We felt very at home there and were sad to leave. The sunsets from the Deck were amazing - as was Phil’s gin!

As many other reviewers have said, this is a fantastic place to stay. From the arrangements prior to arrival right through to check-out, everything was perfect. We stayed for two nights in the blue room. The room was exceptionally comfortable, very well equipped and spotlessly clean. The shared cooking area is also great with just about everything you could need (even the bbq is cleaned for you 😀 unlike anywhere else we have stayed). The breakfast hamper goes beyond anything you could wish for and includes cereals, bread, bacon, sausage, eggs, beans etc, plus juices. Lovely to be able to cook it and sit outside to eat with a view of the bush and the sea beyond. Finally, but most importantly, Phil and Kerrie were amazing hosts - ensuring everything was perfect throughout. Phil gave us great information on the area and other places we were due to visit as part of our trip, helped us light the bbq and, of course, is the person who then cleans it (so that we don’t have to). Phil and Kerrie also take care of the local wildlife with water (20+ months of drought make this essential) so emus and kangaroos visit each evening. Sharing this time with them each day is very special and we would not have missed it for anything. We highly recommend On the Deck to anyone looking to stay in Denham, it’s THE best place to stay 😀

This was by far the most amazing place we have stayed on our whole trip around Australia! The location is absolutely stunning and Phil & Kerrie were so welcoming and friendly, we didn’t want to leave! Everything was perfect, can’t recommend highly enough!!

We spent 4 nights here as a base for exploring Shark Bay. This fabulous B&B is on the edge of Denham, overlooking the National Park. It's around a 3 minute drive or a 15 minute walk into the centre of Denham. We booked the yellow room, which had the large decked area outside with the jacuzzi, the big table and communal cooking facilities. We were the only guests at the time, so we had this area to ourselves. The room was spacious with a walk in wardrobe, a large comfortable bed, air-conditioning and tea and coffee making facilities. The bathroom had a walk in shower. Phil and Kerrie made us very welcome, they were great hosts. They provide a list of breakfast options the day before. They hand over your selection that evening. There's a good choice of bread, fruit, cereal as well as eggs and bacon which you cook in the communal area. The system works very well. We had a barbecue while we were there, Phil cleans it the next morning. Kangaroos come down in the evenings, we saw a couple of emus too. All in all, we couldn't have been happier with our choice of accommodation in Denham.

The hosts were friendly and helpful. The room was comfortable and clean. Breakfast is included, they give you the provisions the night before and you make it yourself when you want. It is a short drive to the town centre (3 minutes). Kangaroos and emus visit at sunset!

We don’t normally stay in B&B accommodation but we were really delighted to have discovered On the Deck. Phil and Kerrie made us very welcome and provided lots of information about the wildlife, much of which could be seen from the Deck, and the local area. Standard of accommodation excellent. Would love to return sometime.

Phil and Kerrie were excellent hosts and made me feel at home. I had an issue with my car and Phil drove me to my tour and fixed the issue. I enjoyed our evening chats with bubbles and the kangaroos. The town is within walking distance the views from the deck are spectacular. The Yellow room had everything I needed and breakfast is provided every morning. If you’re visiting, this is definitely the place to stay.
