“Still as good as ever after 13 years!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 January 2012

We stayed at the Sea Breeze right after Axel and family commenced its operation. 13 or so years later my hubby and I stayed there again over the Christmas 2011-2012 holiday. Rooms were very clean, air conditioning super, cooking facilities and good fridge included in our quite large room. Free internet connection was very welcome, also. Pool was very clean. The location is about 5 km out of town and no problem if you have a vehicle (and I understand auto rental is readily available) and a shuttle was provided for our early new years eve dinner in town. The last place we stayed (the Potshot around 3 years ago) was very dirty and run down by comparison and was right in town, hence pretty noisy. Highly recommend the Breeze for a comfortable stay with extremely hospitable hosts!

Room Tip: Sometimes out of town just a little is a good option!

Thx for the great review and sharing your experience. How good was that weather! Thx for choosing us again and I am sad to hear that you had a not so good experience with our competition. It reflects bad on the region and I rather see everyone leaving Exmouth as happy as you! Hopefully I don't have to wait another 13 years to welcome you again! See you soon and hopefully next time you bring the boat!

“"Really helpful and friendly staff"”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 January 2012

We stayed at the Sea Breeze for 4 nights and had a fabulous time exploring the Cape Range National Park and Ningaloo reef. This resort is good value for money in an area which seems to be quite expensive. Our room was very spacious, had a kitchenette and was clean. We especially enjoyed the outdoor eating/BBQ area where we cooked our dinner on a couple of nights. The staff at the resort were extremely helpful in giving advice on trips to take, where to snorkel, what to see etc. They spent lots of time explaining and talking about the area to us which felt really different after spending five nights in a city hotel. We were also able to rent an esky(vital in hot weather to have cold food/drinks as there are no shops in the national park), sun shelter,and snorkelling equipment from the hotel which was really handy.

Thank you for your review and pointing out our Beach Combo Hire. As long as you have snorkel gear, a rashy shirt, sunshelter for sun protection and an esky you are right! We offer this hire service to make it easier and change the ice blocks each morning if needed. Great to hear that you value our prices and service. Hope to welcome you again soon!

“Good base to explore Exmouth”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 January 2012

We have just returned to the UK from Australia. We spent 4 days at the Sea Breeze resort. We had a very enjoyable stay here. As every other review has pointed out, this is a motel on a working naval base and not a 5* resort. Therefore, as long as you know what to expect, this place lives up to its expectations and we actually couldn't have asked for more. The room was large, comfortable, clean and fully equipped. The room was a little musty smelling but it was clean. I take the point about fish being left in the freezer, but it would have been useful to have a small facility in the room to store ice cubes, ice lollies and freezer packs to take with us to the beach. We did make use of the communal one at reception though. The swimming pool was fabulous and suited my children completely! We did use the bbq facility as well on the first evening. It is a great facility, although there are lots of very large ants crawling all over everything and there are flies everywhere when you are trying to cook - that's nature though! As everyone else has stated, the one thing that sets this place apart from others' is the staff themselves who are incredibly helpful and provided lots of information for us. We hired the snorkels, etc there which was very handy and very reasonable. All in all,a very good value for money motel.

Thank you for your very valid review and proper description. I think it is important as you say to set the correct expectation. When I arrived I saw the ants and sprayed them. Minutes later they were gone. I am sorry but our new Maintenance Man was not trained in Pest Control which we did immediately. The flies were pretty bad but only far about 2 weeks then they were gone! As Locuses, Flies and Mosquitoes, they seem to come in waves. Some Air cons has some corrosion in the tray which leads the condensed water outside and this corrosion blocked the outlet. We cleaned and fixed the trays and it is much better. I am not sure if we had our freezer next to the BBQ when you were visiting but we have one big chest freezer set up for people to store their frozen goods there. This has been welcomed as our guests can access their goods 24/7. Thank you for sharing your experience with other travelers and mentioning where we set ourselves apart from the rest.
I agree that we offer great value, service and local knowledge but one big thing too:
as we do not have a restaurant and bar, we want you to enjoy Ningaloo Reef and Cape Range National Park and our beautiful nature. Others like to keep you "in house" to consume in their restaurant and spend heaps at their bars.....
I think we offer what our guests need to have an unforgettable time.
Thanks again and please visit us again soon maybe to swim with the Whale Sharks from April to August!
Kind and sunny regards
Axel

“Great place to stay exploring Australia's North cape”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 January 2012

person found this review helpful

The Resort, placed slightly outside Exmouth, allows good access to the different beaches and snorkeling places at Australia's North Cape. Clean and well furnished rooms give good value for money and can host 3 persons per room which even includes a kitchenette to prepare your own breakfast and dinner, though breakfast as well is served by the Resort - with an excellent cafe latte!

Thank you for writing this nice review and I am sure we will see you again soon. We trialed a fridge freezer unit before buying all units and unfortunately the fishermen kept their bait and fish in the freezer as well as other guests their prawns. You can imagine the faces when we tried to check people into a "fishy" room. So we decided to offer alternative freezer facilities for the fishermen for their bait and fish and for all guests a public freezer in the BBQ area. We also have just got in an ice cream freezer so that guests can purchase ice cream from reception. We also sell bags of Ice for your Esky or drinks.
So when do we see you and your Swiss friends again?
Alles Gute und vielen Dank fuer den netten Kommentar!
Sonnige Gruesse
