Basic Accommodation Only
I was in town on business for two days but found the room not very good to work in with only a coffee table to work on from a couch. There was no chairs in the room. The position of the couch meant you could not sit on it and watch the TV. The only way to watch the TV was to sit on the bed which is not the most comfortable way to relax and watch TV if you like sitting up to watch it. The bathroom had all the usual fitting plus a very large SPA which is fine if that is your thing. Mine is solely showers but make sure you bring your own soaps. The towels were like hessian sacks. While cutlery was supplied it clearly was collected from bits and pieces. The room does have a microwave and bar fridge but no table to eat off unless you consider your knees a table. The washing up had to be done in a bowl as there was no sink. They do provide a BBQ with the unit which is OK but cutting a piece of cooked steak on a plate on your knees is a challenge. Look out they demand a $500 holding deposit which they claim they will refund 7-10 days after your visit. There was no WI-FI offered nor available. I would not bother staying here again.

Thanks Cyril, we really appreciate your feedback. We apologise that you didn't feel comfortable in the villa. We feel we are very open about the facilities available in the one bedroom studio apartment and apologise if you missed it in the room description. If you had let us know during your stay we may have been able to make amendments to make you more comfortable. Regarding the security deposit, this is a fairly standard requirement for accommodation. In the case of a hotel when you check in a record of you card is taken and in most cases processed. Unfortunately as we do not have a check in counter we do this in line with the conditions on the Authority Form that you completed. The deposit held is in fact a figure up to $500 and in this case was only $200. Unfortunately as we are located very regionally internet has been an ongoing issue as they has been insufficient ports at the exchange to service local residents and service drop outs were common. With the NBN roll out we now have better infrastructure that we are working with to be able to provide this service to our guests. In the meantime we do actively encourage all of our guest to "Switch Off" and enjoy the local attractions and activities. We hope otherwise you enjoyed your stay and come back next time with some time to see what we have to offer.

A getaway in Exmouth
It was a bit disappointing, the positioning of our Villa - it was really close to the main road (Murat) and lots of noisy traffic - also very open, no privacy when sitting outside to try and enjoy a bit of peace and quiet :( or to cook a bbq. Perhaps a bit of a fence or some other type of screen should be put up, to block the outside area from the road a bit more ?? The property itself was quite nice inside, however it did look quite "tired". It was neat and tidy, but far from "perfect" !!! the cushions on the two settees were stained and were very worn. The vertical blinds were missing quite a lot of blinds, so it was not possible to even close it fully at night, again, no privacy - we could just wave to people walking past outside on the street !! There was also a pretty bad sewerage smell in the bathroom, very unpleasant. We had to run the two exhaust fans the whole time we were there, to try and get rid of the smell ...

Reasonable for around here?
Self contained with decent amenities. Main bed was comfortable. Kitchen cleanliness is dependant upon previous occupiers so we washed everything before using because it was visibly dirty. TV had a DVD player which was great as we had brought some with us. Lounge n furniture was all pretty tired but OK. Wasn't very impressed to receive email day before we left telling us to sweep floors, empty bins and put bin on verge?!

Spacious home and well placed in town.
Spacious, clean and good amenities in the villa house. Pool in the compound small, uninteresting and could be improved with a slide even, to be more inviting after a long day out. Very exciting to have the resident emus walking around! All in, a pleasant place to stay and to chill out.

Disappointing
Disappointed that we paid $553 for 3 nights but the real estate agent managing the property only expected $470 from us. Looks like someone is getting large profits, to next time I will go direct to the local agents

Great
Great place the Osprey Holiday Units in Exmouth. Heaps of room for large families. Close to town centre. Nice clean pool. Clean outdoor area with BBQ. Heaps of parking for a boat. Just a couple of cockroaches would come out at night time.

Thanks Lisa for your feedback, great to hear you had a great time. We do spray and bait the units for the bugglies however they are in abundance at the moment throughout town. Look forward to welcoming you back next time.

Nice place
Good location, has all the basics that you need. The units are probably in need of some upgrading in furnishings and lighting as they seem a little dated but it was comfortable and met our needs. Emus walking through the village was a plus for our daughter.

Perfect family holiday accommodation.
If you are after self contained accomodation in Exmouth for a larger group / family, this is as close to perfect as it gets. Spacious, comfortable and close to the town centre. The kitchen was really well equipped and the bedrooms very comfortable. The only thing that is missing that would make this as good as it gets was access to wifi.
Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2017
Thanks Jason, we really hope you enjoyed your stay in our little piece of paradise. WIFI is one of those things we do all expect now. Unfortunately, with the roll out of the NBN, there are no scheduled upgrades planned to the existing network up here. As such there are no available ports at the exchange for us to arrange WIFI. You may have seen reports recently about rural internet and yes it is unbelievable, however there are permanent residents in town that are unable to access internet other than through a mobile device. We apologise for the inconvenience however we are a little stuck until the NBN arrives sometime next year. Everyone in town is looking forward to this upgrade as we currently only have access to ADSL 1 and survival on 1MBPS download speed is challenging at the best of time. We look forward to welcoming you back and hope you had a safe trip home.

Swim with the sharks.
Exmouth is famous for the whale sharks but there are also wonderful beaches to explore and swimming/ snorkelling the Ningaloo Reef is popular.

Great stay!
We stayed in a 3 bedroom apartment and were very impressed. The kitchen was really well equipped. They even had some laundry powder for the washing machine. The bed was extremely comfy with nice linen and towels. The spa was a bonus and the extra bathroom outside was a great idea for beach goers. Your own bbq, outdoor setting and washing line was good too! Would definitely stay at Osprey Village again!
