Beachfront Accommodations

Mantarays Ningaloo Beach Resort offers 68 rooms, including standard rooms, 1-bedroom apartments, and 2-bedroom beachfront bungalows. All units feature stainless steel appliances, king-size beds, air conditioning, and private balconies. The 2-bedroom bungalows include an outdoor spa bath and ocean views. Rooms have high ceilings, cool floor tiles, and earthy tones inspired by the Ningaloo surroundings.

Dining with Ocean Views

Mantaray's Restaurant serves modern brasserie-style dishes like confit duck leg and herb-crusted lamb rump, with a focus on local seafood. The Beach Lounge & Bar offers cocktails, coffee, and snacks, open daily from noon until late. Breakfast includes bircher muesli, fresh fruit, pastries, and hot dishes. Guests can dine while overlooking the Exmouth Gulf and pool.

Reef and Land Adventures

The resort is steps from Sunrise Beach and the Ningaloo Reef, where guests can snorkel with whale sharks, humpback whales, or fish for red emperor. Cape Range National Park and Nyinggulara National Park are nearby for hiking and wildlife spotting. The resort has a gym, resort-style pool, and tour desk for booking excursions like diving and scenic flights.

Gateway to Ningaloo

Located 5km from Exmouth town center and 35km from Learmonth Airport, the resort is the only one on Sunrise Beach. Nearby landmarks include Town Beach (0.5km), Ningaloo Aquarium (2.5km), and Marina Quays (0.5km). A free shuttle runs to Exmouth, known for its fishing, unspoiled beaches, and diverse restaurants.

Events and Guest Services

The resort hosts weddings and conferences, with meeting spaces for 10-100 guests. Services include a guest desk, laundry, free parking, and daily room service. Families can use the children's pool, while business travelers access Wi-Fi and versatile event catering. Staff assist with tours, from fishing charters to wildlife encounters.

“This beachfront resort strikes me as a solid choice for families seeking adventure, particularly given its direct access to Ningaloo Reef. I especially note the award-winning restaurant, although some dining experiences seem inconsistent, and the spacious apartments with balconies. Its prime location near Cape Range National Park further enriches its appeal, making it ideal for those eager to explore the natural surroundings.”

Acceptable Stay with Some Issues

fast door improper tv position
The room was quite big and spacious, which I found amazing.
The door swung back too fast and kept hitting the fridge. I found that annoying. The TV was in front of the main bedroom with no proper doors. I changed bedrooms because the TV kept me awake.
