Self Drive Western Australia
Click on the links below to discover the resources we’ve put together for you with a few of our recommendations for driving holidays up and down the WA coast between Perth – Ningaloo – Broome. Western Australia offers an incredibly beautiful backdrop for an outback road trip, however distances can be long between points of interest, so please ensure you allow plenty of time to travel safely. Note also that not all car hire companies allow one-way rentals within Western Australia.
Karijini National Park: Self Drive 640km from Exmouth. Gorges of ancient rock and cool swimming holes and showering waterfalls make Karijini National Park one of Australia’s most dramatic and spectacular destinations.
Ningaloo – Perth: Travel the breathtaking Coral Coast, exploring natural wonders including Francois Peron (Shark Bay), Kalbarri and Nambung (The Pinnacles) National Parks. We provide you with details of the very best spots to visit along the way.
Ningaloo – Broome: Your journey takes you through the stunning Pilbara region, known for its rich iron ore deposits and dramatic scenery, on your way to the white sandy beaches of the romatic pearling town of Broome.
Coral Bay Accommodation
Accommodation in Coral Bay features a 2.5 star motel style resort, 2 caravan parks and some holiday houses. The capacity of the town is very limited compared to other tourist destinations and as a result, during peak tourist seasons accommodation can be fully booked. We encourage you to plan well in advance, please Contact Us if you require assistance.
Current options range from budget to 3 star. The Ningaloo Reef Resort is currently undergoing redevelopment which will provide some more luxurious accommodation options in the future.
Exmouth Accommodation
A variety of accommodation is available in and around Exmouth, ranging from basic campsites in the Cape Range National Park, caravan parks, hostels, motels, self-contained units, AirBnB, resorts and luxury eco-camping. There are a greater number of options in Exmouth compared to Coral Bay, although accommodation can still be booked out during peak periods, so we recommend securing accommodation well in advance. Please note that the town site is some 40-50km away from the commonly visited reef sites for snorkeling, so if you’d like to visit then factor in a hire car or a day safari tour.
