Mantarays Ningaloo Beach Resort

If you're headed to WA, you're going to want to put Ningaloo Reef on your list of things to do. This resort is the only one of its kind in this neck of the woods, and is perfect for those who want to snorkel in one of the world's wildest and most magnificent places – but without having to rough it accommodation-wise. Expect resort-style accommodation, a kid's swimming area, an adult's pool, direct beach access, an onsite restaurant and bar, and a free shuttle bus into town. Getting to see the sunrise over the ocean from your bedroom window is a pretty fantastic highlight too.
