SalSails Ningaloo Reef - Western Australia
Stretching 280 kms along Western Australia's harsh and arid coast, the Ningaloo Reef is an extraordinary yet strangely unkno wn jewel in Australia 's natural heritage.
Hidden in the dunes overlooking pristine beaches and coral reefs, Sal Salis Ningaloo Reef is an exclusive bush camp that exudes ‘Wild Bush Luxury ' and brings a touch of style to a remote region.
Accommodation is in five free standing, spacious tents on raised platforms. Each has an en suite bathroom with a natureloo (marketing jargon for state of the art composting loos!) and a solar hot water shower. Designed to blend with the dunes and low lying coastal scrub, the tents have overhead fans and comfortable beds with fabulous views of the Indian Ocean.
The social heart of the camp is raised above the sand and coastal scrub and it too has views of the reef and the breakers beyond. A bar and open lounge area with a small reference library provides a great spot to sit out the heat of day.
In the cool of the evening kangaroos and wallaroos appear from the bush for their evening graze. Guests may help themselves to a selection of beverages from the open bar and perhaps watch the resident chef as she prepares contemporary Australian cuisine with hints of native produce. Dinner is shared with other guests, your guides and hosts against a back-drop of rich orange sunsets.
Activities included in your stay are guided sea kayaking and snorkelling trips on the Reef, wildlife viewing and guided gorge walks in the Cape Range National Park as well as a boat trip on nearby Yardie Creek.
