Shark Bay Holiday Cottages has been a beloved part of Denham’s history since the early 1960s — around the same time the coastal highway was sealed and Shark Bay first became accessible to adventurous travellers. We're proud to be one of the original holiday spots in the region, offering guests a classic coastal WA experience.
If you’re from Western Australia, chances are your parents or grandparents have fond memories of holidaying here. In fact, many of our guests have been returning to Shark Bay Holiday Cottages for over 40 years — a testament to the timeless charm of this special place.
Today, Shark Bay still holds onto its old fishing town appeal, where laid-back days on the water roll into warm, breezy evenings. It’s no surprise that couples, families, and even solo travellers are rediscovering the natural beauty and relaxed lifestyle that once only locals knew about.
Whether you’re looking for a traditional beachfront cottage or a convenient caravan bay, our range of accommodation options puts you just steps from the sand and sea. Take a look at our Guest Facilities to see what awaits, and check out our Park Map to get a feel for the layout of the grounds.

Pet Friendly
Located just steps from the beach, jetty and boat ramp, Shark Bay Holiday Cottages is the ultimate rest stop for a fishing trip. There is plenty of parking for your car and boat for each cottage and caravan bay.

Explore the Wonders of Shark Bay
Staying at Shark Bay Holiday Cottages puts you right in the heart of one of Western Australia’s most extraordinary natural regions. With World Heritage-listed landscapes, crystal-clear waters, and a laid-back coastal vibe, Shark Bay offers a truly unforgettable holiday experience — and it all starts right outside your cottage door.
You’re just a short drive from iconic destinations like Monkey Mia, where you can watch wild dolphins come to shore, or the ancient Hamelin Pool stromatolites, some of the oldest living fossils on Earth. For something truly unique, visit Shell Beach, a dazzling stretch of shoreline made entirely of tiny white shells.
If you’re into adventure, Shark Bay won’t disappoint. Join a local fishing charter, head out on a 4WD tour, go kayaking through calm waters, or spot dugongs and sea turtles from the cliffs of Eagle Bluff. There's something for every pace — from relaxed sightseeing to full-day explorations.
