G'day all,
We are just back from a week up mid north of WA and stayed at the
Nanga Bay Caravan Park, on the way to
Denham and
Monkey Mia. Here is the link to the place
Nanga Bay Resort
I should have asked myself why they were the only Caravan Park with vacancies during the WA school holidays, but didn't think about it at the time.
I should just quantify that all of the other facilities about the place were good, but the
toilets and showers were an absolute disgrace. As I said, we stayed for 7 nights and the
toilets and showers, both mens and womens, were not cleaned once in that 7 days and by the look of them, they hadn't been cleaned in a few weeks prior to that. We tried approaching the caretaker/managers, who up until then had been reasonably pleasant, but they just didn't care. In fact, one guest who complained about the lack of
toilet paper was told that if he didn't like it, he could 'F' off!
2 of the 4 male
toilets were blocked at the end of our stay because there was no
toilet paper and people had started using paper towel. You can't imagine the smell of the place and the ladies were saying it was the nearly the same in their facility.
So, unless you have no other alternative, I would say stay away from the place because the staff do not care about anything that takes them away from sitting in the sun smoking and drinking coffee.
I hope I haven't broken any
forum rule here but if I have, please let me know where I can post this on the site as people need to be aware that this is a place to avoid. The group in our part of the
camp were all of the same opinion as us and my next call will be to the health department. It is no wonder that the tourist booking place in
Denham no longer sends accommodation enquiries towards
Nanga, and haven't for a while now.
It would be okay for a night on the way to somewhere else, but thats about it.
John &
Clare
