My husband and I stayed at the Jurien Bay Motel Apartments for a couple of nights in October 2023. We had a one-bedroom apartment upstairs, with a king size bed and balcony off the bedroom, looking out towards the coast. Having said that we hoped to arrive before reception closed at 4pm, it became apparent that we wouldn’t be there in time, so stopped en route and called the motel. The receptionist told us that this was not a problem and explained the system for after hours check in, which then worked well for us. Tea bags and milk had been left inside the apartment so we were able to enjoy a cuppa on arrival, before going to the local supermarket to stock up on provisions. Our satnav took us into the car park at the back of the complex and first impressions were not good as building work had yet to be completed, and the area was a bit of a building site, but once inside the apartment it was a different matter. It was very clean, comfortable and had everything we needed – apart from laundry facilities, which has been commented on in earlier reviews. This facility would definitely have been useful. We enjoyed having lunch and breakfasts on the balcony which was equipped with a couple of chairs and a small table. There is a take away Fish and Chip shop just around the corner from the apartment, (which we would recommend) and the supermarket is only a block away. Lesueur National Park is well worth a visit, and the Pinnacles National Park is a must! Both are within reasonable driving distance The road leading to Lesueur National Park is still a dirt/gravel road – rough in places but wide enough to avoid the worst bits if you are in a normal saloon car as we were. The 18km Scenic Drive is now paved. It was hot and humid with flies something of a nuisance (head nets were definitely useful) when we were there, but the landscape, wildlife and flowers made it a worthwhile trip. The Pinnacles National Park is amazing and the fact that you are able to get out of the car on the drive around them, adds to the experience. There is a very good Visitor Centre, with good displays about the National Park and local wildlife, and a nice selection of souvenirs. Nearer to the Jurien Bay apartments we enjoyed Dolphin and bird watching down at the pier at the beach. We would recommend these apartments to future travellers.
