Potshot Hotel Resort

I stayed in a private room and a dorm. The private room was clean and spacious. Nothing bad to say about it. The common areas are nice as well. People at reception are nice.

The dorm was disgusting. I don’t think it gets cleaned often. Don’t know if the cleaning person is to blame though. Very difficult to clean when people are living there and there stuff is literally everywhere. I don’t think they should allow people to live there. It makes it really uncomfortable for visitors. The people were smoking weed non stop in front of the door so the entire room smelled like it. When i went to reception to mention this they didn’t seem to really care. Nothing was done about this.

This is a nicely laid out resort with lots of space and loads of options across various accommodations. Our room was spacious and comfortable, quiet and nicely appointed for what we required.

Wifi is only available in the common and bar areas. In this day and age this is poor and uncommon. I get that this is a ploy to make guests to stay within the resort to eat and drink etc but when your business survives on tourists and people who are away from home, wifi should be readily available. If you provide a good service in your restaurant/bar (which Pot Shot certainly does) the guests will stay.

The hostel is in a great spot in town with most things being a 20 minute walk away. Having the pub, pool and restaurant within the precinct was a great way to socialise with others and get to know the area. The rooms were big with plenty of room to have everyone's bags without overcrowding. Having a fridge in the room was great to keep food close by. The hostel is also super close to both IGAs which made it easy to pick up supplies. The bathroom was cleaned daily which was great when each dorm gets its own bathroom.

The kitchen is in need of an upgrade. The intensity of the gas burners was pretty poor and 4 gas plates were down, which mean meal times were crowded. The check out time is also a bit early, would love it if it could be 10am. Floors in dorms could be kept cleaner - the layer of dust and dirt on the ground was constant.

Bit pricey but so was literally everything in Exmouth. Definitely been taking feedback on board based on past reviews. (Standard king) Room had a microwave, mini fridge,Tv, kettle, cutlery, some teatowels, TP, 2 towels, small dining table, coffee, tea, soap, shampoo and conditioner. Parking everywhere for those who have a car. Oh and they had beach towels for use too. Building with the standard king rooms best for peace and quiet. If you stood outside the bar was so noisy even though it was 100m away, , if you are happy to walk for 10minutes there were plenty of restaurants/food options. pools were tiny compared to photos but not many people used them. It was close to IGA which was very useful and had bars/restaurants adjoined. Very easy access for the tours.

It was far from the town beach. Pizzas at restaurant were too expensive to bother ordering. I'm not paying $30 for a basic pizza. The surrounding area was pretty dusty.

The resort is within walking distance of the shopping centre, many of the cafes, restaurants - others are a 3 to 4km round trip walks. If you didnt have a car you could walk to most places in town but you would need a car or a transport to get to the attractions. Room was spacious, bed was comfortable. Pool and restaurants and liquor store all on site

Think the bed needs to be moved occasionally to sweep and clean underneath Would have been great to have a breakfast menu and a small clothes airer to dry your towels and bather on as I think many people will be using those regularly during the stay

Rather than a single pokey room I was lucky enough to have a family room. Although expensive to me it was comparable to similar properties in the area. It wasn’t tooooo far from the beach, very handy for the shops and plenty of places to eat nearby. I ate there twice and food was lovely, huge portions on the chicken parmigiana all in all a good stay. other than whale sharks and humpback whales I knew very little about the area. The staff were patient when I asked what might have seemed to be silly questions

transplant it to be a little nearer to town beach

I originally booked a private room with shared bathroom in the Ningaloo Caravan Park and Holiday Resort. However, I ended up extending my stay and as that resort was already sold out for my additional days, I booked two nights in the Potshot hotel. In the end, I much preferred my stay in the Potshot hotel. Even though I booked a room with shared bathroom, my room actually had a private bathroom. The room was nice and the bed was comfortable. For a single traveller, the Potshot hotel is a much more interesting place to stay.

The location was great, the food was good and the rooms were really good value. I would recommend Potshot. The staff were really good and professional. The staff who sent my keys back to the UK were superb. Fixing the bathroom shower was great.

The wifi wasnt good enough. The wifi wasn't in the rooms and only in location. The other thing we didn't like was that the side door was closed at the bar to outside the site at 9.30pm the bar closes early at time.

Comfortable bed; good in-room amenities; lovely restaurant/staff/food

Shower wasn't the best....; the initial view upon arrival i.e. the mud bath around the backpackers section - made us initially regret the reservation until we worked out we weren't subject to this - guess works are in progress but first impressions count; whilst cooking you're own steak in the restaurant was a novel and enjoyable experience, I would recommend an additional plate on which the salad and chips are placed, allowing patrons to also place their steak upon when having reached the desired cook. This is especially important for blue or rare lovers whose meat will otherwise keep cooking whilst on the heated rock

Location is great. Services and amenities within walking distance. Beds are quite comfortable. Decent size rooms.

No storage lockers in the room for valuables. Could improve by adding small shelf for top bunk users to store items during the night e.g water bottle, phone that otherwise can’t be reached from the floor. To note: I opted for the top bunk as I am too tall to fit on the bottom due to single bed frame. King singles would be even better.
