Welcome to Onslow
Onslow sits on Australia's remote northwest coast, where the Exmouth Gulf meets wide tidal flats and some of the least-visited coastline in the country. You can fish for barramundi, watch whale sharks pass through nearby waters, and explore the Mackerel Islands by boat. Resorts in Onslow give you a comfortable foothold for reaching this raw, sun-bleached stretch of coast without the long daily drives.
How to find the best resort deal in Onslow
The same magic that powers our flight search can also help you hunt down great room rates online. Here are some handy tips to find an ideal stay and save in no time.
Book in advance
The earlier you book, the better off you are. You're more likely to discover a cheaper price on a resort and have more options.
...Or bag a last-minute Onslow resort deal
While prices usually rise closer to your stay, some hotels cut their rates at the last minute to fill empty rooms. This tends to happen more in low season.
Flexible on dates? Say hello to better rates
Cheap resorts in Onslow can be easier to find if your dates are flexible. Play around with different months or seasons, or travel midweek instead of weekends to save money.
Go all-inclusive
If most of your stay will be spent on site, all-inclusive resorts in Onslow are a good option. Meals, drinks and activities are covered by the room rate, which can make it easier to manage your budget. Find out if stays like this are available for your trip.

When to visit Onslow
High and low season in Onslow
The dry season, roughly May through September, is the most comfortable time to visit Onslow. Conditions are warm and settled, making it well suited to outdoor activities, fishing, and exploring the area. Accommodation options in Onslow are limited, so booking ahead during this period is a practical step.
The wet season, from around October to April, brings heat, humidity, and the possibility of cyclones, which can disrupt travel plans and limit access to some outdoor areas. Visitor numbers are lower during this time, and you may find it easier to secure a room. That said, the conditions are not ideal for everyone, and it pays to check weather forecasts before your trip.
Onslow has a small, close-knit community, and local events can be hard to confirm from outside the area. Your best starting point is the Onslow visitor information centre or the Shire of Ashburton tourism resources, which should have current details on any community events or activities happening during your stay.
