The Place
On the edge of
Ningaloo.
A five-hectare Crown lease site on the edge of the proposed Exmouth Gulf Marine Park — directly adjacent Murdoch Park Golf Course and within proximity to the Ningaloo Coast (Nyinggulu) World Heritage Area.
The project integrates regenerative landscape, thermally efficient building design and socially inclusive programming — a benchmark model for responsible tourism in Western Australia.
The Resort
Low-impact luxury,
purposefully intimate.
With just nine high-end suites for up to 24 in-house guests — and 120 day guests at a time — Hotel Sebatikel is designed for a scale of experience usually reserved for far larger properties.
Facilities
Eight signature experiences.
Troba
By night the signature dining room; by day the Club Lounge for Noteholders and members.
DBL TRPL®
A masterfully contoured single green with nine bespoke tee boxes. Noteholders, members and in-house guests only.
Court Club
Pickleball court and pool club by reservation only — priority access for Noteholders.
The Walter
A private and intimate speakeasy.
Wellness Pavilion
Infrared sauna, mineral plunges, reformer Pilates and fitness centre — adults only, 90-minute private access.
SPA at Sebatikel
A five-hour signature ritual. Two guests per day, once per day.
Pool + Outdoor Bar
Resort mineral pool and adjacent outdoor bar pavilion.
Kitchen Garden
Biodynamic and regenerative — aligned with the Indigenous seasonal calendar.
Why this place
“We stumbled into this,
and yet it felt entirely
meant to be.”
When we first discovered the site — a five-hectare stretch of untouched Crown land on the edge of Exmouth Gulf — we both felt it immediately. This was it.
What we didn’t know then was just how deeply we were already connected to it. The site sits alongside Murdoch Park Golf Course — named after Colonel J.K. Murdoch, one of the first two Civil Commissioners of Exmouth. And Colonel Murdoch, as fate would have it, was the late father of Phil’s Aunty Margaret.
