Welcome to the Wagoe Chalets Website!

Wagoe Chalets are situated on Wagoe farm which is approximately 570 kilometers north of Perth, Western Australia, and 20 kilometers south of the coastal resort town of Kalbarri.

Wagoe is named after a dingo hunter by the name of Johnny Wagoe.
The farm is used to run cattle and sheep.
In 1996 the "goat" track that led to Wagoe was bitumised all the way to the front gate of Wagoe Farm.
You can now drive a regular vehicle ( non 4wd ) all the way up to the homestead, camping area's and famous chalets.
You will however need a 4wd from this point on to access the fantastic wagoe beach and coastline.

Wagoe Reef has long been legendary amongst beach and reef fishermen for its Tailor and Mulloway. The growing popularity in "Ballooning" off the beach to hook into the Spanish Mackerel and Tuna that frequent out the back reaches has steadily grown over the last few years.

With good deep water directly off Wagoe Beach it is the perfect location for reef fishing.

Wagoe is a fishing mecca of white sandy beaches dotted with dark patches of rock.
Behind are pristine sand dunes where the wind induced ripples in the surface retain their perfect symmetry.
Early morning, or late afternoon when the soft light emphasizes the ripples, is the perfect time for the taking of photographs or video.

Even if fishing is not your passion, stroll along the beach, spend some time observing the marine wildlife, explore the dune systems, or simply sit and admire the views.
Watch the waves crashing into the shores, or witness the day to day ebbs and flows of farm life on Wagoe farm itself.

In 1983 Ted purchased the chalets from the now removed Riverview Caravan park in Kalbarri and, piece by piece, he transported them on the back of his trusty old Toyota Hilux and trucked the lot back to Wagoe Farm to reassemble them where they stand today.
At that time there were no good roads into the area and no power for the tools needed to put the chalets back together again.
Ted relied on portable generators for all power requirements.

Easter time 1983 Ted and Jenny hired a large generator to power the then 5 chalets fridges and lighting. The chalets proved so popular that another two were purchased and erected along with a large camping area including ablution block. The state power supply was finally commissioned in 1983 to supply electricity to the farm, chalets, and camping area.

Dolphins - Seals - and even Whales all cruise along the edge of the reef.
You can sit and relax on the verandah of your chalet and watch the sun set over the indian ocean and watch the whales pass by on their long migration or simply take it easy in the peaceful environment and recharge your batteries.

Ted and Jenny McClintock leased the farm from Ted's father who purchased the property in 1974.
Ted then purchased the farm from his father in 1987.
The farm size is 800 hectares.

The Chalets are situated on a hill in the Wagoe farm overlooking Wagoe beach.

The distance to the beach from the Chalets is 1.5 kilometers.

All chalets are self contained with their own toilet and shower with hot water system.

The only thing you need to bring with you is your linen, blankets and towels. the chalets all have crockery, cutlery, pots and pans to cook with.

Each chalet has a full size gas stove and a full size fridge/freezer.
There is a large separate freezer in each chalet for hire if you need to use them.

The small chalets are two bedroom and the larger chalets have three bedrooms.
