Mackerel Islands offers two accommodation options: beachfront cabins on Thevenard Island and a private beach shack on Direction Island, both equipped with kitchens, outdoor BBQs, and ocean views. Thevenard Island features 2-, 3-, and 5-bedroom cabins with air conditioning, while Direction Island provides a secluded 2-bedroom retreat. Guests can snorkel along fringing coral reefs, join guided reef walks, or take 4WD sunset tours to spot ospreys and nesting turtles. Dinner Under the Stars events are held weekly, and the island's general store stocks alcohol, bait, and fishing gear. A 45-minute ferry from Onslow or a 35-minute scenic flight from Exmouth provides access.
