Latest Perth hotel reviews
Pro
One of the best cities in Australia to live.
Con
Isolation - If you're travelling to the eastern states getting to Perth is pretty expensive.
In a nutshell
More than wild flowers and timber forests
114 Reviews Each summer Shakespeare WA present a series of Shakespearean plays in the confines of Kings Park. It's a great way to spend a summer's evening, take a picnic blanket, some food and wine (byo) and enjoy a choice of performances. Tickets for the 2012 season cost $49 and can be bought at the venue...
74 Reviews If you think that Megamouth is simply an opinionated sports commentator, then think again (he's actually called Sam Newman)! I am ambivalent about the Perth Museum - which is good but not great - but the one 'must see' there is the Megamouth shark. Megamouth is a large and extremely rare species...
46 Reviews Rottnest Island - universally known as Rotto by anyone who's been in Western Australia for more than five minutes - is quite simply Perth's playground and the fact that it attracts 500,000 tourists a year (dominantly West Australians) speaks volumes for its unique combination of charms. Located...
54 Reviews The Fremantle prison is right up the street from the markets. And what shopping trip would be complete without a jaunt to the prison.... that'll teach you to shoplift sonny! They give a 90 minute tour to show you the squalid conditions the prisoners lived in. I found it to be pretty informative....
18 Reviews Aqua at Hillarys Boat Harbour is definately worth visiting if you have kids. The underwater aquarium is awesome with huge sharks and stingrays. They even have a touch pool for the kids to touch stingrays and star fish etc. I couldn't get my young son away from it and he ended up really wet. Here's a...

7 Reviews Having dined at The King Street Cafe over the past six years i have been impressed but my experience this week left a lot to be desired. Coffee good and service likewise but the lunch time meal was awful. I had the Sweet and Sour pork crepes which turned out to be singular and the pork tasted awful....
9 Reviews The Little Creatures Brewery is a locally owned an operated micro brewery. It is well situated with a rustic ambience and decor inside a big boat shed on the Fishing Boat Harbour in Fremantle. The brewery is completely open for inspection and the delicious beers are poured straight from the...
53 Reviews This is one toilet you should stay away from. The bar and door staff are incredibly rude. They have no idea how to treat their patrons. Northbridge in general is a lot like this but this place is the worst of a bad bunch. I would recommend avoiding this place like a bad case of haemorriods. If...
28 Reviews Situated on St George's Terrace near Cloisters Square is the George. Beautifully converted from an old Commonwealth Bank branch, the George is a nice place to go for a drink after work. If you become a member, they host a last Tuesday of the Month evening, which entitles you to two free drinks and...
26 Reviews It has to be said that Perth does not have a wonderful public transport system compared to cities such as Sydney and Melbourne. However, the good news is that this has been identified as a priority and the public transport network is slowly but consistently being improved, particularly in the CBD...
14 Reviews Both of Perth’s central bus stations, as well as the local train stations one stop on either side of the main train station, are within the Free Transit Zone, or FTZ. Most buses passing through the FTZ offer free travel within it, as do the snazzy “CAT” (Central Area Transit) buses serving the city...
2 Reviews Scarborough Fair Markets are really popular – they combine a visit to the beach with a relaxed way of shopping. The markets are adjacent to the Rendezvous Observation City. The markets have various stalls from antiques, fashion, surf wear, tarot reading, massage and reflexology, books, rocking horse...
4 Reviews Australian Aboriginal culture can claim to be the oldest continuous living culture on the planet. Recent dating of the earliest known archaeological sites on the Australian continent - using thermoluminescence and other modern dating techniques - have pushed back the date for Aboriginal presence in...
5 Reviews I say an article today in the paper on the sharks in the swan river - appartently they have always been present in the river - which is a shock to me!!! Bull sharks can survive in the fresh water and they often come into the swan due to the amount of food available. They rarely attack as they are...
6 Reviews Kangeroos are everywhere along the roads if u drive away from perth city. It is very saddening every morning to see fresh carcasses of kangeroos lying by the roadside. As with all road trips, keep the driving to daylight hours only. Highways are not lit and kangeroos can jump out anytime. And i...
10 Reviews No matter when you are coming to Perth, pack your sunscreen. You'll be surprised that it won't be the necessarily hottest, sunniest day and you will get burnt to smithereens. For the same reason, make sure you bring your hat, sunnies and something to cover you up from the sun if you burn easily....
12 Reviews If you are looking for the finest wine in Margaret River, then look for Voyager Estate which s located in the premium wine producing region of Margaret River Our oldest vines date back to 1978, just over 10 years after vines were first planted in the area. When current owner, Michael Wright, took...
14 Reviews On our way back after visiting the Pinnacles to Cervantes we were attracted by a signpost to ‘Lake Thetis’. We took the turn off and through a rather bad gravel road we reached after about 1½ kilometres this shallow lake in a more or less dreadful landscape. Lake Thetis is a very salt lake, which is...
20 Reviews Australians love music as much as people everywhere else in the world. The invention of the MP3 player, however, is not yet known down under... [/nonsense modus off] The lively pedestrian streets in Perth City, Hay Street and Murray Street, become open air stages when street musicians and other...
10 Reviews Visit Rottnest Island... you can get around on bikes or walk... there are no cars just people powered vehicles. Crystal blue ocean surrounds this small island. Scuba diving, surfing, snokeling and sailing are some of the things you can find yourself getting the urge to try at this magical little...
