Rottnest Island
Rottnest Island, located just off the coast of Perth in Western Australia, is known for its white-sand beaches, turquoise bays and relaxed island atmosphere. A protected nature reserve, it is especially famous for its population of quokkas, small marsupials often noted for their friendly appearance. The island is car-free, with visitors getting around by bicycle, on foot or via shuttle services. Popular activities include swimming, snorkelling, cycling, wildlife viewing and exploring historic sites such as the Wadjemup Lighthouse and World War II structures. Ferries operate regularly from Fremantle, Perth and Hillarys, making Rottnest an accessible destination for day trips and short stays.

Travel Questions

Perth is known to be one of the most expensive cities in Australia, we recommend using the free bus service (the CAT bus) whenever possible and purchasing a Smartrider card to save money on public transportation.

3 Days

We recommend spending a couple of days enjoying the delights of the city centre and Fremantle and at least one day dedicated to visiting the unmissable Rottnest Island.

Perth has lovely warm and dry summers whilst the winters are mild they can bring thunderstorms and downpours.

In the height of summer (Dec-Feb) temperatures can be scorching in the city and beaches overcrowded. It is popular opinion that the best time to visit are the couple of months either side of this period.
