Australia’s sunniest capital city, Perth effortlessly blends urban cool with raw natural beauty.

Just a short drive away are the beautiful wineries of the Swan Valley and a string of stunning beaches where you can watch amazing sunsets and even swim with wild dolphins. Little wonder The New York Times declared Perth a 'hipster haven'.

Neighbourhoods
Wedged between the harbour city of Fremantle and Perth’s affluent western suburbs, the tiny suburb of North Fremantle has long balanced a mix of industrial and residential.
Known for its eclectic mix of residents and its colourful past as an industrial hub boasting a soap factory, tanneries and the now infamous – and heritage listed – Dingo flour mill, North Freo has long dragged a little bit of Melbourne’s inner-city culture back to the heart of the west.
One of the few Perth suburbs boasting a main street of heritage-listed, two-storey terrace houses, this once-slightly grungy riverside suburb has emerged in recent years as one of Perth’s hippest drinking, dining and specialty retail destinations.

Sightseeing
Perth's idyllic island playground, Rottnest is just a short ferry ride from the mainland and a world away from city life. For such a tiny island, this car-free and carefree Class A reserve packs a lot of pleasure into a day.
Getting to "Rotto", as the locals affectionately call it, is a breeze. Just 19 kilometres off the coast, ferries depart regularly from Fremantle, Perth's Barrack Street Jetty and Hillarys Marina.
On its shores, 63 stunning beaches, 20 beautiful bays and many coral reefs and wrecks invite you to enjoy some of Australia's finest swimming spots, snorkel trails and surf breaks. On dry land, you'll meet the cutest mini marsupial, found only in Western Australia, the world famous quokka, as well as many unique plant and animal species.
With no cars on the roads, riding is the best way to get around, with bicycle hire available at the ferry terminals and on the island. If that's too much effort, you can hop on and off the Bayseeker Bus which regularly runs around the island, dropping you off at some of the more secluded beaches and surf breaks.
More family fun in the form of golf, tennis, shopping and guided tours can be found in Thomson Bay, as well as cafes, restaurants and takeaway options.
Tours on land and sea offer insightful experiences, from wildlife encounters with quokkas, seals, ospreys and whales, to history and cultural tours bringing Rottnest's colourful maritime, convict, colonial and World War II heritage vividly to life.
Many of the buildings commissioned by Perth's Governor in the nineteenth century are still a favourite among holiday-makers today, including the restored Hotel Rottnest and beachside villas. Alternatively, the old barracks are a good budget option for camping and backpacking.
