  • 4A great day out and must do

    Had a fantastic day at this unique island. Amazing views and a must do. Bakery was a great option for food. Quokkas awesome and loads of them in town. Downside was the quality of the bike we hired. They weren't the best and wished we had an e bike.

  • 4Bikes, swimming and a boat trip

    We booked a trip to Rottnest on the recommendation of friends, and it was a great day of cycling, swimming and sight seeing. We were really pleased to hire the bikes to help us get around and we didn't expect much given they were hire bikes, but the "three gear bikes" turned out to be seven gears on one but only one gear on the other, which made hills interesting! By the time we found our first incline and discovered this, we decided we didn't want to call the help number as we didn't know how long it would be, and didn't want to lose much of the day. Ferry times work well and it was a great way to spend the day.

  • 5Amazing scenery

    Beautiful place to visit. We biked around the island. It was a bit of a hike but it was worth it. Next time will do the bus.

About Perth

Perth is the capital of Western Australia, a sunny Indian Ocean city on the Swan River with a large hilltop park, white beaches and the port of Fremantle.

Perth sits where the Swan River widens into a broad estuary on the Indian Ocean coast, and it is often described as one of the most remote large cities in the world, with Adelaide more than two thousand kilometres to the east. Kings Park, a large reserve of bushland and botanic garden on a hill, looks over the skyline and the water, and the Elizabeth Quay waterfront anchors the centre.
