It's about a 10-15 minute walk from Perth Station, and there are many international restaurants around, which is very convenient. The hotel's service met expectations. The hotel hardware is a bit dated, but it meets the needs.

Excellent accommodation with views of Elizabeth Quay and the Swan River. Very comfortable bed and a huge bathroom. It's very healing to wake up to the sunrise. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this place.

hmm first time experiencing a hotel that needs to pay for housekeeping. perhaps my fault for not reading the booking fine prints. not sure is it an aussie thing, no toothpaste n toothbrush given, no bedroom slippers too. other than that everything else is ok and the location is great. near to the perth underground station and other amenities.

Definitly recommended! Tour was conducted by Peter, a friendly and knowledgable guide. we’ve been to three wineries: Lancester, Mondoon, and Tyler’s in addtion to a chocolate factory and a beer brewery. Very nice to enjoy. just wish there is explanation and show how the wine is made as well, in addition to the usual tasting near the fields.

Most rural sightseeing around Perth involves long hours of transportation, and this tour is no exception. The total round-trip travel time is about 6 hours, but the itinerary is well structured, covering several popular highlights such as Margaret River Cave, wine tasting, Busselton Jetty, and Cape Leeuwin Lighthouse. At each stop, we were given around 30–45 minutes, which felt reasonable for sightseeing and taking photos.
The tour guide and driver (the same person) was very organised and engaging, providing informative and amusing commentary throughout the journey. The group experience was also excellent — everyone was polite, punctual, and considerate. Group dynamics matter a lot to me as they can really affect the overall mood, and this group made the day even more enjoyable.
The tour starts early with a 7:00am pickup and returns around 9:30pm. It’s a long day, but one filled with beautiful scenery and memorable sights. A good option if you want to see multiple key attractions.

Totally worth it! Enjoy the small group experience. Let's get lost in Swan Valley for a day while you're in Perth. Had loads of great chats with Tim and the other participants. We visited three small-scale boutique wineries, stopped for lunch, and wrapped up the whole tour with some fantastic chocolate tasting. I have to say, my favorite winery was the last one! Thanks, Tim, for the tour! :-)
