A Serene Escape to Rottnest Island, Perth

#perthonbudget My holiday on Rottnest Island was a perfect blend of relaxation, adventure, and natural beauty. Just a short ferry ride from Perth, the island felt like a hidden paradise far from the city’s bustle. The first thing that stole my heart was the clear turquoise water and soft white sand at The Basin and Pinky Beach—ideal spots for swimming and snorkeling among vibrant marine life. Cycling around the island was an unforgettable experience; with no cars allowed, it’s peaceful and refreshing. I met the island’s most famous residents—the adorable quokkas—whose friendly smiles made for the best photos. The Wadjemup Lighthouse offered breathtaking panoramic views, while the sunset at Salmon Bay painted the sky in stunning shades of gold and orange. Every moment on Rottnest Island felt pure and rejuvenating. It’s a place where time slows down, nature shines, and happiness comes easy. Truly, a must-visit gem near Perth.
