Accommodation

This impressive, eco-sustainable ‘glamping’ resort is tucked behind the dunes of famous Pinky Beach, one of Australia’s most spectacular coastal locations. As the first low-impact glamping experience on Rottnest Island, Discovery Rottnest Island is holiday accommodation with a difference. Sleep (almost) under the stars in a luxury eco-tent, explore boardwalks through the sand dunes to Pinky’s Beach Club and laze by the resort pool.

Barefoot and beachfront, in the heart of Thomson Bay you’ll find Rottnest Island’s newest accommodation provider; Samphire Rottnest. Inviting the relaxed coastal vibe in, the rooms at Samphire Rottnest have been thoughtfully designed to complement their raw, natural surroundings to deliver an experience that is respectful, understated, and relaxed.

The Rottnest Island Authority manages hundreds of self-contained holiday units around the island’s east end, from basic family cabins to lovely waterfront cottages – something for all budgets.

Close to the main settlement and a short stroll from The Basin, one of the island’s top swimming spots, Rottnest’s official Camping Grounds are an easy-going, economical option.

About 1km from the main settlement you’ll find the Kingstown Barracks, this former army base was the focus of the island’s WWII operations. Today, Kingstown Barracks hosts smart budget beds for backpackers, groups and solo travellers.
