About Western Australia
Much of Western Australia’s population lives in lively Perth, close to the ocean on the country’s southwestern coast. The rest of the state — which makes up almost a third of Australia — is made up of dramatic deserts studded with craggy rock formations, eucalyptus forests and green granite mountain ranges whose deep gorges are fascinating to explore. Some of the best places to stay in Western Australia are in these remote wildernesses, perfect for travellers with a real sense of adventure.
Some of our Western Australia collections:
Most visitors will fly in to bustling Perth, which has an appealingly youthful feel. Take the time to discover the city, with its popular farmers’ markets, museums and ever-evolving events scene. Nearby Fremantle is wonderful for heritage buffs and keen surfers, whilst those dreaming of tasting WA’s top wines can drive south to Margaret River for magical long weekends.
Far to the north lies Broome, a historic pearl fishing community. Ideal for restful beach breaks or off-the-beaten-track discoveries, this is a region of dazzling natural landscapes. Hide away on the secluded Dampier Peninsula, see rare wildlife, stroll along beautiful stretches of coastline and trek through tranquil national parks. A holiday in this region is an opportunity to soak up a huge variety of landscapes and cultures — all whilst staying at our Gurus’ selection of the best places to stay in Western Australia.
