Perth, the capital of Western Australia, may well be one of the most beautiful cities in the country, with the Swan River flowing directly through its heart. Perth is known for its clean, uncluttered beaches, pleasant weather, and free public transportation options around the CBD. A city this pleasant makes locating Perth accommodation simplicity itself regardless of your budget.
Backpackers’ hostels can be found just a few metres from the CBD for as little as $27 and often include such amenities as a courtyard, TV room, and Internet café. Campers can stay just across from the Swan River in comfortable campgrounds. Here they can take advantage of fully powered campervan sites or one- or two-bedroom cabins with on-site swimming and laundry facilities.
Travellers with less restrictive budgets may opt for three- or four-star hotels throughout the area. These hotels begin around $124 a night and offer attractive scenery, comfortable rooms, and basic amenities. Often centrally located, you will generally have convenient access to a range of public transportation options.
Those with a bit more to spend and who enjoy a bit of luxury while on holiday may prefer five-star accommodations, which cost more but also offer more in the way of amenities. Room service, attentive staff, wireless Internet, LCD televisions, and on-site spa facilities are often standard in Perth’s five-star hotels.
If you are planning a long-term visit for business, pleasure, or studies, a furnished apartment will often be your most affordable option. Furnished apartments provide all the comforts of home in a convenient, attractive package. Perth has furnished apartments located in the CBD as well as in its suburbs so that you can find one to suit your needs perfectly.
Perth’s cost of living is just a bit more than Sydney’s is. A restaurant meal will generally range between $25 and $80, while a one-bedroom apartment in the CBD may cost around $1,200. Perth is not only affordable, but it also consistently ranks amongst the most liveable cities in the world. It is well worth a visit.
