Travel: Australia - Perth

[snower]

Anyone knows if there is any chinese restaurant near to Goodearth Hotel? We are staying there for five nights. What can we do at the Pinnacles Desert? Is half a day sufficient? Are we able to ride the quad bike or go kart?

Hey Everyone,


Have to revive this thread for a bit. Intending to visit Perth this mid-November. Hotels are super expensive but I managed to grab some good deals.

Miss Maud Swedish Hotel - $189 p/n (for 2 nights)
Four Points by Sheraton - $137 p/n (for 2 nights)
Mantra on Murray - $169 p/n (for 1 night)
Goodearth Hotel - $157 p/n (for 8 nights)

Anybody has comments for these hotels and their prices?

Also intending to make our way down to Cottesloe Beach, Rottnest Island and Penguin Island. Unsure how to get there and thus may need some help.

Pinnacles Desert is super far from Perth. Around 7 hours car ride back and forth. I'm not sure of any Chinese restaurants near Goodearth but you should try Vietnamese cuisine in Australia - they are very good compared to Vietnamese cuisine in other places (strangely, even better than the native country)

There is a train station near Cottesloe Beach. A short walk to the beach.

To go to Rottnest Island, can take ferry from Barrack's Street jetty (about 1.5hrs) or from frementle (about 30min). Think there is also ferry service from Hillary's Cove. Pack a pinic basket if u plan to be at Rottnest for a couple of hours. Bike's r available for rent to go round the island.

The last time I went to Penguin Island, we drove to rockingham, then hop onto a ferry. Very short ferry ride. On the way to Penguin Island, the ferry will pass by Seal Island. Can see many lion seals sunbathing on the island.

Hi

I have a question wrt budget airlines such as scoot as I have not taken any of it before.
Is it true that it will be rather chaotic during boarding? Any priority given to families with kids? Heard it will be free seating and a family may be separated as in they may not be able to sit together? True?

This is also my first time taking a LCC. Hopefully I won't face a chaotic situation :xedfingers:

As for sitting together, Scoot allow passengers to pre-book seats at a price, depending on what kind of seats u want. Options to pre-book seats will be made available during your online reservation. I paid $8 per seat just so that our family of 4 will be seated together. One can, of course, choose not to pay n accept the random seating.
