Overall I enjoyed my stay at the resort but if the 4 points below were addressed I’m sure all guests stays would be improved. 1. Provision of a gym even if it was a small indoor area with a few pieces of workout apparatus 2. A dedicated, off to side clearly signposted smoking area where non-smokers are less exposed. Smokers were instructed to smoke at the entrance to a main beach access point adjacent to the bar & dining areas. This path & stairway was frequented by many families with small children. Smoking Allowed wasn’t sign posted, there was no butt bucket of any description and many dumped butts on the dune underneath the landing where smoking took place, which is not an eco friendly practice 3. It would have been great if check in procedures had been followed, there was more than a 50minute delay, we did receive an apology but considering I was 5 metres away (pre-checkin had been done, mobile & email details known), communication could have been better 4. Our buggy driver to the airport got lost, must have been embarrassed as at first he denied being lost when questioned, lucky we didn’t miss our flight hm, though we were late. Perhaps the resort buggies could be equiped with clear instructions or a laminated map displaying what’s where and colour coded directions with arrows displaying how to get there. I believe guests would also appreciate this being available & the resort be more efficient & pro active for their staff navigating the island & assisting guests Cathy

Location is superb! Tents are great! Breakfast was our boys favourite meal of the day. Food at Pinky’s was average. It could be very noisy sleeping- we had toddlers staying next door who would wake at 6am and start shrieking. Luck of the draw.

Discovery park was fantastice, the service at the front desk was Excellant, the lady with round spectacles was incredible, we got upgraded without a charge.Rooms have lovely decor. Breakfast was really good, lots of choices. Pinky was an epic fail though. The food is terrible, we had the fish which was cooked straight from frozen, just yuk. French guy at pinky was very helpful. The beach at the resort is sensational, snorkling was awesome.

Our tent was clean and comfortable. The balcony was the perfect spot to watch the sunset and sunrise as well as watching the quokkas in the gardens. The property was is an amazing location with a quick walk to the beaches and lighthouse. There is a bar and Pinkies restaurant on site and food was delicious. Buffet breakfast was 10/10.

There is no air conditioning in the building but it was nice and cool at night.

This resort is approx 10-15 min walk from the main settlement / ferry area. Breakfast was excellent!

Hi Ruth, thanks for choosing to stay with us at Discovery Rottnest Island. We’re sorry to read you were disturbed by the noise coming from neighbouring tents. As the tents are made of canvas, they are not sound-proof, but we trust our guests to consider their neighbours when joining us on the island. It’s disappointing when others don’t consider who they may be affecting. Please know we’ll pass your comments on to our management team and will do our best to further monitor noise within the park at all times. We appreciate you taking time from your day to provide your comments and are sorry again for any troubles caused.

Expensive accommodation and then additional costs for extra people. If paying over $900 per night for a family tent should not have to pay additional money to use all of the beds specified in the accommodation. A great accommodation option on the island but like all accommodation on Rottnest it has become ridiculously expensive and only accessible to a minority.
