Take some time before the start of the first Ashes test to relax and explore some of the delights which Western Australia’s capital city has to offer. Known for its stunning beaches, vibrant culture, and outdoor lifestyle, a four-night stay in Perth will give you a chance to enjoy some of the local delights and produce and also learn about the region’s history.

During your stay, head to Fremantle – a vibrant coastal city just south of Perth, known for its rich maritime history and well-preserved 19th-century architecture. During your visit embark on a two-hour walking tour to hear tales of its murky convict past, rich local street art and Indigenous history.

Now it is time to delight the senses with a half day Swan River lunch cruise and enjoy some of Western Australia’s seasonal fresh produce as your cruise downstream from Perth.

There is also plenty of free time to venture to one of the city’s stunning beachside suburbs and explore the fauna and flora of lofty Kings Park.

A visit to Perth is not complete without venturing over to nearby Rottnest Island, a picturesque gateway to crystal clear waters, stunning beaches and unique wildlife, most notably home to its most famous resident – the Quokka!

An overnight stay at Discovery Rottnest Island including ferry transfers from Perth and bike hire will provide the perfect setting for relaxing before the first test.
