West Swan B&B

“I’m away from home, cozy, safe and secure!”

The studio had a separate lounge/kitchenette, bedroom, and bathroom, plus two roomy walk‑in wardrobes next to the bedroom, all top quality. I was pleased when my extra duvet and pillows were added without any hassle. The entrance door is separate from the main house, giving a cozy, home‑like vibe. Wi‑Fi was excellent, and the amenities matched the description. Deb was an outstanding host; when I arrived late the first night and had nothing to eat, she brought a plate of fresh fruit, olives, and a bottle of beer, and there was already a loaf of bread and a pint of milk in the fridge. A large water filter machine provided room‑temperature or cold filtered water whenever I wanted it. I wish I’d stayed longer because I had to leave for another property that was booked on the day I was checking out. Dep also runs a fish‑and‑chips shop in Caversham by the shopping centre, about a 10‑minute walk from the house, where I tried the food and was surprised when Dep mentioned that staying at her property reduced the price. The shower, while spacious enough for two people, had low water pressure and unstable temperature, taking at least 30 minutes to get a decent shower because the water kept fluctuating. There was no washing‑up bowl, which could have fit on the other side of the shower cubicle next to another showerhead—perfect for washing plates. The annex is attached to the main house with a door separating the two; since the property is self‑contained, a lock on the side of the door for the guest’s privacy would have been nice.

The place was spotless and had almost everything you could need. The bedroom was big with double wardrobes and a double shower that felt great. The little fridge and microwave were handy, and the couch with TV was a nice touch. They even had milk, tea, coffee, and all the cutlery and plates. The location is perfect for exploring Perth, but you do have to climb a few steps to get inside, so if you’re lugging a lot of luggage, that might be a hassle.

“Delightful B&B run by delightful host”

Cereal was plenty, and the host usually supplies milk. But there’s no sink or cooker, so you’re stuck with whatever you bring.

The room was cozy, spacious, and welcoming. The host was kind and considerate.

“Short walk to the shops, but long days of disruption by others in the adjoining part of the house”

The location was great, just down from the shops and close to the city centre. It was clean on arrival and easy to get into, and they had cereal, tea, coffee, and a big water bubbler. The downside was the other half of the house – the noise was a nightmare. They advertised sound‑proof walls, but the sliding door didn’t keep out any of the phone calls, TV, or kitchen clatter.
