Beautiful place to stroll around, swim and relax. The quokkas were just to cute. We were amazed at the rescue falcons ability to keep the pesky birds away from the eating area. Staff were very helpful.

Thoroughly enjoyed the day! The bike hire was definitely worth it as we were able to explore more of Rottnest than we had before with young kids. Lots of toilet facilities around and beautiful calm beaches.
