Many Perth Accommodation Scarborough Options Near The City Centre

Scarborough is a beachside suburb in Perth, Western Australia, which is world renowned for its stunning white beaches and beautiful coastline. Often called the Sunset Coast, the convenient beach location is around 20 minutes away from the city centre by car, and is also a handy distance from other tourist hotspots, including Hillaries Boat Harbour. Perth accommodation Scarborough, concentrates mostly along a short strip of West Coast Highway, in amongst a fantastic collection of shops, restaurants, pubs and surfwear outlets, all flaunting that unique, laid-back beach appeal.

Scarborough offers a large range when it comes to accommodation. There are lodging styles to suit any budget, all within a short stroll from Scarborough Beach. The area is also renowned for having beautiful sunny weather for most of the year, with blazing summers that make beach holidays the perfect choice.

One standout building that soars above most of Scarborough is the only 4.5 star luxury hotel in the area. The beach is literally on its doorstep, and the Indian Ocean looks stunning from the west-facing balconies. The complex itself has coffee shops, day spa, restaurants and pubs, all of fairly good repute. There are a selection of room sizes available, as well as substantial function rooms and an exclusive clubroom for guests. The outdoor area is also lovely, with well-designed swimming lagoons, which may seem a bit redundant when the beach is just outside.

In spite of its plausibly high rating and good reputation, the hotel in question seems a little shabby and outdated in terms of building maintenance. It has, however, enjoyed a thorough refurbishment in most of the rooms recently, and its function rooms still present very well when they are fully laid out. Altogether, the service and the refurbishment make for a somewhat pricey but definitely pleasant stay.

There are several lower rated hotels in Scarborough that also feature beachfront locations, but usually have better prices. Newer hotels tend to have gorgeous modern decor that matches perfectly with the beach lifestyle, whilst older hotels tend to be somewhat dated, without compromising on the beautiful beachfront location or cleanliness.

Serviced Perth apartments number in the dozens, all offering competitive service at a range of rates. This type of accommodation is especially suited to families and those who are planning an extended stay. Each company offers a variety of different apartment sizes to suit any need, and will most likely include such extras as complimentary Internet and free shuttle services to the airport.

Valet or free parking is also fairly standard at most serviced apartments and hotels, since hire cars are an excellent way to get around Perth, and especially Scarborough. West Coast Highway is a main thoroughfare for buses, however, it can be very slow going on public transport, and taking taxis everywhere can be very expensive. Websites for accommodation tend to boast 15 minute travel time to the city, however, it will usually take longer, and markedly so during peak hour traffic. For those who may consider walking, be warned that it is definitely not a comfortable walking distance from the city to Scarborough.
