No Shortage Of Perth Accommodation Scarborough Options

Travelling 20 minutes north up the coast from Perth City, Western Australia, there is a beautiful suburb called Scarborough, which has internationally acclaimed ocean views, and is also referred to as the Sunset Coast. The fantastic beachside location makes site-seeing a breeze, with city sites not too far away, and other attractions like Hillaries Boat Harbour also nearby. Perth accommodation Scarborough, is mostly clustered along a small section of West Coast Highway, in and amongst a great array of restaurants, pubs, surf shops and ice creameries that are directly facing the beachfront.

There is a huge range of accommodation available in Scarborough, ranging from internationally renowned hotels to budget serviced apartments. All accommodation is within view of Scarborough Beach, which enjoys a sunny, temperate climate for most of the year, as well as some scorching hot summers that are perfect for beach holidays.

One of the first buildings that gets noticed in Scarborough is that of the only luxury hotel, which boasts a 4.5 star rating. Compared to all other buildings around, it towers well and truly sky-high, dominating its patch of beachfront. The Indian Ocean is simply dazzling from rooms facing the west side of the hotel. Inside the complex, there are several shops and amenities including restaurants, cafes, pubs and even a day spa. Room prices vary according to size and view, and there are also several huge function rooms. Also included is an executive clubroom that is exclusively reserved for guests, and a beautiful swimming area, although with the exquisite beach right on the doorstep, it seems somewhat superfluous.

Despite its rather high rating and well-known name, this luxury hotel is in need of maintenance and updating, particularly in the detail of the building itself. Recently, however, most rooms have been fully refurbished, and the service remains excellent. The function rooms also present extremely well when prepared to their full grandeur. On the whole, this hotel can be pricey but is definitely an enjoyable stay.

For travelers on a budget, there are a number of 4 and 3 star hotels around as well, which have the same fantastic proximity to the beach, but without the price tag. New and updated hotels feature modern decor which complements the relaxed beachside atmosphere, whilst some older hotels can come across as rather outdated. Despite this, all are clean and comfortable, with that same coastal location which makes Scarborough special.

Hotels are standard fare, however, serviced apartments are what keeps Scarborough accommodation afloat. There are literally dozens of serviced apartments in the Scarborough area that are fantastic for long stays and family holidays, from budget to luxury rates. There is a wide array of apartment sizes to choose from, and they will often include extras like free Internet and complimentary shuttles from the airport.

Hiring a car in Perth is possibly the easiest way to get around, despite how many buses stop along West Coast Highway. Public transport tends to be quite slow, and taxis tend to be quite expensive. Generally, hotels and apartments will accommodate this by providing free parking or valet parking as a service. It will typically take longer than the 15 minutes that most websites will claim is the travel time from the city centre to Scarborough, and driving through peak hour will increase the time even more so. Walking from Perth to Scarborough is definitely not for the faint hearted, and is not generally recommended.

As always, keep in mind that the Internet is full of great deals and last minute prices on Perth accommodation Scarborough that will save a lot of money for anyone planning on going on the perfect beachfront holiday.
