If you can stay with one host in Perth, stay with Natalie and Jake. They are kind, thoughtful people with a beautiful home. We had an extended stay with them for 4 weeks while visiting from Canada and working in Perth. The location is a good one, depending on what you're looking for. For us, we loved being right across the street from the lake, watching all of the amazing birds, and being able to go for walks around the lake. If we wanted to go to the movies (indoor our outdoor theatre) or grab a great dinner, it was a 5 minute bike ride or 20 minute walk. About the same amount to 3 different train stations that can get you to the various beaches. There are some wonderful cafes with great food within a 5-10 minute walk, and the grocery store is about a 15 minute walk. The bed was comfortable, and plenty of linens of good quality. When coronavirus forced us to leave back to Canada early, Natalie and Jake worked with us to sort out a refund, and even helped us return our bikes since we didn't have time. This illustrates their kindness and willingness to go above and beyond. They made us feel very welcome, the space was quiet and spacious, and we would stay here again without hesitation.
