The Nest’ on Newcastle has an Arthouse boutique hotel feel. Level N is a small but well utilised and appointed space extended by a balcony overlooking the Thai restaurant Baan Baan next door (beware Baan Baan’s Thom Yum, it’s very hot! :). There is a rooftop sitting area for relaxed undisturbed reading and contemplation with a view across the distant city skyline. The Nest is positioned for an easy walk downtown with the Art Gallery of WA, Museum, train station and the free Cat circuit services on the way. On Level T in the basement you will find all you need to do some cooking as the mood strikes, or your washing. Staff (the building manager Deb in particular) were very friendly and helpful as was the host Maurice who lives in nearby Fremantle. I would certainly consider The Nest again should I ever revisit Perth.
