The hydeaway is much better than the photos or description give. It's very spacious and comftable. It has everything you need to dine in, do your laundry and the best thing for us was the outside area which was great for bbqing which is what the Australian out door living is all about. We did not hire a car, because the transperth bus and train systems are fantastic, cheap, reliable and all within walking distance of the hyeaway. There is plenty to do within easy reach from a bus/train beatiful beaches( Cottasloe and Scarbough were our favourites) Perth city which has lots going on including the beatiful Kings Park and river crusies. Best tip is use the visitors center in Guilford fantastic resource. We stay for 2 months whilst visiting our son so it really did become a home from home and we were all very sad to leave. The local community were incredibly friendly in the pub /restrant, bottlemart, IGA and Snap fitness, not to mention great neighbours! We had a wonderful stay thank-you.
