Ageing pair of guesthouses with a shady courtyard and a nice feel.
Plans are underway to refurbish.
A few twins, but mostly six-bed dorms. Well-looked after, converted house with a spacious kitchen, small pool and parking. The nearest campsites are 7km from the city. Booking ahead for motels and apartments is advisable in the summer if you want to stay at the first place on your list. Transperth is the city's excellent, under-used and inexpensive suburban transport network, with frequent trains to Fremantle and northern, southern and eastern suburbs.
