Transport to New York City in this two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment for up to four guests in West Perth. Think: sky-high ceilings, exposed red brick, a giant arched window, streams of warm light and patterned feature walls. Grab a seat on your private balcony and enjoy a morning coffee before stepping inside to discover open-plan, loft-style living where a kitchen, dining and living area all sit side by side. A two-seater couch sits in front of a small TV and alongside a dining area with a table for four guests. Working from home? Make use of the laptop-friendly dedicated workspace for weekly Zoom meetings or to catch up on emails. There is also an AC window unit and heater to keep the temperature comfortable year round. When you’re not out exploring the many eateries the city has to offer, cook up a storm in a functional kitchen with appliances that include a gas stove top, fridge, oven and microwave, alongside all the cooking utensils and basics you’ll need. Come evening, take your pick of two rooms. The master bedroom is styled with patterned wallpaper, and hotel quality linen that dress a queen bed, bedside tables and lamps and a large sliding door that lets in the sunlight. A second bedroom comes furnished with a double bed. There is no AC in the bedrooms, but ceiling fans to keep you cool in the evenings. Two bathrooms are clean and decorated in old world-style, white-tiled walls and both have a toilet, shower and large vanity with mirrored backsplash and under-sink storage. On those warm summer days head up to the communal rooftop that offers BBQ facilities and outdoor dining. Cook up a storm and enjoy a wine with a backdrop of panoramic Perth city views. Additional conveniences include a washing machine, Wi-Fi, air conditioning and heating in the living area, and undercover parking for one car.

Perth is an eclectic mix of beautiful beaches and sparkling skyscrapers. Jump on the city’s free CAT bus service—which runs every five minutes—and be whisked to the city centre where you can utilise the Perth City hop-on hop-off bus tour or board a cruise that’ll take you to the stunning Swan Valley wine region. The city centre also plays host to many contemporary galleries, museums, eateries, bars and shopping experiences. Nature lovers should grab a bike and join the locals for a ride around Kings Park and Botanic Gardens. Come evening, don’t miss the famed Perth sunset—where you’ll watch the flaming orange sun sink behind a pristine beach and into the Indian Ocean. Plus, you’ll have to spend a day at the sun-soaked Rottnest Island familiarising yourself with the furry locals: the quokkas.
