Perth on a Budget: Your Ultimate Guide to a Dreamy Weekend Getaway

S

ick of the same old holiday destinations? Yearning for an adventure that won't break the bank? Look no further than Perth (Boorloo), Western Australia's sunniest capital city!

Perth is the perfect blend of stunning natural beauty and vibrant cosmopolitan vibes. Whether you're chasing dreamy sunsets, exploring lush inner-city parks, or indulging in delicious food and wine, Perth is your enchanting getaway!

Here's how to make the most of your dreamy weekend escape:

  1. Bask in the tranquility of stunning Cottesloe Beach. Soak up the calming waves and snap some envy-inducing pics with your besties, then watch as the sun sets dreamily into the Indian Ocean.
  2. Explore Kings Park (Kaarta Koomba), the world's largest inner-city park. Tour its lush botanic gardens with an Aboriginal guide, and get lost in a sea of wildflowers. Snap some OOTD shots, and enjoy a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of nearby Perth city.
  3. Feed your soul (and your belly) in the Swan Valley. Enjoy a relaxing cruise along the Swan River (Derbarl Yerrigan) to this foodie paradise boasting a delicious array of cuisine and wine, perfect for satisfying those hunger pangs.
  4. Get up close and personal with Australia’s iconic wildlife in their natural habitats, from dolphins and penguins in Rockingham to Rottnest Island (Wadjemup) where you can come face to face with quokkas, the world’s happiest animal.
  5. Be blown away by the natural beauty of the Margaret River Region and Ningaloo Reef (Nyinggulu). From rugged cliffs to stunning underwater worlds, these otherworldly destinations will leave you breathless.
  6. Immerse yourself in Perth, a thriving metropolis that will light you up with its culture and history. Visit museums, art galleries, and historic landmarks to discover the city’s fascinating past and culture. With weather as welcoming as its friendly locals, Australia’s sunniest capital city offers adventures for everyone.
  7. Thrill-seekers, rejoice! Perth has a range of exciting attractions, from the Perth Zoo to World Heritage-listed Fremantle Prison. Then be sure to visit dreamy Rottnest Island (Wadjemup), a car free paradise ready to be explored by scenic flight, segway, bike, glass-bottom kayak, and – for the daring at heart – adventure boat or skydiving .
