Often overlooked for the bucket-list highlights of the eastern coast, Western Australia is home to some of the country\u2019s most extraordinary natural wonders. Intrepid travellers to the state will be rewarded with vast untouched wilderness, remote beaches and awe-inspiring rock formations. Add easygoing locals, great food and lively cities to the mix and WA quickly becomes a must-see.<\/p>\n

How to find the best hostels in Perth for your trip<\/b><\/h2>\n

European travellers can now fly directly from London to Perth, which makes it a perfect base to start your Australian trip and a chance to discover the spectacular beauty of WA.<\/p>\n

In northern WA, Ningaloo Reef is an unspoilt, tourist-free reef that gives the Great Barrier a run for its money. To the south, vineyards meet the ocean at Margaret River, an international surfing spot that\u2019s also an enclave of modern boutique wineries.<\/p>\n

Fremantle, a port city only half an hour from Perth, is WA\u2019s answer to Byron Bay, jammed with independent cafes sourcing local ingredients, laneways with boutiques full of eco-friendly wares and home to one of Australia’s best breweries, Little Creatures.<\/p>\n

Rottnest Island, home of the quokka (the adorable marsupial star of endless Insta selfies) is easily reachable by ferry, with 63 beaches, hiking trails and vantage points to see whales.<\/p>\n

Perth itself has sweeping stretches of beach that appear deserted in comparison to those of Sydney or the Gold Coast. Cottlesloe, Mosman and Swanbourne are some of the best.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019d rather chase freshwater, then head to one of dozens of rockpools and waterfalls in the surrounding area like Injidup Natural Spa. This big tranquil pool has crashing surf that turns it into – you guessed it – a natural spa. You don\u2019t need to leave the city to feel nature though. King\u2019s Park is a huge inner-city haven with native bushland and botanical gardens that give you a chance to get close to Australian flora like banksia and eucalyptus.<\/p>\n

And the food is no slouch either. If you have a fussy friend, take them to Theo & Co<\/a> where there\u2019s over 50 pizza varieties on the menu. The Rosemount Hotel<\/a> is a great live music venue with a beer garden and Old Lane Street Eats<\/a> has cheap Asian favourites like bao, satay and curry.<\/p>\n

Perth has a good range of hostels with quality amenities and convenient locations. Most are located in Northbridge or along the beachfront. Perth hostels are often basic but clean with friendly staff. Many hostels in Perth accept long-term guests and you may find dorms to have a mix of locals and travellers.<\/p>\n
