we intend to be in
Perth in mid February for the birth of our son's and his partners first child and are looking for 2 weeks unit style accommodation somewhere around north
Perth. we have looked on the internet but conflicting reviews about the same premises have made us very wary. Does anyone know of a location they could recommend
Thanks

G'day
John - Accommodation is not easy to find between North
Perth and quite a few kms North of
Perth.
If you stay in North
Perth or Leederville, there's plenty of accommodation, but be prepared to pay CBD accommodation prices.
Once you move out of North
Perth, accommodation isn't easy to find, until you get about 20kms North.
Here's a small house in Woodvale that may suit you. It's about 20kms North of North
Perth, but it's highly suitable for a couple, and it has easy access to the
Mitchell Freeway, which makes for a fast run into North
Perth.
The owner lives in the rear house on the same block and he seems to specialise in weekly rentals. The rental cost is $130 a night, which is pretty reasonable pricing for
Perth.
The accommodation has a rating of 5 out 5 from 8 reviewers. It appears to be a very nice spot, with parkland/bush over the road. The owner is pretty strict, no smokers, no pets, and suitable only for a couple. I find that apartment/house owners who set strict rules, usually makes for a pleasant stay.
With the Stayz site, you deal directly with the owner of the accommodation.
1 Bedroom house for rent - Woodvale
I think you're
well advised to move fast, February is the high season and accommodation is very rapidly booked out from now on.
Cheers, Ron.

P.S. I trust the birthdate of the bub is spot-on! We got a new grandchild last April, and we flew from
Perth to the
Gold Coast to see him - but he didn't want to make an appearance!
We sat around for 10 days, waiting and waiting - and he still didn't appear, so the docs had to induce him!
So it ended up, instead of having a fortnight with new bub, we only had 4 days, before we had to come
home again!!
Cheers, Ron.

Thanks Ron, I trust we may have better luck with the arrival time but as it is their first who knows? As long as they are fit and healthy that's all that matters but I am sure Grandma will make sure she gets some quality time. Good luck and thanks again Regards

As a
Perth dweller, I concur with all the recommendations you've been given here. I will just add one more - that may/not interest you. We've had visitors stay at
Sorrento - there are two options here - either the
Quality Resort or inside the marina at
Hillarys Harbour Resort. Obviously, quite a bit more upmarket than a cabin at the caravan park but I'm not sure what you're after. It's a big trip to come to
Perth and
Sorrento is absolutely stunning. Everything you need will be in walking distance and its 25 min drive to North
Perth. We don't have all day traffic here - just peak hour blockages and only in the direction of the city.
Hope this helps.

Thanks Michelle we will have a look. With regard to traffic we live in a fairly isolated part of the Victorian High Country. 5 cars in 5 minutes in the local village outside of holiday times would constitute peak hour...Regards
