Reviews on Accomodation (Apartment & Campsites) at West Australia

Semasa road trip kami ke West Australia (2nd-11th Dec,2016),kami telah menginap dalam motorhome selama 7 malam dan bermalam di motel Perth untuk 2 malam pertama .Rasa teruja nak share what we thought about each accomodation.

Moga-moga  review ni boleh dijadikan panduan kepada sesiapa yang mencari-cari penginapan (terutamanya pada sesiapa yang plan nak bermotorhome) di WA.

Tapi,harus diingat jugak...campsite atau caravan park ni bukanlah untuk parking motorhome semata-mata.Park ni juga menawarkan banyak nice kabins dan hostel untuk disewa (at reasonable price).Maknanya,jika readers menyewa kereta...boleh juga menyewa accomodation di campsite ni. They are definitely the alternative options...rather than staying in 'typical' apartments!

Kan best menginap di kabin-kabin atau lodge comel ni?Terasa macam ala-ala country feeling gitu..

Pengalaman ketika menginap di campsites di NZ pada 2015,kami jadikan pengajaran.Bukanlah menyesal ke apa....cuma ralat kerana most of the times,kami tiba di campsites pada lewat petang atau malam hari.Jadi,kami tak betul-betul enjoy setiap campsite yang kami pergi.Sampai je kat site...top up power (caj motorhome) & air...dan membuang hasil kumbahan.Mandi...mendobi..makan dan tidur...esoknya pagi-pagi lagi dah bergerak ke tempat baru.

So,trip kali ni,kami cuba untuk memanfaatkan setiap campsite.. Bak kata omputeh,really savoured our moment,ahaks!

So...let's start with..

Lokasi campsite ni lebih kurang 30 km dari bandar Perth.Very peaceful and secluded spot..bagi anda inginkan yg inginkan privacy.It sits on Burns Beach.

Actually,Burns Beach Sunset Village ni letaknya on the way ke Pinnacles / Lancelin.
Kami pilih campsite ni sebab dari Perth City,kami lajak ke utara untuk ke tengok Pinnacles & main sandboarding di Lancelin Sand Dunes.
No Wifi (sob..sob)


Ada playground...sangat sesuai untuk family dengan anak-anak kecik

Dari playground menuju ke reception office

Destinasi terakhir kami sebelum berangkat pulang.Sebenarnya,kami sangat recommend tempat ini jika anda hanya nak berjalan-jalan di Perth sahaja (tak buat road trip ke WA).Sebabnya,tempat ni sangat strategik lokasinya.Just rent a car & sewa kabin kat sini.

Dekat dengan..

Perth Airport-15.9km.
Britz Motorhome-8 km (in case sewa motorhome..dekat jer nak pulangkan) 
Caversham Wildlife Park-8 km
Margaret River Chocolate (West Swan branch)-4.2km
Yahava Koffeework-4 km
Swan Valley Tourist Park-5.9 km
Danish Patisserie-6.3 km

Nearest Coles Supermarket is only 1.7 km! Senanglah nak top up barang dapur & kudap-kudapan..


Kids pool
Cabins for rent

Hopefully..dengan serba-sedikit explaination dan reviews...readers dapat membuat pilihan.
Nanti bila dah try...jangan lupa share pengalaman ya?Mungkin berbeza

Wassalam..
