Rottnest Island is a little slice of Mediterranean heaven located less than 20km (12 miles) off the coast of Perth. Known for its white sandy beaches, clear waters and secluded bays, Rotto (as it’s affectionately known) is perfect for a day trip or a weekend away. The car-free nature reserve is also home to a colony of quokkas (an Australian native marsupial). Ferries go from Barrack Street Jetty, Hillarys Boat Harbour, or Fremantle.
