Where should a car-free family stay for a week around Perth?

For four people, confirm actual beds, laundry and kitchen equipment. A comfortable apartment makes seven nights easier than moving hotels to save one transfer.

Map the Rottnest ferry departure you expect to use before choosing a base. Check the complete train or bus trip to the beaches as well.

Compare central Perth and Fremantle by the trips you will repeat most. A station and supermarket near the apartment matter more than a nominally central postcode.
