Garde Hotel and Warders Cottages
Room was very clean. Breakfast was good (just wished it opened slightly earlier so we could take full advantage). The free mini bar and in-room water taps (still and sparkling) came in handy. Some great restaurants in walking distance. As is the Rottnest Ferry. Great location
