We stayed at Caroline Thomson cabins these were clean, comfortable and convenient to beaches, the settlement and places to eat. Will definitely stay again and bring family. Wonderful family friendly environment.

Amazing location, nice exterior cabin. Interior disappointing and hostel like. Weren’t aware that linen was not included so be prepared for extra charges if booking through external website.
Love the little cabins in a good location you can cycle or walk to all the good spots. Can cook your own food. Rottnest is a beautiful island lots of bike adventures to have beautiful beaches.

Indoors the property was sufficient, though not very clean. The outdoor area of the cabin was inundated by sand and not particularly usable or pleasant.

Liked: Staff & service
Good price everything need cc lose to everything and to see sunrise and sunset perfect weather for 4 days on the island the stove top didn't work we were able to use microwave it would be nice to include linen and towels in the price but can hire blankets and pillows are provided enjoyed the $65 10 minutes flight over the island worth doing keep watch for the bush trees that spell rotnest
It seems bizarre that in an overnight stay when we arrived on the island at 9am and went to our cabin to find it being nicely cleaned that we were then not allowed into the cabin until hours later. In fact there is no guarantee that guests can enter their accommodation until 2pm. To move about the island we needed to leave our bags outside and wait for an SMS to tell us we could collect our keys (nowhere near our cabin) There has to be a better system!
