Wonderful authentic Italian pizza. It's always busy. They have pizza deals on Tuesdays. If you can't get a table order takeaway and enjoy pizza on the balcony. They don't deliver, it's worth the 5 minute drive.

This place does wonderful modern Italian food. A little bit fancy and a little bit pricey, but worth it to treat yourself. The place has great atmosphere and great service too. I recommend booking a table because it can get busy.

We love the zoo. It's so close to the apartment and has beautiful lush green gardens. If you are staying for an extended time, it might be worth getting zoo membership.

A bit of a trek, but if you're nervous about sharks this protected lagoon could be a good option. The calm waters are also great for little kids to swim in.

Everyone loves Rottnest. You can catch the ferry from South Perth to the quay and Barrack St Jetty where the Rottnest Express departs from. Hire a bike and cycle around the island taking selfies with smiling quokkas. If you can, stay over night at the island, the quokkas come out in the evening.
