Loved by Samphire Rottnest Hotel guests
"Comfortable, clean & furnishings that were cohesive with the beachfront location, we had a brilliant time exploring Rottnest Island."
"The HUGE bathroom, with seperate toilet, has twin rain showers, and twin vanity's, and the sliding louvred doors are cleverly designed to allow you to enjoy the sea view when showering."
"In the evening we sat at the bar for a few cocktails near the fire pit overlooking the ocean & it was bliss, drinks were delicious & atmosphere relaxing."

“Samphire Rottnest strikes me as a relaxing base for exploring Rottnest Island, especially with its walkable location near Thomson Bay. I like that they highlight Western Australian produce in their dining, and that the architecture embraces the island's coastal beauty. For a family-friendly escape with a focus on nature, this hotel seems well-positioned.”

awesome stay
clean roomuseful racksearly closure
the hotel was clean with well appointed rooms. i had access to the pool from arrival until departure, even several hours after checkout. the bike racks were useful for exploring the area.
I found the bar closed early one evening at 8:45 pm, i was hoping for a late drink. i had to leave the restaurant due to staff clearing up around me. That was disappointing.

The location offered convenient access to island activities. the pool area had comfortable double loungers and shade. i appreciated the roomy bathroom and good bedding. Towels were also nice.
The bar closed early on a friday evening. i felt the mini-bar prices were high for the limited selection. the receptionist seemed rude and tried to upsell another room.
