The first new accommodation on Rottnest Island in over 30 years, opened over the weekend on the 2.8 hectare property nestled behind the dunes of famous Pinky Beach. 83 fully furnished eco-tents, a resort pool and pool bar, along with property centrepiece comprise Discovery – Rottnest Island.
General Manager, Andy Cleverley, says the property brings world-class glamping to Rottnest Island.
“Today we welcome our first guests to the new Discovery – Rottnest Island, showcasing what is a truly spectacular tourism experience.
“Our opening has been years in the making and is much anticipated by everyone from Perth locals to international travel trade. Our opening weekend along with most of March and Easter are heavily booked, and this weekend marks an exciting milestone.”.
Discovery – Rottnest Island’s 83 eco tents come in four service levels with each tent featuring an ensuite bathroom, pillow-topped bed and furnished private decks. Many tents also include kitchenettes, with the Deluxe tents boasting opulent beachfront views and walk-in wardrobes.
The eco tents are linked via walkways and boardwalks to Pinky’s Beach Club, which is the heart of the property, and the ideal place to capture the sunset over a meal or drink.
The property is the result of a joint venture between two of Australia’s most experienced tourism operators – Baileys Group and Discovery Holiday Parks. Significant support from, and collaboration with, the Rottnest Island Authority (RIA) has taken the property from concept to reality.
