Weekend at Rottnest

We stayed in a 6 berth cabin in the camping ground area. Great location, an electric large mobile heater and a large wall mounted fan are excellent additions. There is virtually no wifi although they do tell you at check in that it is free, (occasionally it turns up), but it drops out continuously so dont count on having it. There is also no tv in the cabins and you cant hire them any more.

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.

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!
