Pelican's Rest a "Cosy Nest".

Perfect base for our Birding Trip! Characterful wooden interior studio space, in a quiet location. Ideal as we could come and go easily for those dawn photo opportunities. We also enjoyed the private outdoor seating area with plenty of shade.

Such comfortable, homely accommodation. Our hosts have thought of everything for their guests' comfort. Can't believe they even provided spare batteries for the remote, sticky tape (you never know!), a torch, Aeroguard, extra gas bottles for the BBQ and so much more. Highly recommended as a better alternative to a soulless hotel room. Well done Peter and Hilde.

Staying at Pelican's Rest

Very pleasant place to stay. Quiet, peaceful & very private. Easy access to Rockingham City & beaches. Definitely something different regarding accommodation as the room was furnished with very attractive Jarrah wood & a lot of thought has gone into the layout. Peter, the owner, is very nice & accommodating. We will be back!
