Canvas eco-tents behind Pinky Beach, Bathurst Lighthouse on the headland and the Indian Ocean just beyond your deck.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most trips to Rottnest Island<\/a> start with a ferry timetable and end with a race back to the jetty. Stay the night and the island starts to feel different: there\u2019s time for another swim, sunset on the west coast and a slower start the next morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discovery Resorts \u2013 Rottnest Island<\/a> gives you a fitting base for doing exactly that. Set behind the dunes of Pinky Beach, its safari-style eco-tents bring you closer to the landscape without asking you to give up a proper bed or private bathroom. Here\u2019s why you should stay at Discovery Resorts \u2013 Rottnest Island.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Pinky Beach is just a few steps from the resort<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Pinky Beach sits directly in front of the resort, with Bathurst Lighthouse overlooking the northern end of the sand. It’s one of the island’s widest and longest beaches, with sheltered water and a coral reef suited to beginner snorkellers. The Basin is also nearby when you want a change of swimming spot. Best of all, you can wander back to your tent when you\u2019ve had enough sun rather than checking the time against the last ferry home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sleeping under canvas feels right on Rottnest Island<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When the resort opened in 2019, its 83 eco-tents became Rottnest Island<\/a>\u2019s first new accommodation offering in 30 years. The setup keeps the spirit of camping without most of the work: you sleep beneath canvas but still have a proper bed, private ensuite and furnished deck. Flyscreened openings, ceiling fans and natural ventilation let the sea breeze do much of the work, rather than sealing you inside an air-conditioned room. On an island where you spend most of the day outdoors, waking to natural light and fresh air makes sense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
