We had excessive mildew and mould on our bathroom ceiling and walls. Our padlock had a sticker with room number which was not our room number… which gave us some concerns to security. We were moved to another tent promptly and provided some meal vouchers, which they did handle well. However our new tent had broken bathroom light so couldn’t see in the shower or on toilet. We also had cockroaches in the bathroom. As we were spending the days on a boat, we returned late one evening to find our lock changed and we could not get into our room. Had to wait about 15 mins for someone to bring bolt cutters to remove lock so we could get in. The breakfast was buffet style and we found the hot food to be cold every day, so ended up just having toast and fruit. Coffee was from a machine, recommend just buying coffee instead.

Upgrade
We received an upgrade from a standard tent, which gave us a kitchenette on top of the quality ensuite. Resort was well equipped, and we loved the breakfast provided.

The property was great with access to the beach. Our tent was very clean and well maintained. Great bed linen and towels (bath and beach) were very good. The breakfast included in our tariff was excellent, sadly I can’t say the same for the other meal we had which was disappointing. On an island location you would hope that the seafood would be good, but not in our experience. We shared a calamari and for the price you’d expect it to be good, not hard rubbery and tasteless. We would have ordered another main to share but decided not to after the calamari experience.

Nice spot at top of Island about a 900m walk from Ferry. Organise a bag pickup to save yourself moving luggage. Check in was a hassle as after walking to resort with baggage they said they would notify us when our tent/ room was ready (as we arrived early on boat) but failed to do so so we did not check in until 4pm. Great facilities and the beach at resort is magic

Superior tent had plenty of space. Bit cold at night for me but I was ok with blankets and the heater. Resort is on Pinky's beach which is a great spot. Pool area was small and generally empty. The seagulls were the only ones in the pool though! Overall, we loved Rottnest Island and Discovery was a good place to explore it from; it just felt v expensive for what it was. Very noisy, it being tents. Families with small kids are going to make a lot of noise, obviously. It usually stopped eatly but could start up in the middle of the night. Ear plugs are provided. We were on the outside of the park. It felt a bit vulnerable to people going past on the road outside. I wasn't too happy about leaving my luggage outside the tent where anybody could grab it. We handed it directly to the luggage team when they went past.
