Overview
First Impressions
When I first pulled up to 3 Funky &cool Family Coolbinia 2br For 4, I’ll be honest — the name had me curious, and the place definitely delivers on that quirky promise. This four-star property sits quietly on Adair Parade in Perth, and you immediately get the sense that someone put real thought into making this feel like more than just another rental. The building itself has this relaxed, residential vibe that makes you feel like you’re staying in someone’s thoughtfully designed home rather than a cookie-cutter hotel.
The Space That Works
The two-bedroom setup is honestly perfect for small families or couples traveling together — I mean, having that extra space makes such a difference when you’re staying more than a night or two. Each room feels deliberately styled with this cool, modern aesthetic that somehow manages to be both trendy and comfortable. What really caught my attention was how they’ve managed to fit everything you need without making the place feel cramped, and there’s this nice flow between the living areas that actually encourages you to hang out rather than just crash.
Location That Gets It Right
Here’s what I love about Coolbinia — it’s one of those Perth neighborhoods that locals know but tourists often miss, which means you get that authentic residential feel without being stuck in the middle of nowhere. You’re close enough to the city center that getting around is easy, but far enough out that you can actually find parking (which, let’s be real, is a blessing in Perth). The area has this quiet, tree-lined character that makes evening walks actually pleasant, and there are some solid local spots within walking distance if you want to grab coffee or a quick bite.
Why Couples Keep Coming Back
I can totally see why couples rate this place so highly — there’s something about the setup that just works for romantic getaways. Maybe it’s the way the living space encourages you to actually spend time together instead of just watching TV, or how the neighborhood invites those leisurely morning walks that make you feel like you’re living like locals for a few days. The fact that recent guests consistently give the location a 9.0 rating tells you everything you need know about how this place hits that sweet spot between convenience and character.
Why Guests Love It
What really sets this place apart is how it manages to feel both stylish and livable — you know how some trendy places look great in photos but aren’t actually comfortable to stay in? This isn’t that. The “funky and cool” promise in the name actually delivers without being try-hard about it, and having that private parking on-site means one less thing to worry about when you’re exploring Perth. It’s the kind of place where you find yourself thinking “we should book this again next time” before you’ve even checked out.

Guest Reviews
Very good
fantastic location for what we needed whilst in Perth
What could be improved: mattress in the main bedroom could do with replacing
Was in a pleasant spot with park just around the corner for the kids to play and stretch their legs
The location was great but the house was disappointing
The location was excellent. This property seemed well priced, which was great, but the problems with the property made me wish I had booked another option.
What could be improved: Cleanliness. There were dishes in the cupboard that weren't clean - we had to wash them before use. There was a light in the food cupboard that was permanently on - there didn't seem to be a switch for it. Some of the soft furnishings should be thrown away - for example, the cushions and mat in the lounge room. They did not look or feel clean. The water tap in the kitchen is broken and pored water all over the kitchen. The shower was great when you were in it but it dripped continually after use. The bathroom sink and taps are terrible with large rust stains. The windows in the second bedroom don't seem to open which makes the room very hot. The house was noisy at night with other residents being in the garden - this was on week days.
The beds were comfortable but overpriced for what the place is.
The beds were comfortable
What could be improved: Only aircon in the main living area, the bathroom is in major need of renovating, leaking taps in the shower, the filter water tap leaks all over the bench, the pans for cooking need replacing, the front door lock is dicky and came opened in the middle of the night, there is a dog or cat door that has just been duct taped up.
Very good
Very nice and comfortable stay.
