79 Close To Optus & Crown Rivervale Sleeps 2

Overview

First Impressions

When I first pulled up to 79 Close To Optus & Crown Rivervale Sleeps 2, I’ll be honest — the name pretty much tells you everything you need to know about this place. It’s not trying to be fancy or mysterious; it’s a straightforward four-star accommodation that delivers exactly what it promises. Located in Perth‘s Rivervale area, this property sits in one of those spots where you’re close enough to the action but far enough away to actually get some peace and quiet.

Location That Actually Works

You know what I love about this place? The location is genuinely practical. When they say “close to Optus” in the name, they mean it — you’re literally minutes from Optus Stadium, which is perfect if you’re catching a game or concert. Crown Perth is just as accessible, so whether you’re feeling lucky at the casino or want a decent meal, you’re sorted. The thing is, Rivervale itself is this quiet residential area that most tourists never really discover, but locals know it’s one of those hidden gems where you can actually parking without losing your mind.

The Space Itself

The apartment setup works really well for couples — and honestly, the feedback about this being perfect for romantic getaways makes total sense once you’re there. It’s designed for two people max, which means everything feels properly sized rather than awkwardly empty or cramped. The kitchen is actually functional (not just decorative like some places), so you can grab groceries from the nearby shops and cook breakfast if you want to save a few dollars or just enjoy a lazy morning in.

What Makes It Special

I mean, this isn’t going to win any design awards, but there’s something refreshing about a place that focuses on being genuinely useful rather than Instagram-perfect. The room is comfortable and well-maintained, and you get the sense that someone actually thought about what travelers need rather than what looks good in photos. The area around Rivervale has this authentic Perth vibe — you’re staying where actual people live and work, not in some tourist bubble. Plus, getting into the city center or out to other attractions is straightforward from here.

Why Guests Love It

What really comes through in the reviews is that couples genuinely enjoy their time here, and I think it’s because the place delivers on its promises without any surprises. You’re getting solid accommodation in a spot that’s both practical and peaceful. The proximity to major venues means you can easily catch events at Optus Stadium or spend an evening at Crown, then come back to a quiet neighborhood where you can actually sleep. It’s one of those places where the value becomes obvious once you’ve stayed — you’re paying for location and functionality, and both deliver exactly as advertised.
