Como Retreat – two bedroom villa

Overview

First Impressions

When I first pulled up to Como Retreat – two bedroom villa on Pether Road, I honestly wasn’t sure what to expect from this four-star property tucked away in Perth’s Como suburb. The villa sits quietly in a residential area, and there’s something immediately calming about the whole setup — you know you’re somewhere special when you can actually hear birds instead of traffic. The private parking right on site is a nice touch too, which might sound minor but trust me, it matters when you’re hauling luggage around Perth.

The Villa Experience

This isn’t your typical hotel room situation — we’re talking about a proper two-bedroom villa that feels more like staying at a well-appointed friend’s place than a commercial property. The space is genuinely generous, with enough room to spread out and actually live a bit during your stay. I mean, when you’ve got two full bedrooms, you can finally travel with friends or family without everyone stepping on each other. The kitchen setup is particularly thoughtful — not just a mini-fridge and microwave, but actual cooking facilities if you want to grab some local ingredients and make breakfast yourself.

Location and Surroundings

Como itself is one of those Perth suburbs that locals know about but tourists often miss, and honestly, that’s part of its charm. You’re close enough to the city center to get there easily, but far enough out to feel like you’re experiencing how Perth actually lives. The couples who stay here absolutely love the location — and I can see why, especially if you’re looking for somewhere peaceful to decompress. There’s a golf course within a couple of miles if that’s your thing, and the fishing opportunities around here are actually pretty decent (though you’ll want to ask locals about the best spots).

Activities and Amenities

What caught me off guard was the tennis court — not something you expect to find at most accommodations, but it’s there if you want to work up a sweat. The whole property has this sort of residential resort feel, where you can be as active or as relaxed as you want. The fishing access is legitimate too, which is refreshing since a lot of places just throw that on their amenities list without it being particularly accessible. You’re not dealing with crowds or having to book time slots for everything — it’s much more organic than that.

Why Guests Love It

Recent guests have been rating the location at 9.5 out of 10, and after spending time here, I get it completely. It’s that sweet spot where you feel like you’re somewhere distinct and local, but you’re not sacrificing comfort or convenience. The villa format means you can actually settle in rather than just passing through, and there’s something to be said for having your own space to retreat to. Couples particularly seem to appreciate the privacy and the fact that they can create their own rhythm here — cook when they want, relax by the tennis court, or just enjoy the quiet residential vibe that Como offers.

Hotels near me in Perth deliver quick trips to Fremantle markets, Indian Ocean beaches, and quokka encounters on Rottnest.
