Skylineviews 2bdrm River, Waca, Optus Stadium

Overview

First Impressions

Walking into Skylineviews 2bdrm River, Waca, Optus Stadium feels more like arriving at a friend’s well-appointed apartment than checking into typical hotel accommodation. This four-star property sits right in Perth CBD on Bennett Street, and honestly, the name tells you everything you need to know about what you’re getting. The views are genuinely spectacular — I mean, you can see the Swan River winding through the city and catch glimpses of Optus Stadium from the windows. It’s one of those places where you immediately understand why couples rate it so highly for romantic getaways.

Location & Neighborhood

The Perth CBD location is actually perfect if you want to be in the thick of things without dealing with the chaos of staying right on the main strips. Bennett Street is quiet enough that you’ll sleep well, but you’re literally walking distance to everything that matters. The WACA is practically next door — cricket fans will love this — and Optus Stadium is close enough that you could walk there if you’re feeling energetic (though most people grab an Uber). What really sold me on the area is how easy it is to get around. There’s free private parking on site, which is honestly a godsend in Perth CBD where parking usually costs a fortune.

The Apartment Experience

This isn’t your standard hotel room setup — you’re getting a proper two-bedroom apartment that feels like home. The space is generous, which makes sense given that rating of 8.9 from guests who’ve stayed here. The kitchen is fully equipped, so you can actually cook if you want to save money or just prefer eating in while enjoying those river views. The living area flows nicely, and there’s enough room that you won’t feel cramped even if you’re staying for several days. I particularly appreciated the attention to detail in the furnishings — everything feels upscale without being stuffy.

What Sets It Apart

You know what really makes this place work? It’s the combination of that prime location with genuine comfort and space. Most accommodations in Perth CBD either give you a great location with tiny rooms, or decent space but you’re stuck somewhere inconvenient. Here, you get both. The fact that recent guests rated the location 8.5 out of 10 tells you everything — people who’ve actually stayed here and explored the area think it’s spot-on. Plus, having two bedrooms means it works whether you’re a couple wanting extra space or friends traveling together who don’t want to share a bed.

Why Guests Love It

The high ratings make complete sense once you’ve experienced the place. It’s that rare find where the photos actually undersell what you’re getting. The river views are better in person, the space feels more generous than expected, and the location proves itself every time you step outside and realize how close you are to everything. Couples especially seem to appreciate the romantic potential of those skyline views combined with the privacy and comfort of having a whole apartment to themselves. The free parking is just the cherry on top — though honestly, in Perth CBD, it’s more like finding gold.

Perth’s hotels pair oceanfront spas, sunset sailing on the Swan, and concierge-led tours of hidden street-art laneways.
