South Perth Executive Apartment

Australia
7.6 Very Good
20 Rose Avenue, South Perth, 6151 Perth, Australia

Overview

So I ended up at the South Perth Executive Apartment on Rose Avenue, and honestly? It’s one of those places that surprises you. You know how some hotels promise the world and deliver plastic cups and scratchy towels? Well, this isn’t that. The moment you walk into these apartments, there’s this immediate sense of “oh, actual adults live here” – proper kitchen with real plates, a couch you’d actually want to sit on, and windows that frame the city like someone planned it that way.

The thing about Rose Avenue is it’s perfectly positioned without being in the thick of things. You’re literally a five-minute walk to the South Perth foreshore, which means you can grab coffee and watch the ferries chug back and forth to the city while joggers and dog walkers do their morning thing. The Perth Zoo is right there too – you can actually hear the lions sometimes in the early morning, which sounds weird but is kind of charming. What really sold me though was how quiet it gets at night. I mean, you’re close enough to the city that you can see all the lights twinkling across the Swan River, but far enough that you’re not dealing with drunk people yelling at 2 AM.

The apartments themselves feel like someone’s well-appointed home rather than a hotel room with delusions of grandeur. The kitchen actually works – I made proper breakfast instead of surviving on minibar snacks and overpriced room service. There’s a washer and dryer, which saved me from that awkward “do I have enough clean underwear for the rest of this trip” calculation. The bed is genuinely comfortable, not just “hotel comfortable,” and the bathroom has one of those rainfall showers that doesn’t feel like it’s rationing water. Parking was straightforward too, which anyone who’s driven around Perth’s city center will appreciate.

Now, the 7.6 rating makes sense when you consider this place doesn’t have a fancy lobby with marble everything or a concierge in a uniform. It’s more understated than flashy – think quality over Instagram-worthy moments. The staff are helpful without being overly chatty, and check-in was refreshingly efficient. You get the sense they’re used to hosting business travelers and people who know what they want without needing their hand held. If you’re looking for a pool party scene or a bar to meet other travelers, this isn’t your spot. But if you want to feel like you’re actually living in Perth for a few days rather than just passing through, the South Perth Executive Apartment nails it. Plus, you can walk to the ferry terminal and be in the city center in about fifteen minutes, which beats dealing with Perth traffic any day of the week.

Very good

The location was great, a few good coffee shops around the corner for breakfast and a Coles for other needs. Lots of places to visit close buy

What could be improved: No microwave in the unit which make preparing a quick dinner or lunch difficult, suggest adding a small microwave

Good

Very convenient and nice walk to river. Coles very close by as well as nice cafes.

What could be improved: Unfortunately has a neighbour who can be a bit noisy at late hours. Not every night though.

We enjoyed our stay for the quiet but easy access to shops and attractions it provided

The apartment was clean and so well located - quiet (after spending the preceding week in Scarborough which must be the drag racing capital of Australia, this was a blessing), close to the coffee shops and markets on Angelo Street, and walking distance to the zoo and the Swan River foreshore. AND the coffee/tea mugs were real mugs - not the smaller white cups often provided by accommodation hosts.

What could be improved: We would have liked:
- a grater
- bedside lights we could read by rather than the low light ones provided
