General overview
Globe offers welcome. Self contained upper floor apartment. This is our holiday apartment, only used by us and never rented out. It is on the whole top floor of a detached house, the downstairs apartment is rented long-term. We designed it ourselves so it's perfect for a couple (or 2 couples) with all the comforts of home. Located next to a huge park and surrounded by trees. Easy care so you can relax and enjoy your stay!
Perth has a lot to offer - spectacular wildflowers in spring, pristine beaches in summer, mild weather in winter to enjoy sightseeing. Day trips to Rottnest are easy from our house as you can catch the train to the Fremantle ferry terminal. Rottnest is a must see - get a "quokka selfie", snorkle the reef (marine sanctuary), go whale watching, and enjoy the many hidden coves and beaches. If you are looking for more ideas on what to see and do in Perth please ask!
The space
Large full kitchen with dishwasher and breakfast bar, comfortable lounge area, and indoor/outdoor dining area. Two bedrooms (both with queen beds), one bathroom with built-in laundry, separate toilet.
Single lock up garage for our bikes and your car.
Guest access
Located on the second floor (up one flight of stairs), with our own private garage and entry door. We have a keycode lock for easy access.
Notes
If you are interested in Australian Rules football you can catch a train to the new stadium to watch a game. Sculptures by the Sea is held in March at Cottesloe beach and the Kings Park Wildflower Festival is on in September. The Subiaco Farmer's Markets are nearby on every Saturday morning subifarmersmarket.com.au
Easy day trips can take you to the Pinnacles and sand dunes north of Perth, Yanchep to see koalas, the Swan Valley to sample local food and wines (and craft beer), Mandurah to see the Dambo Giants, Penguin Island and more. And of course, Rottnest Island (by ferry) to see the quokkas.

We are a short walk to the Perth-Fremantle train line and on several bus routes. We have 3 adult bikes available - there is a bike path along the rail line and you can safely cycle to the Swan River, Kings Park, Perth and Fremantle, the beach and the shopping centres. There are also several bus routes very close by. You can catch the train direct to the Rottnest ferry port in Fremantle.

Feedback
-
we loved everything about this tidy two bedroom apartment. it was uber organized, clean, pretty, well thought out and everything we needed was right where we could easily find it. the apartment was quiet, close to bus and train in the perth area and very safe and secure. two nice grocery stores were one train stop away if you don’t have a car. we walked over to king’s park through some very nice neighborhoods full of old style, beautiful perth homes. we got an opportunity to meet linda and graham who are very friendly, generous, and well traveled. everything about this australian stop was a plus, plus. thank you for the stay. we rate it A+. -
We stayed and Linda's apartment in Subiaco during our stay in W Australia in 2022. The apartment is fantastic, very modern, clean and fully equipped. The location was equally perfect for us with easy access to Kings Park, the various coffee shops and restaurants in the local area and of course down town Perth which was only a 10 minute drive away. Everything about this exchange was perfect and I would fully recommend exchanging with Linda who is pleasant, easy to communicate with and super responsive to any questions etc. Would love to stay again in the future! -
Linda and Graham have a lovely well appointed comfortable apartment. Location to city, Fremantle and wonderful parks so very convenient- no need for a car. They are are wonderful hosts I felt very much at home. -
We made our way back to Nova Scotia from Perth during the COVID19 crisis but it was hard to leave Australia's west coast. We arrived at the apartment on 5 Mar 2020 and left 14 Mar 2020. Linda & Graham's Daglish apartment was about as perfect a unit and location that one could hope for. With a short (5-10 min) walk to the train, traveling to the downtown Perth and Fremantle areas was ideal. Ours was a group of 4 travelers and the unit itself is well appointed with everything needed for a short to long term stay. We were able to text and email with Linda & Graham very easily with quick responses to any questions. On our way further south we managed to meet up with Linda & Graham at their home and we had good visit. Hopefully life and travel with return to something more typical and we will be able to host Linda & Graham when they make their way across Canada. Thanks Bill C. -
We had a great stay at Linda's and Graham's apartment in Perth. It is clean, quiet, comfortable, well-equipped and conveniently located. Linda responded promptly to any enquiries and was a pleasure to deal with. We look forward to their trip to Vancouver next summer. -
Linda's place was one of the best exchange homes I have ever been to! To start with, the communication with Linda and Graham was effortless - they provided great detail and were very helpful in planning our trip. Check-in was easy and straightforward. The apartment itself is perfect for a couple, in a great location in Perth just a few minutes to the beach, with a park right next door. Linda provides bikes to use to get around which was perfect for the weather in Perth which was sunny and warm. I would stay here again in a heartbeat!
