1. Wild Whispers – Chittering Valley

Wild Whispers is a luxurious off-grid guest house for two, nestled beside the Brockman River in the Chittering Valley.

Tucked away in the serene Chittering Valley, Wild Whispers is an adults-only eco-luxury retreat designed for complete reconnection with nature – and each other. Less than an hour north of Perth, this secluded hideaway offers a beautifully appointed chalet set amongst rolling farmland, native bush and big open skies.

Wild Whispers is a luxurious farm stay in the Chittering Valley just under one hour from Perth.

Why we love it
Wild Whispers feels genuinely secluded and indulgent, without being overdone. The balance of luxury and relaxation is spot on – from the outdoor fire pit to the yoga platforms overlooking the Brockman River. It’s ideal for couples celebrating something special or simply craving uninterrupted downtime.

Thoughtfully designed with floor-to-ceiling windows, plush interiors, stylish decor, fully equiped kitchen, and a gorgeous sunny cabana that invites you to linger a little longer – it’s the kind of place where mornings start slowly with coffee and birdsong, and evenings end by the fire pit under a blanket of stars.

While staying at Wild Whispers, explore the surrounding Chittering Valley with scenic drives, local produce trails and nearby bushwalks. Stop by Bindoon Bakehaus, visit local farms, or simply enjoy the luxury of doing absolutely nothing.

2. The Lodge Wadjemup – Rottnest Island

Recently named one of TIME’s World’s Greatest Places of 2025, The Lodge Wadjemup is a world-class island escape just off the coast of Perth. Located behind the main settlement on Rottnest Island, this beautifully designed hotel blends relaxed island charm with elevated luxury.

Why we love it
The Lodge Wadjemup perfectly captures Rottnest Island’s laid-back spirit while delivering a genuinely luxe experience. From the heated pool to the exceptional dining, it feels special without losing that unmistakable Rotto vibe.

Accommodation ranges from restored heritage rooms to modern lake-view suites and stylish new pool-view rooms. The newly added heated pool, kept at a toasty 28 degrees, is a standout. On-site highlights include a chic bar, the Pelican Rottnest coffee and soft-serve kiosk, and the Mediterranean-inspired Sunsets Rottnest restaurant, home to the popular Winter Wine Series.

Beyond the lodge, Rottnest Island offers endless ways to fill your days: cycling around the island, discovering salt lakes and coastal trails, watching glowing sunsets, learning about Wadjemup’s rich cultural history, and of course, meeting the famously photogenic quokkas. What we love about these Perth staycations is how effortlessly they combine convenience with a genuine sense of escape.

3. Traveller’s Return – Fremantle

For a luxury staycation with character, comfort and unbeatable location, Traveller’s Return in South Fremantle is a dream. Launched in April 2025, this beautifully restored 1901 Federation bungalow has been transformed into a three-bedroom retreat that feels like a boutique hotel wrapped in the warmth of a home.

Why we love it
It’s rare to find a staycation that suits couples, families and groups equally well – but Traveller’s Return nails it. The blend of heritage charm, modern comfort and walkable location makes it feel indulgent yet wonderfully easy.

Inside, you’ll find soft linens, vintage furnishings, Aesop amenities, plush living spaces and a secluded garden oasis. Thoughtful details throughout encourage you to slow down and savour the moment.

Step outside and you are only moments from South Fremantle’s vibrant café scene, restaurants, bars and boutique shops. Spend your days strolling to South Beach, exploring the Fremantle Markets and historic West End, or beach hopping along the coast. Then return home for a soak in the deep bath or a quiet cuppa in the afternoon sun. It’s one of those Perth staycations that feels indulgent yet easy, making it ideal for a spontaneous midweek break or relaxed weekend escape.

4. Wagtails Watch – Bindoon

Less than an hour from Perth, Wagtails Watch is a luxury off-grid tiny house set on 50 tranquil acres in Bindoon’s rolling hills.

Another standout in the Chittering Valley, Wagtails Watch offers a peaceful, luxury escape immersed in nature. Designed for guests seeking tranquillity, this beautifully crafted tiny home blends modern comforts with a strong connection to the surrounding landscape.

Why we love it
Wagtails Watch is all about space, silence and scenery. The elevated views, refined interiors and private outdoor areas create a sense of calm that’s hard to beat. It’s perfect for couples wanting to unplug and fully reset.

Expect elegant interiors, expansive views across farmland and bush, and private outdoor spaces perfect for soaking, stargazing or enjoying a long lunch with local produce.

Beyond the accommodation, the Chittering region invites exploration – from scenic country roads and wildflower spotting (in season), to farm gates, walking trails and relaxed picnics among nature. It’s a gentle reminder of how restorative a slower pace can be.

5. Mairiposa Farm Stay – Bickley Valley

Just 40 minutes from Perth in the lush Bickley Valley, Mairiposa Farm Stay is proof that farm stays can be both luxurious and deeply relaxing. Perfect for couples, this one-bedroom self-contained barn loft sits within a working fruit orchard, surrounded by rolling hills and native bushland and is one of our favourite Perth staycations.

Why we love it
This staycation combines countryside charm with thoughtful luxury. The inclusions – fresh eggs, orchard fruit, coffee beans and a snack hamper – make it feel incredibly welcoming, while the cosy wood fire and stylish interiors elevate it far beyond a traditional farm stay.

The two-level barn conversion is warm, spacious and beautifully styled, featuring a cosy wood fire, well-equipped kitchen and thoughtful inclusions that make the stay feel extra special. Guests may even take part in fruit picking when in season.

During your stay, explore nearby wineries, cideries and breweries, take scenic bushwalks or simply enjoy slow afternoons by the fire. Autumn and winter are particularly magical here, with misty mornings, cool nights and star-filled skies.

Whether you’re planning a romantic weekend, a relaxed family escape or a luxurious reset, these Perth staycations prove you don’t need to travel far to enjoy a luxury staycation near Perth. Sometimes, the best holidays are waiting right on your doorstep.
