Backpacker & Budget Accommodation

A state that can fit many European countries into it with room to spare, Western Australia offers a diverse range of backpacker experiences!

Start in the capital Perth, where you can book a room in the city centre or travel further out and stay at one of the best rated backpackers in Australia – right on the beach.

An area famed for its culture and casual approach, Fremantle is also a great base from which to explore the metropolitan area. You can enjoy local attractions, cheap food and history in both locations.

Distances between regions can be lengthy, but well developed transport will easily get you from the hot, tropical North West to the cooler climes of the South Coast.

Travel inland to mining city Kalgoorlie, where you can stay in a converted brothel or hire a surfboard and ‘hang ten’ in spots like Dunsborough and Margaret River.

WA is a state edged by stunning coastline and water adventures are high on any traveller’s agenda. You can dive with whale sharks at Ningaloo Reef, fish for barramundi in the Kimberley or swim with dolphins in Bunbury. Then collapse or relax in modern and private rooms at the end of it all!
