Stay Rottnest Accommodation Refurbishment
This extensive program involves the refurbishment of Rottnest Island Authority’s accommodation offerings and focuses on enhancing the comfort and service level of various accommodation types.
Overview
Most accommodation on Rottnest Island is operated by Rottnest Island Authority (RIA) via Stay Rottnest, which includes self-contained units and villas.
These properties, strategically located around the coastline of the island, are set to undergo significant refurbishments. The project includes the renovation of kitchens, bathrooms, and bedrooms, installation of new flooring, replacement of aging windows and doors, new internal painting, and courtyard amenity upgrades.
Work to refurbish units Fays Bay is continuing, while all units in South Thomson, Geordie Bay and Longreach Bay have been completed.
The Stay Rottnest accommodation enhancement is a key priority of the Rottnest Island Management Plan 2023-28. The project also aligns with RIA's strategy to maintain high standards while exploring private investment opportunities for new large-scale offerings, ensuring the future sustainability and appeal of the island's accommodations.
