No trip to Western Australia is complete without saying hello to what we’re calling the cutest animal on earth: super-friendly and ever-smiling quokkas. Now there’s a new eco-friendly Rottnest Island glamping experience for travellers who want to greet their new furry friends without impacting their natural environment. Discovery Rottnest Island is a brand-new glamping retreat on Rottnest Island that’s become a world-famous travel destination thanks to its stunning beaches and friendly locals.

The humans of Rottnest Island are definitely one kind of friendly locals, but the teeny marsupial quokkas are the real stars here, and they tend to hang out close by the retreat. It’s a perfect place to get a quokka selfie.

The retreat is the perfect home base for adventurers who don’t want to give up the comforts of plush accommodation. The eco-tents come with ensuites, king- or queen-size beds and private decks, and the high-end Rottnest Island glamping tents also come equipped with a kitchenette, walk-in wardrobe, luxury outdoor furniture and floor to ceiling glass sliding doors for optimal ocean views.

When you’re not out exploring the island, you can enjoy the retreat. Take a dip in the pool and grab a drink from the poolside bar, step out onto Pinky’s Beach, cook up a storm on a BBQ or dine in at a restaurant at the beach club. A concierge service will look after you, and a tour desk can help you play trips around Rottnest Island.
