Rottnest Island is an Class A Reserve, and it’s our home. We want to protect and nurture the island for our guests and all future generations. Please respect all flora & fauna, on land and in the water. Take only pictures, and leave only footprints, and please stay
on the paths provided.

Samphire Rottnest is fenced for your security, but also for the protection of the local fauna. Quokkas can get into tricky and dangerous circumstances amongst the different levels of the property, the fenced areas and the pool area. Try not to let them in and if you find a quokka inside, please alert our staff. To keep quokkas healthy, please don’t touch them, don’t give them food or water, and enjoy watching them on their own terms.

Please visit rottnestisland.com for more information on protecting our beautiful island.

In Western Australia, we’re blessed with a lot of sunshine, so why not take advantage of it!

Samphire Rottnest uses solar energy to help power all areas of the hotel. There are no direct greenhouse emissions because the electricity is generated from sunlight rather than by burning fossil fuels.

We use stylish wall-mounted pumps to reduce soap wastage, the disposal of plastic waste, and carbon emissions caused during excessive shipping requirements.

Inspired by the turquoise waters of Rottnest, we have two heated, lagoon-like pools for you to enjoy. Relax poolside in stylish cabanas surrounded by native landscaping.

One of our pools is designed for children, but please remember that children under twelve must be accompanied by an adult at all times.

Opening hours: sunrise to sunset.

Sink into the island vibe with a cocktail or snacks. Our food and drinks service are available poolside, see details in our Poolside Menu.

Opening hours are subject to change due to seasonality and adverse weather conditions.

Available from the pool area.

We love the fresh salty Rottnest air and hope you do too. The hotel is completely non-smoking, including the balconies, terraces and all outdoor areas. We thank you for your cooperation.

A cleaning fee will be charged to your account if the non-smoking policy is not adhered to. Rooms are fitted with smoke detectors.

To help preserve our pristine Rottnest environment, a designated smoking area is set aside at the northern end of Hotel Rottnest. Please dispose of your cigarette butts/ash in the bins provided.
