Rottnest is calling, and it's closer than you think.

Stay local and escape to Rottnest/Wadjemup this spring. Wander car-free trails, spot quokkas among the wildflowers and dip into the island's turquoise bays as the days grow longer and the sea warms up, just 30 minutes from the heart of Fremantle, Perth.

Kaya, Welcome, to The Lodge Wadjemup.

Set between salt lakes and sea, The Lodge Wadjemup is an oasis for you to bask in unhurried days and golden evenings on Rottnest Island.

The Lodge Wadjemup is a place of equals. We’re all visitors, all tourists. We're all on bicycles or on foot, all equal in our environment and we love it.

We share the respect of land and sea, knowledge and connection of the traditional owners of Wadjemup and embrace the under-developed nature of the island.

We are a joyful place for community and connection. Put your shoulders down, take a deep breath and unwind with us.

We welcome that salty feeling in the air, on our skin and feet!

We welcome all.

Wadjemup is the traditional name for Rottnest Island - a place of deep cultural and spiritual significance, connection and storytelling. Grounded in heritage and connection, we are an immersive sanctuary where instilling a true sense of calm, balance and escapism is at our core. We invite you to savour life’s pleasures at your own pace and let nature itself inspire you to wind down.

Indulge in salt, sun and time well spent.
