Nevis Estate Boutique Hotel

No offer to carry luggage up two flights of stairs. Given slippers to wear in the property which was ridiculous as it meant we would be expected to carry luggage down two flights of stairs wearing slip on slippers. Accident waiting to happen.

Beautiful property, lovely room and amenities (pool), and a fantastic breakfast. 10 out of 10!

Beautiful hotel in very nice, well maintained surroundings, and a swimming pool. 15 minute walk into downtown Perth. However you should check the cancellation policy before booking. A good idea to also thoroughly read the fine print. We discovered just prior to checking in that guests are not allowed to bring alcohol. The hotel advise that you purchase alcohol from them. In all our travel we have never come across such a policy. There is a nice bar which was closed for the two nights we stayed ! Apparently the bar is closed on weekdays and you should request "in advance" if you wish the bar to be open. We would have cancelled our reservation if we had known this at time of booking. However cancelling less than 14 days prior results in a 100% cancellation fee for the first night. Within 7 days the total amount will be charged. In our case $225.44 & $447.87 Parking is limited and on a first come, first serve basis. No information is given for alternative parking. The grounds are huge with plenty of room for additional parking. Our room was very nice. Clean, modern and well maintained. However there was no thermostat and was very cold. Only one arm chair. A small coffee table would also have helped. Beautiful bathroom with shower and separate bath tub. Could use some shelving for toiletries and bring your own Kleenex. Not provided. In all, a beautiful relaxing hotel within walking distance of the town. Just be sure to read the fine print.

While the booking was completed on Expedia, I then had to complete a pre-booking through the hotel’s check in app... then complete the actual check in on the same app,.. then show my ID to the attendant when we arrived at the hotel. It seems an ‘automated process’ should be less work, not more. Between this, the list of prescribed instructions for our stay, and the need for ear plugs for the overnight train passing (adjacent to the property), I suspect we’ll not be back.

Beautiful boutique hotel, wonderful experience.
