Why am I seeing this page?

You are seeing this page because Stay Rottnest accommodation is being released today.

Due to an overwhelming demand for Stay Rottnest accommodation on Open Days, we are using a virtual queuing system to create a smoother booking experience for guests.

If you are not looking to book accommodation and would like to access rottnestisland.com to plan your visit, please check back after 12 noon today.

What is Stay Rottnest?

Stay Rottnest is our online booking website for accommodation.

The Stay Rottnest booking website will give you access to the largest range of options on the island, including our premium and ocean view self-contained units, heritage cottages and campground, plus hostel and dormitories.

You’ll be able to easily search by island location and check availability based on flexible dates of travel. This means if you choose dates where suitable accommodation is not available, you can simply click on the calendar to show alternative dates where accommodation is available.

How does the queue work?

The online queue for bookings will open at 8:30 am (AWST) on Wednesday 1 May 2024.

Anyone who joins the virtual waiting room (pre-queue) prior to 8:30 am will be assigned a random position in the queue when bookings open. This means that a person who arrives on this website at 1 am and a person who arrives at 8:20 am each have an equal chance of securing accommodation when bookings open.

Anyone who joins the queue after 8:30 am will be placed at the end of the queue.

Remember, you can only book two units per transaction. Once you have completed your booking you will need to re-join the queue if you wish to book additional accommodation.

Where can I find information to help me book accommodation?

You’ll find everything you need to know to help you make your reservation in the Booking Guide.
