Ocean Beach Hotel
( 08-9384 2555;
www.obh.com.au
; cnr Marine Pde & Eric St; r $170-250; )
A good midrange op-
tion facing Cottesloe Beach, this accommodation is slightly removed from the raucously
popular pub of the same name. Rooms are large and pretty good value, either in an older
art-deco area, or in a towering new block. It's a good alternative to the pricey hotels of
central Perth
and
the Indian Ocean is just across the road.

The Peninsula
( 08-9368 6688;
www.thepeninsula.net
; 53 South Perth Esplanade; apt from $205; )
While only the
front few apartments have full-on views, the Peninsula's waterfront location lends itself to
lazy ferry rides and sunset strolls along the river. It's a sprawling, older-style complex, but
it's kept in good nick. The apartments all have kitchenettes and there's a communal laun-
dry room.
