; 16 Dolphin Dr; apt from $199; )
Seashells' apartments are
cool and spacious, and there's a beach on its doorstep and a lovely infinity-lipped pool
just metres away. Check into one of its luxury beachfront villas and you may not want to
leave.
Sebel
( 08-9512 8300;

If this was
actually Venice, you'd have to be staying in the Doge's Palace for a better location. This
big white apartment block offers well-appointed modern apartments and studio rooms, all
with views. There's plenty of free parking plus a heated pool and small gymnasium.
Downstairs is the excellent M on the Point bar and restaurant.
