Although it's 30 km (19 mi) from Perth's business district, this palm-shaded building—which resembles a southern plantation owner's mansion—is a comfortable place to relax for a few days, especially if you like golf. Spacious rooms, decorated in subdued pastels and warm tones, all have views over the lagoon or the 27-hole, Robert Trent Jones Jr.-designed golf course. A free shuttle runs daily to the Joondalup train station and Lakeside Shopping Centre.
